For more information, visit WPP.com . The Role We are not looking for a traditional IT Business Analyst. We are looking for a Creative Operations Analyst who understands the nuance of making content. You will be part detective, uncovering exactly how work gets done today (the "As-Is"), and part engineer, defining how it should get done tomorrow (the "Future-Facing" model). You will work specifically on mapping the "Handshakes" between human creativity & production and our new Agentic AI workforce, translating abstract strategies into executable instructions for our solutions design consultants.
Key Responsibilities 1. DISCOVER: Forensic Process Mapping • Evidence-Based Diagnosis: Conduct deep-dive workshops with Producers and Creatives to separate anecdotal pain points from structural causes. You must capture the nuance, the "hidden" steps that aren't written down but are essential to the craft. • Data Gathering: Move beyond opinion. Collect data (asset counts, round-trip cycles, freelance spend) to create a data-backed baseline of the current operation.
• Gap Analysis: Identify the friction. Where are approvals stuck? Where is data being manually re-entered? Where is a task being done that an Agent should do? 2. DESIGN: Agentic Workflow Architecture • AIMO (AI Marketing Operations) Design: Translate high-level operating models into detailed, "Pilot-Ready" process maps. • Defining the "Handshake": Map the specific interaction points between people and AI. You will define the "Trigger" (what starts the process) and the "Action" (what the AI agent does), ensuring seamless integration.
