Job description

Join the global leader in responsible marketing activation services

At HH Global, we help the world's most recognized brands turn their growth ideas into measurable impact through responsible marketing activation. We are a global marketing activation partner that connects brands to their customers and delivers sustainable marketing activation at scale. With over 4,000 colleagues across more than 55 countries, you'll join a diverse, high-performing community, empowered to deliver sustainable, innovative solutions for our clients.

Our Client

Our client is a global leader in the tech industry, delivering a globally renowned web browser service. We are partnering with their highly talented and driven marketing team to build an embedded, always-on Scaled Creative Production studio dedicated to elevating Direct Response (DR) marketing performance.

This team is fully focused on pioneering advanced AI toolsets and multi-agent workflows to conceptualize, produce, and adapt high-performing DR creative assets at extraordinary velocity and scale across multiple global markets. By merging cutting-edge generative technology with modular design systems, the studio accelerates multi-market localization, dynamic asset personalization, and cross-channel distribution without compromising brand integrity or visual fidelity.

Role Summary

Operating at the strategic intersection of software engineering, generative AI, and high-velocity asset production, the Creative Systems Architect functions as the principal technical anchor within an embedded, always-on creative production studio. Dedicated to a premier global technology client in the AI space, this role bridges front-end creative tooling with enterprise-level technology frameworks.

Rather than focusing solely on traditional creative execution or passive automation support, the Creative Systems Architect designs, deploys, and continuously optimizes strategic technical infrastructure. The position is pivotal in championing the strategic deployment of the client's proprietary 1P AI capabilities alongside vetted 3P tools. By establishing repeatable systems, technical governance standards, and automated rendering pipelines, the Creative Systems Architect powers high-volume Direct Response (DR) assets and multi-market localization across the globe, driving operational speed, regional expansion, and ROI performance.

Key Responsibilities

Enterprise AI Infrastructure & Strategic Architecture

• Architect, deploy, and govern enterprise-grade AI/ML pipelines, combining the client's proprietary 1P generative AI models with vetted 3P production platforms to automate and optimize the end-to-end creative lifecycle.
• Lead multi-agent engineering setups, prompt library architecture, and automated content generation workflows tailored for studio-wide adoption.
• Define and oversee the enterprise technology architecture for creative systems (including headless CMS integrations, enterprise DCO engines, and DAM/MAM pipelines) to ensure cross-system security, interoperability, and scalability.
• Connect performance telemetry and media data engines to automated creative workflows, enabling programmatic, real-time asset optimization at scale.

High-Volume Asset Execution & Pipeline Automation

• Build, deploy, and govern high-velocity production pipelines designed for Direct Response (DR) digital marketing assets across multi-channel campaign ecosystems.
• Architect modular design systems, dynamic template schemas, and programmatic rendering pipelines to enable rapid asset resizing, dynamic personalization, and multi-language localization across thousands of variants in
• Interface 1P creative platforms directly with performance media channels (e.g., DCO, programmatic display, social media platforms) to accelerate overall asset throughput.

Technical Governance, Quality Assurance & Compliance

• Define, implement, and maintain rigorous technical QA specifications and automated validation testing frameworks for all automated and AI-generated outputs.
• Establish visual fidelity, resolution, brand consistency, and platform specification benchmarks across all digital media formats.
• Enforce strict compliance across all automation pipelines with data privacy standards, IP safety guidelines, brand safety protocols, and enterprise content governance.
• Serve as the principal technical authority across Creative Directors, Software Engineers, and AdTech partners to maintain resilient, platform-compliant production architectures.

System Optimization & Experimental Prototyping

• Stress-test and optimize 1P AI capabilities and frontier features, providing operational feedback to internal technology leads and platform product teams to influence tool roadmaps.
• Actively identify bottlenecks in production environments, building custom scripts, Node/Python tools, or REST/GraphQL API integrations to continuously reduce turnaround times.
• Lead technical prototyping for experimental campaign formats, emerging AI features, interactive digital formats, and novel media technologies (e.g., spatial computing, real-time rendering).

Regional Expansion & Business Impact

• Align architectural and technical choices with broader client business objectives, accelerating market entry and optimizing unit economics across expansion strategies.
• Develop repeatable systems, technical playbooks, and automated workflows that enable the seamless scaling of global campaign frameworks across multi-region markets.
