AI Operations Lead

WHO WE ARE

DELVE Deeper is a global performance media agency where data, technology, and marketing intersect.

We help brands like UNICEF, Virgin Voyages, and Orange grow by using data, analytics, and automation to drive measurable results. Our teams work at the intersection of media, data science, and technology in a fast-paced, international environment.

ROLE OVERVIEW

You are accountable for making AI work across the agency — in practice, at scale, producing results people can feel. The foundation of this role is a rigorous understanding of how the business actually operates: where time goes, how decisions get made, where information stalls, and which processes are ripe for change.

This role has two connected areas of ownership. The first is fast, iterative workflow automation: mapping processes analytically, identifying where the agency is losing time, and getting working solutions built and adopted quickly via n8n. The second is broader AI enablement: identifying where the right AI tool — applied to the right operational problem — can change how the agency stores knowledge, surfaces information, or supports decisions.

Both areas start from the same place: a clear-eyed read of how work actually flows. This person brings business operations experience and process mining skills to that analysis — the ability to observe a workflow, decompose it analytically, identify where value is being lost, and design the right intervention. AI is the toolkit. Business acumen is what determines where to point it.

Speed and judgement are the twin engines of the role. On the automation side, the backlog moves fast and working solutions reach people fast. On the broader AI enablement side, you prototype and test before recommending — enough hands-on work to make confident calls about what actually belongs where. Across both, you are accountable for outcomes. Deployed tools that go unused are not counted as wins.

WHAT GOOD JUDGEMENT LOOKS LIKE

A significant part of this role is making good technology decisions quickly. The agency will surface problems. Your job is to evaluate the solution space, prototype where needed, and recommend the right approach. These examples illustrate the kind of thinking the role requires.

A process that looks simple but is not

A team reports spending several hours a week on a reporting workflow. Before recommending an automation, you map the full process: every step, every decision point, every handoff. You discover that two of the six steps are genuinely repeatable, two require contextual judgement, and two exist only because of a structural gap in how information is shared upstream. The automation brief covers the two repeatable steps. The structural gap becomes a separate recommendation. The judgement steps are left to the person doing them. That kind of decomposition — separating what can be systematised from what genuinely requires a human — is the core analytical skill this role demands.

Call transcripts

The agency generates call transcripts regularly. The question is how to store them, search them, and put them to use. You prototype the leading options — NotebookLM as a knowledge base, a structured folder system with AI retrieval, a Claude Project with uploaded sources, direct database storage with tagging — and you form a view based on how each performs against real agency content. You recommend the approach that is most useful for the people who need to access the information, and you own the implementation of that recommendation.

Client knowledge and working group access

Client-related information is scattered across emails, documents, and people's heads. The question is how to centralise it in a way the working group can actually use. You evaluate whether a shared workspace, a structured Notion setup, a Claude Project, or an AI-enhanced document repository best fits how the team works. You test the leading options against real client content before recommending, and you own the rollout.

Automation vs. AI-assisted workflow

A team is spending significant time on a repeatable task. You assess whether this is an n8n automation opportunity, a prompt playbook, a Claude Project workflow, or a combination. You make the call based on the nature of the task, the technical overhead of each approach, and the team's actual working patterns. Speed of the right solution matters more than elegance of the perfect one.

AI FLUENCY REQUIREMENT

This role requires someone with genuine, current fluency across the AI tool landscape — someone who uses these tools daily, has strong opinions about where each one excels, and reaches for the right one instinctively when a new problem surfaces.
