Join a team that values speed to market and direct customer impact, where your contributions will be visible to users within days or weeks. Are you ready to be at the forefront of AI-driven creative innovation? We are seeking a visionary Creative Technologist with a passion for AI-generated media to design and tune the systems that will bring entertainment recommendations to life. This is a groundbreaking, short-term project where you’ll build the entire pipeline for AI-generated short-form videos, transforming simple content suggestions into dynamic, character-driven narratives. There’s no established playbook for this yet – you’ll be writing it! Your work will directly shape the first interface customers see, making a tangible impact on how users discover and engage with content. If you thrive on solving novel challenges and building pioneering systems, this is your opportunity to leave an indelible mark on the future of media. **Responsibilities:** * **Character Design:** Precisely design virtual characters, defining their appearance, dialogue style, and interaction patterns to ensure consistent recreation by AI video models. * **Creative Brief Development:** Craft detailed creative briefs that guide AI screenwriter personas, specifying content titles, character assignments, narrative structure, timing, and adherence rules. * **AI Persona Refinement:** Build and continuously refine AI personas, including the screenwriter persona for script generation and the production persona for video prompt creation, focusing on system design rather than direct content creation. * **Output Review and Diagnosis:** Critically review AI-generated scripts and videos, identifying issues such as timing discrepancies, tone inconsistencies, character drift, or dead air, and tracing problems back to the persona, brief, or model limitations. * **System Iteration and Improvement:** Implement fixes by updating persona instructions, tightening brief constraints, or adjusting quality rules to prevent recurrence of identified problems, ensuring continuous system enhancement. * **Quality Gate Ownership:** Establish and manage quality gates, including word-per-minute calculations, segment fill rates, content guidelines, and hook evaluation rules, to proactively catch issues before they reach the video model. * **Evaluation Criteria Definition:** Define comprehensive scoring rubrics for an AI evaluator, assessing dialogue accuracy, character consistency, audio quality, and pacing to ensure high-quality generated videos, and adjust rubrics as needed. **Qualifications:** **Must-Have:** * Experience writing for spoken dialogue, such as screenwriting, podcast scripts, or voice-over, where words are intended for auditory consumption. * Familiarity with generative AI models, including large language models (LLMs) for script generation and video/image models for visual output, understanding their capabilities, limitations, and prompt structure impact. * Proven prompt engineering experience, demonstrating the ability to iterate on instructions to achieve consistent, high-quality results from AI systems and diagnose output failures. * Exceptional ability to articulate specific reasons why a generated video is suboptimal, moving beyond general observations to precise technical and creative feedback (e.g., “character appearance drifted from segment 2 to 3”). * Strong systems thinking capabilities, understanding how changes within one part of a creative pipeline (e.g., character file) impact subsequent stages (e.g., screenwriter persona, script, video prompt, final video). * Comfort working with structured data formats, including JSON, markdown templates, and timing calculations, as creative work is integrated into automated pipelines. * Working familiarity with video production concepts such as framing, camera language, lighting, and pacing, sufficient to provide effective direction for a video model. * Self-directed and proactive, capable of independently monitoring output, identifying problems, implementing system fixes, and re-running processes. **Nice-to-Have:** * Experience with character design for visual media, including illustration, animation, or character-driven content. * Background in content recommendation, streaming services, or the entertainment industry. * Familiarity with text-to-speech (TTS) systems and how script structure influences synthesized voice quality. * Experience building or managing creative toolchains, including templates, style guides, and quality checklists, to scale output.

The Opportunity H&L is entering its next phase of growth. As a well-established hospitality technology provider with a strong customer base and a respected product suite, we have a significant opportunity to modernize how we operate and compete, and AI is at the center of that ambition. We are seeking a senior, hands-on product and AI leader to own both the evolution of our product platform and the practical integration of AI across the business. This is not a research or advisory role. It is a dual mandate: build and ship products that customers value and pay for, and deploy AI in ways that make H&L measurably faster, leaner, and more competitive. The Head of Product & AI Innovation Lead will work directly with the Managing Director and the leadership team to drive product strategy, validate and launch AI-powered features, redesign internal workflows, and deliver tangible business outcomes.

Customer Engagement & Commercial Validation •       Engage directly with hospitality customers to understand operational challenges and validate product assumptions •       Measure and report on adoption, satisfaction, and commercial impact of new features •       Support pricing and packaging strategies for product offerings in partnership with Sales and the Managing Director 4.

Internal AI Transformation •       Audit business functions for high-value automation opportunities and prioritize by impact, feasibility, and learning velocity •       Build and deploy working AI agents and automated workflows that eliminate repetitive manual work. Not plans or recommendations, but live solutions. •       Build AI capability across teams through hands-on enablement •       Define clear success metrics for every internal AI initiative across the business; report measurable outcomes 6. Cross-Functional AI Leadership & Organizational Alignment •       Act as the bridge between executive direction and ground-level product and engineering execution •       Collaborate closely with all functions to maintain alignment on product direction and delivery commitments •       Align teams around clearly defined AI business outcomes; influence through credibility, evidence, and shipped results rather than hierarchy •       Communicate product and AI strategy clearly and regularly to all stakeholders •       Represent H&L externally in discussions relating to product capability and AI innovation 7.

This role builds, ships, and measures. •       Not a handoff-based product manager. Requirements do not get thrown over the fence to engineering •       Not a requirements writer detached from execution. You move from problem understanding to working solution •       Not an AI theorist or strategist disconnected from commercial impact. Every initiative must demonstrate measurable value •       This is a business transformation role with full commercial accountability.

AI has changed what is possible: in how software is built, what it can do for end users, and how businesses like H&L can operate. The role offers: •       Direct access to and support from the Managing Director and leadership team •       Real organizational scope: both product and internal transformation sit within this mandate •       A global customer base and a platform with decades of domain depth to build on •       A small, senior team where your decisions have outsized impact •       Competitive compensation and the opportunity to shape how AI is embedded across an entire operating model
