WHO WE ARE WPP Enterprise Solutions designs, builds, and operates the growth systems that competitive businesses rely on. In a world where Al is reshaping how companies drive growth, we lead clients in business transformation and marketing modernization, connecting strategy directly to execution. Our 12,000 experts in engineering and platforms, commerce, consulting, content transformation, CRM, and CX work within a unified global operating unit across 40+ markets. WPP Enterprise Solutions works alongside best-in-class partners including Adobe, AWS, Braze, Google, Microsoft, Salesforce, and Shopify, as well as innovators in AI, to deliver growth solutions tailored to the needs of our clients’ businesses. We’re hiring an AI Solutions Consultant to work alongside our Director and Senior Consultant on our most important client engagements, contributing to pitches, identifying solutions, prototyping demos, and shaping how agentic AI consulting works at scale inside a global marketing agency. The playbook is being written. We’re looking for someone who wants to help write it. WHAT WILL YOUR DAY LOOK LIKE? In this role, your day balances hands-on prototyping and pitch preparation with serving as the go-to technical authority and strategic bridge across multidisciplinary team pods. Between building proof-of-concepts, you will actively spot new AI opportunities within existing accounts and translate client needs into clear, high-impact briefs for the engineering team. * Pitch contribution - Help shape pitch materials end-to-end alongside senior team members: commercial scope, client narrative, and success criteria. * Opportunity spotting - Notice where agentic AI fits inside current accounts and surface it. No sales target, but you're expected to pay attention and bring ideas forward. * Technical credibility - Be the person colleagues across disciplines come to with a real question and get a useful answer. Have a point of view and defend it when you're right. * Hands-on prototyping - Build proof-of-concepts yourself pre-SOW using Claude Code and whatever the current toolset demands. Hand off to engineering once signed and stay close as the technical context-holder. * Delivery support - Synthesize stakeholder insight, prioritize use cases by business impact, and keep the engineering team building against a clearly understood strategic brief. * Cross-functional navigation - Bring clarity into project pods of consultants, engineers, designers, and strategists. You don't need the org chart to have influence. WHO ARE YOU GOING TO WORK WITH? You will work cross functionally across the business with multiple capabilities and also be apart of the agentic lab; a team built of talented engineers, product owners and consultants. WHAT DO YOU BRING TO THE TABLE? 1–3 years of experience post-graduation. We care more about what you’ve shipped than which logo it shipped under, and we acknowledge that experience can obtained outside of work. * A point of view on agentic AI and how it’s shaping the future of work. * You are curious: you prototype to learn and think, you have built things and are hands on with newest generation of AI tools. * You have the basic toolset in place. You come from either consulting, an in-house transformation team or a high-trajectory start-up role. You are used to high paced environments with multiple stakeholders. * You have strong communication skills in both verbal and written settings. We expect you are comfortable with contributing to the conversation in rooms full of senior people. * You can drive your own deliveries under guidance from senior team members and are eager to learn from both individual contributions and team efforts. * You take pride your professional integrity and challenge in a constructive way. Nice to have * Marketing, CRM, customer experience, Martech, or loyalty domain experience * Experience with Adobe, Salesforce, Braze, or comparable enterprise Martech platforms * Experience with AI engineering via e.g. Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or similar – but we do not expect you to be a software engineer. * Exposure to senior client workshops as participant, note-taker, or facilitator A LEADER IN PERSONALIZED CUSTOMER EXPERIENCES VML MAP is a world-leading Centre of Excellence that helps businesses humanize the relationship between the brand and the customer through hyper personalization at scale, marketing automation and CRM.
