About the role

1 site trusted by real estate professionals, Realtor.com® has been at the forefront of online real estate for over 25 years, connecting buyers, sellers, and renters with trusted insights and expert guidance to find their perfect home.
If your instinct is to ship a working proof-of-concept on a real brief today rather than present a deck about what's theoretically possible next quarter - this is your role.
AI-assisted brief development that accelerates concepting.

Responsibilities

You design and build the layer that connects every stage of the creative process - so the team makes better decisions faster, whether it's a brand campaign or high-volume paid social production.
Video AI Systems Partner with the Motion Design team to identify where AI creates the greatest opportunity in video storytelling and production.
Design the workflow that lets the team produce AI-assisted video at velocity - lo-fi concept video, short-form paid social variants, campaign cutdowns - without sacrificing creative quality.
You build the system that makes directing them faster, smarter, and more scalable.
Brief, Research & Concepting Build the AI layer that makes strategy and concepting faster and sharper.
AI compresses the time between brief and conviction - you build the compression.
Asset Production Systems Partner with designers to build the AI infrastructure that scales their work - image generation pipelines, Figma template automation, variant production, format scaling.
You build that system, maintain it, and evolve it as tools improve.
Tool Selection & Standardization Evaluate, select, and standardize the team's AI tool stack across every discipline - research, concepting, copy, image generation, video, design automation, workflow integration.
Own the contracts, onboarding, and deprecation of tools that don't perform.

Requirements

You know how to make AI feel like a superpower, not a threat.
You have the patience and credibility to bring people along - and you understand that a designer's relationship to AI is about identity and commitment to craft.
You know what makes a short-form video work in the first two seconds and you've built a system that produces variants at scale.
You've used them on real work and you know which ones are worth recommending to a team.
You can tell the difference between AI output that's good enough and AI output that's good.
Builder first. You've shipped AI creative systems that teams actually run daily. When you see a problem your first move is to build something, not document something. You've permanently transformed at least one team's workflow and have the output to prove it.
Creative team empathy. You've introduced AI to creative teams who were skeptical or hesitant. You know how to make AI feel like a superpower, not a threat. You have the patience and credibility to bring people along - and you understand that a designer's relationship to AI is about identity and commitment to craft.
Deep video AI fluency. Not production ownership - systems fluency. You know the tools, you've evaluated them rigorously, and you've designed workflows that let motion designers and video editors move faster without giving up creative control. You know what makes a short-form video work in the first two seconds and you've built a system that produces variants at scale.
Full tool stack knowledge. Research and synthesis, AI-assisted brief development, concepting and copy, image generation, video production, design automation, workflow integration. You don't need to learn these tools. You've used them on real work and you know which ones are worth recommending to a team.
Systems thinking. You see the brief and the banner as part of the same loop. When you build something that works for one workflow you immediately see how it connects to the next. You design for the whole cycle, not just the layer in front of you.
Creative judgment. You can tell the difference between AI output that's good enough and AI output that's good. You raise the bar, not just the volume. The systems you build produce work worth running - not just work that's fast and cheap to make.
Performance creative literacy. You understand paid social creative requirements - hook structures, format specs, creative testing methodology. You've used performance data to make better creative decisions and you know how to build that feedback into a workflow.
Professional Experience. 12+ years of professional experience, with a background working with AI-powered creative tools in one or more of the following areas for 2+ years: visual design, content generation, web development, or data analysis.
What Success Looks Like:
Every discipline on the team - strategy, design, copy, motion - operating with AI as the default, without having to figure it out themselves
