This role is for someone who likes the practical edge of AI: turning raw context into useful inputs, testing outputs, catching failures, and helping build workflows that get better over time. You will support the systems behind client work, not just prompt a model and hope it behaves.
You will work close to the actual systems: client context, AI workflows, quality checks, delivery notes, and the operating habits that make the work reliable. We are looking for people who are excited by new technology and grounded enough to make it useful.
What you will do
- Prepare source materials, internal context, examples, and workflow inputs for AI-assisted execution
- Run QA passes on briefs, drafts, refreshes, structured outputs, and client-facing deliverables
- Test AI workflows against edge cases, unclear inputs, and real client constraints
- Document repeatable processes so they can become durable systems instead of one-off tricks
- Support research, content operations, and workflow cleanup across client engagements
- Notice where systems break and suggest practical improvements to prompts, schemas, inputs, or review steps
What we are looking for
- Comfort using AI tools for real work, not just experimentation
- Strong editorial judgment and attention to operational detail
- Ability to follow a system carefully, then improve it when the pattern is clear
- Interest in content operations, automation, technical marketing, or agent workflows
- Good instincts around quality, source truth, and when human judgment needs to step in
Nice to have
- Experience with Codex, Claude Code, ChatGPT, AirOps, Zapier, Make, or no-code workflow tools
- Comfort with markdown, lightweight Git workflows, structured docs, or content QA
- Background in SEO, editorial operations, marketing operations, or research-heavy content work
