We are building large scale, enterprise grade solutions and serving these innovations to our clients and WPP agency partners. As a member of our team, you will work alongside world-class talent in an environment that not only fosters innovation but also personal growth.

You will be responsible for shaping how our AI models understand and interpret complex creative content. Your work will bridge the gap between raw AI capabilities and the delivery of accurate, reliable, and valuable insights for our FTSE 100 clients. You will be at the forefront of applied AI, ensuring our products are not just powerful, but also precise and trustworthy.

YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES
