About the Role

As a Technical Director, you’ll collaborate with cross-functional teams to define processes and to deliver high-quality results through well-managed, on time and on budget projects. This is a leadership role combining technical strategy, hands-on technical expertise, and execution. You will be responsible for discovery, shaping solutions, prototyping, guiding creative technologists and developers, owning the technical delivery and scale automation frameworks for our global clients.

We are looking for a Technical Director to lead the technical direction, planning, and delivery of AI-driven production work across key client accounts. This role sits within our Transformation and Applied AI team, focused on building and scaling AI pipelines for image, video, text and content generation. Technical Director acts as the technical counterpart to Solution Leads (Producers) and Creative Directors, ensuring what is sold can be realistically delivered from a technical perspective. You will define how things get built, estimate technical efforts, and assemble the right technical team to execute.

This role is focused on AI pipelines for image and video generation at scale, workflow automation and content production systems, model usage, fine-tuning, and dataset considerations, connecting multiple tools, APIs, and systems into production-ready pipelines.

Responsibilities

• Own technical delivery end-to-end: from early estimations through production/development and final delivery.
• Define technical approaches for AI-driven projects (image/video generation, automation pipelines, model training/fine-tuning).
• Translate ambiguous briefs into clear technical plans, asking the right questions around scope, assets, datasets, outputs, and constraints.

Partner closely with Solution Leads and Creative Directors to align scope, timelines, and feasibility

• Know how to assemble the right project team with required technical skills (e.g. Creative Technologists, ML engineers, backend developers).
• Lead and guide technical teams during production, ensuring quality, avoiding scope creeps, and focus on the right technical direction.
• Validate feasibility and manage trade-offs between budget, timeline, and technical complexity.
• Identify risks early and communicate constraints, assumptions, and dependencies clearly.
• Review and guide implementation of AI pipelines (e.g. ComfyUI workflows, API integrations, automation systems).
• Ensure technical quality and QA alignment, working with QA teams where needed.
• Be client-facing when required, presenting technical approaches, documentation, and progress.

About You

The essentials

• 1+ years in a Technical Director, Technical Lead, or similar production-focused leadership role.
• 5+ years of hands on experience in one of the focus areas: Creative Technology, Software Development, 3D/VFX, Real-time Engines.
• Solid understanding of machine learning fundamentals - model architectures, training vs. inference, and fine-tuning methods, and apply them in real-world generative AI pipelines.
• Strong experience in scoping, estimating, and delivering technical projects.
• Hands-on experience building or working with AI / generative pipelines, beyond text to image.
• Experience integrating APIs, automation workflows, or multi-step pipelines.
• Ability to translate high-level ideas into concrete technical plans.
• Strong understanding of production realities: timelines, budgets, resourcing.
• Comfortable leading technical teams and making architectural decisions.
• Ability to operate in ambiguous environments and bring structure quickly.
• Strong communication skills and ability to push back on unrealistic expectations.

Not a must, but a plus

• Academic or research background in Machine Learning, Computer Science, or related fields.
• Certifications in Machine Learning, Deep Learning, or Engineering.
• Experience leading cross-functional technical teams (e.g. software engineers, ML engineers, creative technologists, AI artists).
• Background in creative technology, real-time systems, or virtual production pipelines.
• Experience building or supporting scaled content generation systems or working with CPG / enterprise clients.
• Experience in marketing campaign execution (e.g. media, email) and understanding of basic performance metrics.

The Vice President, Cultural & Creative Media Innovation is a senior individual contributor who serves as the agency's foremost authority on culture, audience behavior, and media innovation. This role exists primarily to fuel new business growth (approximately 80% of responsibilities) by translating real-time cultural intelligence and audience research into bold, media-first ideas that win pitches and open doors. A smaller but meaningful portion of the role (approximately 20%) supports high-profile existing client engagements at critical moments. Reporting directly to agency leadership, this position operates with a high degree of autonomy and is expected to move quickly — identifying a culturally relevant moment one day and having a client-ready concept the following day.

Essential Duties and Responsibilities (Other duties may be assigned)

• Cultural Intelligence & Real-Time Trend Monitoring. Monitor culture, media, social platforms, sports, entertainment, and current events on a continuous basis to identify timely, relevant moments that can be activated on behalf of clients or new business prospects. Operate with a quick-turn mentality — when a cultural moment emerges (e.g., an athlete's viral on-air comment, a breakout meme, an unexpected brand opportunity), rapidly assess its relevance and develop an actionable idea before the moment passes. Attend major cultural events, industry conferences (including South X Southwest and similar), and media and entertainment activations annually to stay on the leading edge of emerging trends, platforms, and consumer behaviors.
• Audience Research & Insight Development. Conduct and synthesize primary and secondary research to build nuanced audience portraits — going beyond demographics to map media habits, cultural touchpoints, platform behavior, and moments of peak receptivity. Identify non-obvious audience insights that form the strategic backbone of new business pitches and client recommendations. Develop reusable research frameworks and proprietary points of view that sharpen the agency's strategic differentiation.
• Media Innovation Ideation. Translate audience intelligence and cultural insight into big, executional media ideas — concepts that are surprising, channel-native, and grounded in research. Develop ideas that leverage non-traditional media opportunities: talent and cultural figure integrations, IP and brand partnerships, experiential media, platform-specific formats, and tentpole cultural moments. Ensure that media channel recommendations and creative concepts are directly informed by data — articulating a clear logical bridge from insight to idea.
• New Business Pitch Leadership. Serve as a primary strategic voice in new business pitches, owning the cultural, audience, and innovation narrative within agency presentations. Write compelling briefs and strategic frameworks that elevate work from executional planning to idea-driven platforms — giving creative and media teams a clear, inspiring foundation to build from. Collaborate with agency leadership and cross-functional pitch teams to shape a compelling, differentiated strategic story from brief to final presentation. Identify prospective client opportunities and develop proactive, speculative concepts that demonstrate the agency's cultural and media capabilities. Serve as a skilled cross-collaborator across agency partners within the Meet The People family — proactively engaging sister agencies and practice areas to inform and elevate holistic campaign strategies, including creative, brand positioning, experiential, and any other element of a fully integrated advertising campaign.
• High-Profile Client Engagement. Partner with account and integrated media teams to bring senior strategic perspective to select existing client relationships at pivotal moments — annual planning, competitive reviews, campaign launches, and upsell opportunities. Develop tailored cultural intelligence and audience insight reports for high-value clients seeking to deepen their connection to a specific audience or cultural moment.
• Agency Thought Leadership & Strategic Positioning. Build and represent the agency's cultural and strategic point of view externally — through speaking engagements, published content, conference presence, and industry networking. Introduce new thinking around emerging platforms, creators, content formats, and data signals — challenging briefs and pushing teams toward more differentiated, idea-led solutions. Contribute to the agency's positioning as a culturally-intelligent, insight-driven media partner capable of moving at the speed of culture.
  
  

What Success Looks Like

• New business presentations are distinctive, insight-driven, and idea-led — with a clear through-line from audience truth to media concept.
• Internal teams and agency partners consistently seek this role out as a strategic thought partner, not just a resource.
• Clients recognize and value the agency's cultural intelligence as a differentiator in the relationship.
• Cultural moments are identified and converted into actionable client concepts quickly — before the window closes.
• Campaigns and concepts originating from this role resonate in culture and contribute to measurable business impact.

About You

You are a curious investigator who views media data as a story waiting to be told. You aren’t satisfied with "what" because your primary interest is finding "why." As a creative and critical thinker, you thrive on "Aha!" moments and possess a natural ability to connect dots that others might miss.

You view technical tools (Tableau, DOMO, Power BI, Looker, etc.) as a vehicle for discovery. While technical proficiency is the baseline, your true impact comes from using that expertise to drive meaningful value for clients. You are familiar with methods like incrementality testing or difference-in-differences and view them as lenses used to uncover truth.

The Objective

This role is centered on delivering high-impact clarity through media data. You will design and deliver monthly reports, quarterly business reviews (QBRs), and ad-hoc deep dives that contextualize media KPIs and connect execution to results. Your consistent, context-rich analysis and recommendations ensure our clients and internal teams are always one step ahead of the curve by moving past simple metrics to focus on true business outcomes. 

Essential Duties and Responsibilities (Other duties may be assigned)

• Narrative Orchestration: Lead the creation of monthly reports and QBRs, transforming validated datasets into cohesive business stories that connect media execution to client-side outcomes.
• Investigative Consultant: Actively monitor performance to identify anomalies or trends; use media KPIs as triggers to proactively investigate the "why" and present critical explanations to both internal stakeholders and external clients.
• Strategic Foresight: Convert 'the why' into actionable media optimizations, providing Integrated Planning teams with clear directives on how to pivot strategy based on performance signals.
• Proactive Hypothesis Testing: Beyond standard monitoring, develop hypotheses for performance shifts and partner with the Governance team to surface the specific data cuts required to prove or disprove them.
• Integrated Collaboration: Serve as a core analytical partner for the Integrated Strategy & Planning and Campaign Operations teams, ensuring data insights are fueled by a deep understanding of the media context.
• Operational Feedback Loop: Act as a "User Experience" lead for agency dashboards, providing the Data Governance team with feedback on visualization clarity and data accessibility to ensure tools remain optimized for insight discovery.
• BI Platform Stewardship: Utilize BI software (e.g., Tableau, PowerBI, Looker Studio, DOMO) to design and maintain strategic visualizations that prioritize "insight-first" delivery over simple data display. Leverage the agency’s standardized data frameworks and RADaR-powered environments to ensure all strategic storytelling is built upon a foundation of absolute data integrity.
• Campaign Ecosystem Alignment: Advise on dataflow design to ensure backend data collection is optimized for high-level reporting and strategic visualization.
• Agency-Wide Elevation: Identify opportunities to improve internal measurement rigor, advocating for frameworks that move beyond standard reporting to track true business impact.

Qualifications - To perform this job successfully, an individual must be able to perform each essential duty satisfactorily. The requirements listed below are representative of the knowledge, skill, and/or ability required. Reasonable accommodations may be made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform the essential functions.
