AI Technical Specialist

About Worldside Worldside helps sports organisations and sports brands understand where AI can add value across their entire organisation, put it into practice with specialist partners, and sell their products into global markets where needed. Localised websites support that work; they are not our lead offer. The role Join our AI gurus as a hands-on technical specialist. You will connect strategic advice with practical delivery: understand how teams work, evaluate suitable AI tools, build and test integrations, and help people adopt solutions with clear human oversight. This is broader than marketing: projects may span finance, administration, people, customer service and operations, as well as commercial activity. What you will do • Work with sports organisations and sports brands to map existing systems, processes and data, identifying useful and feasible AI opportunities. • Translate opportunities into scoped technical plans with clear success measures, dependencies and safeguards. • Build and evaluate prototypes using language models, retrieval-augmented generation, workflow automation and APIs where appropriate. • Integrate suitable solutions with existing tools, working alongside platform providers and specialist delivery partners rather than replacing them by default. • Assess model quality, reliability, cost and limitations, and design human review into consequential decisions. • Apply appropriate data protection, access controls and security practices; document how information is used and handled. • Support international selling projects where AI and integrations can help, including multilingual customer support, product information and localised commerce experiences. • Help colleagues and client teams understand, use and maintain the solutions, with clear documentation and practical training. • Monitor outcomes after implementation and recommend improvements against agreed baselines. What you will bring • Practical experience building and delivering AI-enabled software, integrations or automation beyond demonstrations. • Strong programming skills in Python, TypeScript or a comparable language, and confidence working with APIs and data. • An understanding of language models, retrieval, evaluation and the trade-offs between different approaches. • Good judgement on privacy, security, reliability and when not to use AI. • The ability to explain technical choices clearly to non-technical teams. • A collaborative approach to working with internal teams and external specialists. • Curiosity about how sports organisations and sports brands operate across different functions and markets. Useful, but not essential • Experience with commerce platforms such as Shopify, CRM systems or customer service tools. • Experience with multilingual workflows, international commerce or sports-related projects. • Experience supporting adoption and maintaining systems after launch.
