• Maintain Skipper AI's brand voice across everything you contribute to.
• Pursue projects with the expectation of iterating through drafts, incorporating feedback, and refining work through to final approval.
• Track the impact published pieces have on the company.

Idea development and pitching

• Collaborate with Skipper AI leadership and stakeholders to prioritize relevant projects while maintaining a backlog of ideas for later.
• Log and track pitches through the approval process, from idea to in- progress to published.

Internal communication and check-ins

• Write up takeaways and actionable items from meetings and conversations.
• Communicate proactively on scheduling conflicts, blockers, or shifts in priority.

What you will gain

• A real portfolio of published creative work.
• Direct access to leadership and how brand decisions actually get made.
• Hands-on experience turning raw ideas into finished, public-facing content.
• A front-row seat to how a young AI consultancy builds its brand from the ground up.
• Practice pitching and defending your own creative ideas in a real business setting.

Work designation

• This position is fully remote. All core responsibilities are performed independently and do not require a fixed on-site schedule.
• The team looks for opportunities to meet in person when project timelines and individual schedules align. These gatherings are intentional but informal, driven by shared momentum rather than a fixed cadence.

Skipper AI core values

Trust and Transparency. We communicate openly, follow through on commitments, and treat every client and colleague with honesty. Trust is the foundation of every relationship we build.

Humble Hunger. There's more to a failed task than the task itself; every mistake carries a lesson, and progress in anything is still progress forward. It's okay to be wrong, as long as you admit it. What matters is being hungry more often than you are wrong.

Have Hard Conversations. One's success in life is directly correlated to their ability to have hard conversations. Conversations are hard if you are passionate, and two passionate people in a room is a rare thing.

About Skipper AI

In the last year, we have worked with 8 companies, on countless projects, and have shipped things that did and didn't work. Importantly, we have captured the themes behind what leads to success or failure, and have not found a use case since those learnings did not apply. Skipper AI exists to not skip them. We've driven 90%+ adoption not because of the platform we picked, but because we refuse to skip the intentional steps. Intentionality through change has never been more important. The tools are the easy part; it's the steps most firms rush past, the change management in between where AI actually sticks or quietly dies.
