[Hiring] Creative Technology Director @R/GA Careers Page

Role Description

As a Creative Technology Director, you’ll build agent pipelines, MCP servers, plugins, generative video systems, and voice agents for some of the world’s best-known brands. You’ll bring deep expertise in generative AI, design, and creative strategy to a dynamic agency environment, independently leading multiple projects and creating work that excels in both creative and technical craft while also driving real business goals. This is a hands-on building role — expect at least 75% of your time to be spent in a repo.

• Agency Creative Tech Leadership: Balance storytelling with systems thinking to deliver work that is effective and scalable. Define the vision for AI-powered experiences across multiple projects.
• AI Architecture: Strong point of view on AI engineering architecture. Confident in deciding tool calls vs. skills vs. subagents; when a retrieval beats a bigger prompt; and how to design an eval before building a feature.
• Rapid Prototyping + Experimentation: Track what’s new in generative AI and quickly build working prototypes to pressure test strategies and/or get buy-in from clients.
• Client + Cross-Functional Partnership: Confidently present technical possibilities and working software to executive-level clients in an understandable way.
• Bias Towards Creative Excellence: Build machinery that is accountable to and consistent with real design systems, brand components, and retrieved facts.
• Performance-Driven Optimization: Review the effectiveness of tools and campaigns and optimize for performance using AI-derived insights and qualitative feedback.

Qualifications

• 6+ years in design, strategy, product management, or related tech-forward environment.
• Proven ability to lead accounts or initiatives across multiple clients and verticals.
• Experience working with Fortune 500 brands or large-scale platforms is a plus.
• Hands-on experience with production-ready tech stacks (Python, TypeScript, agent SDKs, MCP, GCP, etc).
• Comfortable shaping AI-integrated workflows with a track record of using them to enhance or rethink processes.
• Strong instincts for how to systematize creativity without diminishing it.
• Experience building scalable frameworks, modular systems, and process design.
• Natural team leader with a collaborative spirit.
• Equally confident providing oversight to junior team members, influencing cross-functional teams, and presenting to C-suite stakeholders.
• Ability to balance brand, audience, and business objectives with the opportunities and limits of emerging technology.
• A rich portfolio of past projects (repos, deployed demos, working agentic systems) showcasing strong tech and creative skills.
