With strong client relationships and deep industry expertise, we help our clients operate at the speed of life through the unlimited potential of imagination, technology and intelligence.

Role Overview:

We are seeking a Conversation Designer who understands how agentic commerce transforms interactions from static scripts into adaptive, AI-mediated exchanges. This role blends conversational design, experience design, and structured content strategy to craft intelligent dialogue systems that are brand-forward, agent-compatible, and continuously optimized through signals, structure, and feedback loops. You will design AI-native conversational ecosystems that enable brands to show up effectively in environments where intelligent agents shape discovery, guide decision-making, negotiate value, and increasingly act on behalf of customers.

Job Responsibilities

Conversational Vision for Agentic Journeys:

  • Defining how brands behave across adaptive, agent-mediated interactions, including:
    • Mapping dynamic conversational journeys that evolve based on agent inference, contextual signals, and user intent.
    • Designing structured dialogue architectures that support both human-agent and agent-to-agent interactions.
    • Ensuring conversational systems include decision support frameworks that intelligent agents can parse, reference, and optimize.
    • Translating brand voice into machine-operable behavioral guidelines for AI-driven exchanges.

Dialogue Architecture and Interaction Design:

  • Shaping how customers and intelligent agents engage through adaptive interfaces, including:
    • Crafting modular conversational flows that balance brand personality with clarity, intent recognition, and agent-friendly structure.
    • Designing slot-filling patterns, prompt scaffolds, fallback states, and escalation paths.
    • Creating reusable conversation components that support personalization and optimization at scale.
    • Designing repair strategies and trust-building mechanisms when AI confidence is low or ambiguity is high.

Structured Content and Intent Modeling for GEO/AEO:

  • Building dialogue systems that are strategically structured for LLM reasoning, retrieval, and generative reinterpretation, including:
    • Developing taxonomies of intents, entities, and conversational variables.
    • Writing modular, semantically tagged content that improves agent comprehension and retrieval accuracy.
    • Designing conversational patterns that surface high-quality signals for GEO/AEO optimization.
    • Collaborating with content strategists and optimization teams to ensure dialogue systems improve findability, answer quality, and agent preference over time.

Optimization-Centered Conversational Strategy:

  • Embedding experimentation and continuous improvement into dialogue systems, including:
    • Partnering with GEO practitioners and data teams to translate model insights into conversational refinements.
    • Designing experiments that test tone, framing, response length, structured prompts, and negotiation patterns.
    • Monitoring interaction performance and identifying opportunities to improve clarity, trust, and conversion outcomes.
    • Ensuring conversational systems evolve responsibly through structured testing and signal analysis.

Trust, Transparency and Ethical Dialogue Design:

  • Designing conversations that build long-term trust in autonomous and semi-autonomous systems, including:
    • Crafting explainability patterns that clarify agent reasoning and decision pathways.
    • Designing consent and confirmation flows for agent-initiated transactions.
    • Avoiding dark patterns and ensuring ethical behavioral design principles guide persuasive interactions.
    • Defining escalation models where human intervention enhances safety and confidence.

Basic Qualifications:

  • 5+ years of experience designing conversational systems for chat, voice, multimodal, or AI-assisted commerce environments; with strong understanding of intent modeling, conversational taxonomies, and structured content systems.

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Bachelors degree in Design, Human-Computer Interaction, Linguistics, Communications, or a related field.
  • Industry experience in Retail and Consumer Goods & Services.
  • Exceptional writing skills with demonstrated ability to translate brand voice into structured dialogue systems.
  • Experience collaborating with product, engineering, and data teams on AI-enabled experiences.
  • Familiarity with Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) and Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) principles.
  • Proficient in developing conversational prototypes, documentation, and training materials.
  • A passion for innovation and a commitment to helping clients adopt AI-driven interaction models responsibly.
