Collier.Simon is hiring: Ai Artist In Residence in Los Angeles

Overview

AI Ad Artist-in-Residence (Temp-to-Perm) – A residency for AI creators redefining how brands show up in culture.

The Role

We’re seeking an AI Ad Artist-in-Residence, a creator who uses AI as their creative medium to make brands reconsider what’s possible.

In this role, you’ll:

• Build original content that blends human creativity with emerging AI tools — from 8-second trend-driven experiments to longer brand-worthy pieces
• Prototype ideas at speed, exploring the edges of what’s possible with each new platform, workflow, and tool as it launches
• Contribute to the studio’s cultural voice through thought leadership and social content
• Produce work that fuels client campaigns, powers new business opportunities, and explores experimental/spec concepts that push the boundaries of what advertising can be

This is a 3-month paid residency with the opportunity to transition into a full-time role.

What is an AI Ad Artist?

An AI Ad Artist is a new kind of creator:

• Part filmmaker, part technologist, part cultural commentator
• A trend-hunter who knows why everyone is suddenly excited about using Nano Banana for Veo3 this week
• A tastemaker who knows the difference between a flashy loop and a story that moves people
• Already creating spec ads and cultural experiments that make brands feel alive in the moment

You Are

• Deeply immersed in the AI creative ecosystem
• A filmmaker at heart who understands pacing, emotion, and craft
• Fluent in chaining tools: Midjourney → Kling → Runway → Veo3 → whatever drops tomorrow
• Comfortable producing multiple finished pieces weekly — from micro-tests to polished brand-worthy content
• Excited by ambiguity — willing to explore ideas we can’t fully define until we’re making them

Requirements

• A portfolio that shows progression from AI experiments to broadcast-ready creative work
• Technical mastery matched with strong taste and storytelling instincts
• Proven ability to work at pace without sacrificing quality
• Familiarity with social platforms and cultural moments (a following is a plus, not a requirement)

Residency Details

• Commitment: 3-month residency, with opportunity to transition into a full-time role
• Compensation: Paid residency with competitive stipend
• Location: Flexible (remote), with opportunities for in-person collaboration with our LA-based team. Must be available to work PST hours

Why This Matters

This residency is your chance to:

• Collaborate with Fortune 500 brands
• Create work that pushes the boundaries of advertising and culture
• Be at the forefront of a cultural shift where artistry, technology, and brand storytelling collide
• Expand your craft while shaping the future of creative advertising
