We are looking for a Director, AI Transformation to join our growing AI consulting practice. AI Engagement Managers are forward-deployed, hands-on consultants who work with our AI technology partners to deliver consultative services that maximize value realization from Generative AI investments. Embedded within our enterprise clients, they drive seamless execution of AI transformation initiatives, ensuring clients achieve measurable business outcomes through workflow automation and content supply chain innovation.
Working directly with forward-deployed engineers and client teams, AI Engagement Managers own tactical delivery coordination—from scrum ceremonies and documentation to enablement rollouts and adoption support. Their expertise in agile methodologies, content operations, and AI-enabled workflows ensure our technology partnerships deliver exceptional client value and accelerate Code and Theory's leadership in applied AI transformation.
WHAT YOU’LL DO
- Anticipate the evolution of the GenAI-powered Content Supply Chain; design and prototype innovative workflows that leverage AI agents and automated orchestration to solve for scale where human-only resources cannot
- Move beyond technical implementation to own product and business outcomes, anchoring all engagements in a value-realization framework with clear, accountable KPIs and ROI narratives for C-suite stakeholders
- Partner with executive-level creative operations and brand leaders to identify high-impact opportunities for AI integration, re-architecting end-to-end workflows from ideation to automated distribution
- Lead an "AI-first" experimentation mindset, spinning up minimum-viable proofs of concept (POCs) in days and iterating rapidly to prove the "art of the possible" to enterprise clients
- Lead high-performing "Engagement Pods"—comprised of AI engineers, architects, and strategists—to deliver complex digital transformations within an Agile framework
- Design and facilitate strategic workshops and enablement programs that drive organizational change, ensuring high adoption rates of Generative AI solutions across global enterprise teams
- Design scalable frameworks that integrate Adobe’s GenAI technologies (Firefly Services, GenStudio) and third-party models into existing client technology ecosystems (DAM, CMS, Workfront)
- Oversee the "last mile" of implementation, ensuring AI models and APIs are translated into usable, integrated systems that meet rigorous brand compliance and quality standards
- Manage the operational health of accounts, utilizing tools like Jira and Workfront to maintain a transparent use-case backlog, risk mitigation strategies, and sprint adherence
- Synthesize technical milestones and adoption metrics into executive-level dashboards and narratives that maintain momentum for long-term GenAI transformation efforts
- Significant experience in business consulting, digital strategy, or agile software development, with a proven track record of applying AI and automation to complex enterprise workflows (Content Supply Chain, Marketing Ops) tied to measurable KPIs
- Deep expertise in the Adobe ecosystem (Creative Cloud, Firefly Services, GenStudio) and modern marketing technologies (DAM, CMS, CDP), with a focus on workflow automation, orchestration, and "vibecoding"
- A hands-on builder’s mindset with a portfolio demonstrating rapid prototyping, experimentation, or node-based workflow building (e.g., n8n, Comfy, Cursor, v0, Lovable, Claude Code)
- Exceptional change leadership and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to navigate complex organizational dynamics and drive consensus among diverse enterprise teams and implementation partners
- Commanding knowledge of Agile Scrum methodologies and collaborative tools (Jira, Miro, Confluence)
- Ability and willingness to travel within the US (10–20%)

What We Do
Code and Theory is a strategically driven, digital-first creative agency that lives at the intersection of creativity and technology. We solve consumer and business problems across the entire customer journey that flex to meet the ever-changing needs of consumer expectations. We put the user, their behaviors and needs, at the center of everything we do — from our proprietary research methodologies, to product development processes, to how we create brand, channel and messaging strategies. Our goal is simple: to solve our clients business problems. We bring big ideas to life by looking holistically at brand ecosystems where digital plays a prominent role in driving the consumer from first-touch through to conversion to relationship deepening over time. We identify gaps in the consumer journey and opportunities in culture that require products, services or communications to fill. We work across categories, ranging as far and wide as health care (Pfizer, Sanofi, Reach MD, Bioreference Laboratories) to financial services (JP Morgan Chase, Prudential, Morgan Stanley, First Data) to cpg (Mars, Unilever, Johnson & Johnson) to technology companies (Facebook, Xerox, Samsung, Comcast) to culture brands (adidas, H&M). And because our DNA is in publishing — we’ve embedded in over 135 newsrooms in the past decade — we bring unique expertise in understanding how content is created, distributed and optimized, including our work with CNN, NBC News, NBC Sports, and Bustle Digital Group. At Code and Theory, we strive to only be limited by our own ambition and creativity. We believe in pushing our creativity beyond the easy and obvious answers in order to deliver the solutions that are right for our clients, their businesses, and their consumers.
