At peopleworth, we support work where people and performance thrive.
As part of our Employer Group, we work with a variety of forward-thinking partners and are excited to share this opportunity that sits within our growing group.
Role Overview
We are looking for an experienced, AI-first Digital Marketing Industry Subject Matter Expert who combines deep digital marketing expertise with substantial practical experience using generative AI and emerging technologies in modern marketing workflows.
This is a remote contract role covering approximately 30 working days between September 2026 and May 2027. The role will contribute practitioner expertise to the enhancement of an established professional digital marketing learning programme. The focus is on ensuring that applied activities, worked examples, assessments and supporting materials reflect how effective digital marketers operate in an environment where AI is increasingly embedded across research, strategy, content, campaign execution, optimisation, analysis and decision-making.
The successful candidate will bring a critical practitioner perspective to both digital marketing and AI. This includes understanding where AI can improve marketing performance and productivity, where human judgement remains essential, and how experienced marketers evaluate, challenge, refine and contextualise AI-generated outputs.
Requirements
- Demonstrated current, hands-on experience applying generative AI and emerging technologies within professional digital marketing workflows
- Strong understanding of how AI is changing digital marketing strategy, research, content development, campaign execution, optimisation, analytics and professional decision-making
- Demonstrated ability to critically evaluate AI-generated marketing outputs and apply professional judgement to challenge, refine, contextualise and improve them
- Substantial current professional experience across digital marketing strategy, channels, campaign development, execution, optimisation and measurement
- Deep digital marketing subject matter expertise with the professional credibility to provide authoritative practitioner guidance on contemporary practice
- Strong understanding of customer journeys, campaign planning, channel selection, content, performance measurement, experimentation, optimisation and commercial decision-making
- Demonstrated ability to distinguish strong professional work from work that is merely technically competent and explain that distinction clearly to non-specialists
- Ability to review existing materials for accuracy, credibility, relevance, consistency and alignment with current professional practice
- Strong written communication skills and the ability to translate complex professional judgement into concise, practical and usable guidance
- Confidence collaborating with learning designers, academic contributors, senior stakeholders and other subject matter specialists
