About the role

  • DEPT is looking for an AI Designer & Creative Technologist to join their creative team, working with UK teams from Hungary.
  • The role involves delivering AI-led creative work on live client projects and building the tools and workflows that make the wider agency faster at it.

Responsibilities

  • Turn creative briefs into AI-generated and AI-enhanced imagery, video and motion across social, paid, digital and campaign work
  • Build and refine prompts and workflows across image and video generation tools, keeping a library of what works per client
  • Finish AI output in Photoshop, After Effects and Premiere Pro so it sits seamlessly alongside photography, design and live action
  • Keep brand and character consistency across generated assets using references, style guides and custom models
  • Produce rapid concepts, styleframes and visual explorations to help teams pitch and iterate faster
  • Build repeatable AI workflows, prompt frameworks and best-practice documentation for the team
  • Spot repetitive, manual steps in how designers work and build tools that remove them: Adobe and Figma scripts and plugins, node-based pipelines, small browser utilities
  • Prototype and maintain internal tools with the people who use them, iterating on real feedback
  • Be a point of knowledge on AI for creative directors and account teams: what's possible, what it costs in time and risk, how to pitch it
  • Own responsible use of AI on your work: client tool guidelines, data handling, IP and likeness, disclosure labelling and provenance metadata

Requirements

  • A portfolio of AI-generated or AI-enhanced work finished to a professional standard, for brands, agencies or personal projects
  • Solid design fundamentals: composition, typography, colour and an eye for what looks right on screen
  • Hands-on experience building work in node-based AI workflows that chain models with editing steps, and the judgement to pick the right model and route for the job
  • Strong Photoshop skills, with working After Effects and/or Premiere Pro to take output through to finish
  • Some ability to build as well as make: scripting or automation used to speed up creative work
  • A problem-solver's instinct for spotting inefficiency in a workflow and fixing it properly
  • Understanding of how social, paid and digital assets are specced and delivered
  • Awareness of the ethical, legal and brand-safety considerations around generative AI in commercial work
  • Fluent English, with confidence explaining your process and presenting to creative directors, account teams and clients
  • A willingness to share what you know and help others get better with these tools

Preferred qualifications

  • Motion, 3D or VFX background
  • Custom model training
  • LLM APIs and agentic tooling
  • Content provenance standards

Benefits

  • Private health insurance and access to a range of healthcare and preventive services
  • Sports & cultural benefits to support your wellbeing and work-life balance
