VML MAP’s Agentic AI Lab helps some of the world’s largest brands figure out what AI means for their marketing organisations — from redesigning how teams work, to building new consumer experiences, to launching AI-powered tools and products. 

We are now looking for a student to support this work. Someone who can sit in a client strategy session in the morning, prototype a demo in the afternoon, and turn a brainstorming session into a polished deck by the end of the week.
This is not a defined-lane role. You will move between strategy, storytelling, prototyping, workshops, and client delivery — often in the same week. You will use AI tools — Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor — as a first instinct, not a last resort. 

You will get direct exposure to recognised brands across industries such as FMCG, automotive, energy, food service, and retail from day one.

What will your day look like?

Supporting the full stack of AI consulting from strategy to implementation, you will work on:

• Consulting and storytelling: Build and refine slide decks for client pitches, RFPs, and new business. Turn brainstorming sessions into structured first drafts. Prepare workshop materials and translate discussions into clear next steps.
• Project delivery: Synthesise insights from stakeholder interviews, help identify and prioritise AI use cases, and work with product and engineering teams to translate strategy into defined priorities.
• Building and prototyping: Co-develop AI demos and proof-of-concept experiences — from backstage solutions like data insights agents, to consumer-facing applications like voice agents. Independently test emerging Martech tools and return with structured learnings.
• Internal enablement: Support the design of internal AI pilots, write the briefs that get leadership buy-in, and contribute to measurement frameworks. 

Who are you going to work with?

Navigating the organisation independently, you will be unblocking yourself and finding the right people without waiting to be guided. While doing this, you'll:

• Build first drafts of client-facing decks for RFPs, pitches, and use case presentations.
• Prototype AI demos using vibe coding and AI-assisted development tools, iterating until demo-ready.
• Use Figma to polish visual components and make materials genuinely client-ready.
• Synthesise stakeholder interview insights into use case frameworks and prioritisation inputs.
• Prepare workshop materials — Miro boards, facilitation guides, agendas — and support live facilitation.
• Draft project deliverables including engagement plans, capability briefs, and pilot frameworks.
• Test emerging AI and Martech tools and return with structured findings.
• Support internal enablement — business cases, pilot designs, and measurement models. 

What do you bring to the table?

We are hiring for a mindset, not a background.
You may be a master’s student in management, business analytics, digital innovation, strategy and technology, philosophy, design, or computer science. Two of our AI consulting leads came from philosophy — so the right profile is not always the obvious one on paper. 

You should however have: 

• A genuine AI-first working style: you reach for Claude or ChatGPT before Google, and you have built things with these tools — not just used them to clean up writing.
• The ability to turn a messy brainstorming session into a structured, compelling deck quickly.
• Comfort working in PowerPoint and Figma, or a clear drive to get there fast.
• Experience prototyping digital experiences using AI-assisted development tools — demos, side projects, anything real.
• Strong communication skills with an instinct for what lands with a senior business audience.
• High emotional intelligence: you read the room, manage up well, and know when to ask and when to act.
• A self-starter mindset — you unblock yourself and produce good work without hand-holding.
• Comfort with ambiguity and ability to deliver without a fully defined brief. 

What is also nice to have in this role: 

• Experience building voice agents or ChatGPT-style applications.
• Familiarity with Martech platforms such as Adobe, Salesforce, or Braze.
• Experience designing or facilitating workshops.
• Some exposure to CRM, marketing automation, or customer experience programmes.

VML MAP’s Agentic AI Lab helps some of the world’s largest brands turn the AI shift into something tangible: from backstage tools that change how teams work, to user-facing applications, agents, demos, and prototypes people can actually experience. 

We are now looking for a student assistant to work closely with our AI Lead on the design and prototyping of user-facing AI solutions.

This is a hands-on product design role at the intersection of AI, UX, interface craft, and rapid prototyping. You will shape prototypes, apps, demos, and interactive concepts that make AI feel useful, understandable, and exciting for real users and clients. This is not about designing screens that disappear into a folder. It is about imagining new AI-powered experiences, designing them properly, and bringing them to life as functional apps and demos that prove the value of your ideas — using tools such as Figma, Claude Code, Codex, and other AI-assisted development tools. 

You will be involved in the full front-stage journey: from idea, to user flow, to interface design, to working prototype, to demo-ready experience. 

Caught your attention? Keep reading!

What will your day look like?

You will design and prototype user-facing AI experiences for large clients across industries including automotive, retail, financial services, and enterprise tools. 
The work may involve digital products, mobile apps, web experiences, service concepts, internal tools, live demos, and physical-digital journeys. 

Your role will be to shape the front stage: what users see, understand, click, type, and act on. You will help ask the questions that make an idea more interesting — what role could voice play? How should data show up without feeling overwhelming? How do we make it feel different from yet another AI chat app? 

The work is exploratory. Sometimes the question will not be “how do we improve this screen?” but “what should this experience even be now that AI is part of it?”

Who are you going to work with?

Becoming a part of the wider Agentic AI Lab, you will work closely with the AI Lead on user-facing AI product concepts, as well as: 

• Design product experiences, user flows, interface concepts, and prototypes in Figma.
• Translate early ideas into tangible product directions and interactive experiences.
• Use AI-assisted development tools such as Claude Code and Codex to turn designs into working prototypes.
• Prepare prototypes and demos for clients, internal teams, and stakeholders.
• Collaborate with front-end developers to refine prototypes into product-ready applications.
• Research and benchmark modern AI products, interaction patterns, and emerging product behaviours. 

What do you bring to the table?

We are hiring for a mindset, not a background. 
You may be studying product design, interaction design, UX/UI design, service design, philosophy, creative technology, computer science, or something else entirely. Two of our AI leads came from philosophy — so the right profile is not always the obvious one on paper. 

What matters is how you think, how fast you learn, what you make, and whether you are excited by the combination of design, AI, prototyping, and product thinking. You should care about beautiful, useful interfaces — but also be curious about what happens behind them. 

You should however have: 

• Solid UX and UI design fundamentals and strong Figma skills — auto-layout should be a close friend.
• Strong visual taste and attention to detail.
• Ability to think in user journeys, not only individual screens.
• Interest in AI products, assistants, copilots, agents, and new forms of human-AI interaction.
• Experience or strong interest in using vibe coding / AI-assisted development tools to turn designs into working prototypes.
• Ability to work with ambiguity and combine creativity with execution.
• A portfolio or examples of digital product design work that shows how you think. 

What is also nice to have in this role: 

• Experience designing AI-related features, conversational interfaces, copilots, or agentic workflows.
• Basic understanding of front-end development concepts.
• Experience creating interactive or coded prototypes.
• Interest in CRM and marketing-specific experiences such as customer journeys, personalisation, or marketing automation.
• Experience working with design systems.
• Interest in how digital experiences can connect with physical environments.

VML MAP’s Agentic AI Lab helps some of the world’s largest brands turn the AI shift into tangible tools, applications, agents, demos, and prototypes.

We are now on the look out for a student assistant to join the Lab as our front-end profile for AI-powered experiences. 

This is a hands-on role at the intersection of product design, AI, rapid prototyping, and interface craft. You will turn ideas, Figma designs, and early concepts into working digital experiences that feel polished, responsive, and demo-ready.
This is not about writing code from a perfectly defined ticket, but about working in a fast, exploratory environment where ideas move quickly from concept to working prototype.

We are looking for someone who enjoys figuring things out, cares about the final experience, and knows how to use AI-assisted development tools without losing control of the craft.
Is this you? Then keep reading!

What will your day look like?

You will build front-end experiences for user-facing AI solutions across industries including automotive, retail, financial services, and enterprise tools. The work may involve digital products, mobile-like experiences, web apps, internal tools, live demos, and physical-digital journeys.
Your role will be to make ideas work in practice — from how the interface behaves, to how data moves through the experience, to how we connect the front-end to an AI service.

The work is exploratory: sometimes you will receive a clear Figma design, other times a rough idea or half-working prototype that needs to be shaped technically.

You will also:

• Build front-end prototypes, apps, and demo experiences for AI product concepts.
• Translate Figma designs into polished, responsive interfaces with clean, reusable components.
• Work with APIs, mock data, and back-end integrations to connect experiences to AI services and agents.
• Use vibe coding and AI-assisted development tools to accelerate development while maintaining quality.
• Debug and refine prototypes until they are stable enough for client demos and product handover.

Who are you going to work with?

You will work closely with the AI Lead, and collaborate closely with product designers, AI consultants, AI engineers, and other developers on building the front-end of AI experiences: from prototype, to demo, to product-ready interface 

Along the way, you will learn about the back-end side of AI products, how agents are built, and how user-facing experiences connect to the systems behind them. 

What do you bring to the table?

We are hiring for a mindset, not a background.
You may be studying computer science, software engineering, interaction design, creative technology, philosophy, or something else entirely. Two of our AI leads came from philosophy — so the right profile is not always the obvious one on paper. 

You should however be strong in front-end development, but also interested in the product and system side of what you build — someone who asks not only “does it work?” but also “does it feel good?” and “how is it powered behind the scenes?” 

You should also have: 

• Strong front-end skills with HTML, CSS, JavaScript (preferably TypeScript), and frameworks such as React, Next.js, or Vue.
• Ability to work from Figma designs and translate them into polished interfaces.
• A good eye for interface quality, spacing, layout, and interaction details.
• Experience or strong interest in vibe coding / AI-assisted development tools (ideally Claude Code or Codex).
• Comfort working with APIs and basic front-end/back-end connections — or strong curiosity to learn.
• A mindset that combines speed with quality.
• Examples of previous front-end work, prototypes, or side projects. 

Nice to have: 

• Experience deploying prototypes or AI-powered product experiences.
• Experience connecting products to AI APIs, LLMs, agents, or automation workflows.
• Basic understanding of back-end development, databases, serverless functions, or agent frameworks such as ADK.
• Experience with Tailwind CSS, component libraries, or design systems.
• Interest in product design, UX, AI-native interfaces, and physical-digital experiences.
