  • Identify and prioritize AI-driven use cases across content generation, real-time interactivity, spatial computing, and audience personalization.
  • Oversee AI infrastructure deployment, covering generative media, real-time rendering, NLP, and computer vision.
  • Collaborate with creative, technical, and production teams to integrate AI solutions that enhance storytelling and audience engagement.
  • Build and manage partnerships with AI vendors, research institutions, content studios, and regulators.
  • Ensure compliance with ethical AI principles, data privacy laws, and cultural sensitivities.
  • Stay ahead of emerging technologies and drive adoption of new innovations across the project.

Background & Experience

  • 7+ years of leadership experience in AI, with proven success in delivering solutions for creative, immersive, or experience-driven environments.
  • Strong expertise in AI infrastructure, model lifecycle management, and deployment across cloud/edge environments.
  • Demonstrated ability to lead cross-functional teams spanning R&D, creative, and technical domains.
  • Experience collaborating with creative studios, technology vendors, and research institutions.
  • Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to translate technical concepts into business value.
  • Familiarity with compliance standards around ethical AI, data privacy, and content safety.

Preferred Experience Includes:

  • Hands-on work in immersive or interactive settings such as theme parks, large-scale exhibitions, or gaming/XR platforms.
  • Knowledge of real-time engines (Unreal, Unity) and integration of AI for live systems or dynamic environments.
  • Experience with sensory systems (vision, audio, biometrics) to enhance AI responsiveness.
  • Background in establishing or managing AI R&D/prototyping labs.

Why Apply?

This role offers the chance to be at the forefront of AI-driven innovation in immersive experiences, working on one of the world's most ambitious cultural and entertainment developments.
