JOB PURPOSE

Reporting to the Director, Digital Media, the AI Solutions Lead will act as a multi-disciplined problem-solver and thought partner across departments at Great Minds, helping drive innovation through the application of artificial intelligence and automation in content development and production services. This individual will manage a steady stream of high-priority initiatives in serving in a shared services capacity. The role focuses on delivering practical, scalable tools that directly enhance the operations of Content and Production Services teams. It will not drive cross-functional strategic initiatives, but support and inform them. Key focus areas will include accelerating and automating content review and analysis (e.g., alignment to state standards, DEI audits), enhancing production workflows (e.g., copyediting, QA, art generation), and contributing to the future-state vision for AI deployment in curriculum development. The role also will support rapid-response “now” projects, requiring technical execution and judgment.

RESPONSIBILITIES

• AI Application and Strategy:
• Lead and execute rapid-response projects using AI tools for content compression, summarization, tagging, and generation (e.g., modifying books to meet pacing requirements, converting content to meet accessibility standards).
• Provide thought leadership on the future state of AI strategy at Great Minds, including contribution to Value Stream Mapping workflows.
• Drive internal AI adoption by evaluating tools, prototyping solutions, and translating complex needs into automated workflows.
• Content Analysis and Generation:
• Conduct content audits for DEI compliance, standards alignment, and overall state-by-state standards coverage.
• Generate and evaluate Student Edition and Teacher Edition components such as student assessments, vocabulary lists, and module summaries.
• Implement workflows to map new or legacy content to state standards using AI-assisted tools.
• Production Services Support:
• Collaborate with Production Services and Content teams to improve efficiency in areas like copyediting, QA, art generation, and leveling up or down content.
• Support visual content transformation (e.g., skin tone modifications for art assets, rough draft image creation through generative AI).
• Provide support for vendor avoidance initiatives, such as in-house DEI auditing, content accessibility and assessments, to help reduce external spend.
• Project Management and Prioritization:
• Act as a triage point for inbound AI-related requests from across the organization.
• Prioritize and scope requests based on urgency, impact, and feasibility.
• Track deliverables and communicate progress with stakeholders.
• Collaboration and Capacity Building:
• Partner with internal SMEs, engineers, and designers to scale successful AI solutions across teams.
• Help create reusable assets, templates, or scripts to improve the scalability of AI interventions.
• Contribute to internal documentation and process guides.
• Other Duties as Assigned
