AI Builder

Description

People stuff is hard. We help clients crack it. Humankind is an HR and organisational design consultancy with one clear purpose: to lead humanity at work. We partner with clients to build high-performing, people-centred organisations, and we use AI every day to help our team and clients get better outcomes, faster - always with a human in the loop.

About the role

As our AI Builder, you’ll build practical AI tools our team use every day – not experiments, demos, or shiny tools that sit on a shelf.

You’ll work closely with our EX and Operations Manager to understand the work, teach the team, and track what’s actually making a difference. 

What you'll be doing: ✔ Build practical AI tools for repeatable work across onboarding, finance, reporting, design, and client delivery.

✔ Get close to the work first by shadowing, testing, and learning with the team, so you can build tools people actually use.

✔ Create reusable client-ready tools that give consultants a strong starting point, not one-off hacks that need rebuilding.

✔ Integrate tools into how we already work including Slack, Outlook, Microsoft 365, and our practice management systems.

✔ Support adoption and good guardrails by helping teach the team, keeping our AI and data guidance current, and tracking what’s making a difference.

About you

You’re confident building with AI and keen to keep learning. You’re driven, curious, practical and comfortable figuring things out as you go.

✔ You’re AI-native and hands-on. You know your way around Claude and other leading AI tools, and building workflows and automation already comes naturally.

✔ You’re early in your career.You might be a recent graduate, close to graduating, and have built experience through work, study, volunteering, or a side hustle.

✔ You like solving real business problems. You’re interested in how finance, operations, customer-facing teams, and people-focused work fit together, and how AI can make that work better.

✔ You’re a builder first, and keen to grow as a teacher too. We’ll work with you to help you share what you know and bring others along.
