Reports to:  Creative Director, AI Department:  Creative / Agency Studio
We are looking for an  AI Art Director / Creative Specialist  to create high-quality static visuals, campaign imagery, and video clips for our clients. Reporting directly to the Creative Director (AI), you will collaborate with Art Directors, Copywriters, Studio, Production, and Account teams to handle hands-on AI asset generation.
Above all,  this role requires excellent aesthetic taste, a strong eye for design, and a structured approach to model execution.  You don't just rely on "lucky prompts"—you understand how AI models interpret inputs, how to control them through refined iteration processes, and how to consistently pull the highest-quality outputs out of generative tools.
You will work primarily inside  WPP Open , our enterprise AI hub, while staying active with external AI tools and models to keep our work at the forefront of the industry.
