AI Automation Engineer – Marketing & Operations Consulting (m/w/d) in Stuttgart, Hamburg oder Berlin – Hybrid

About This Opportunity

We are representing a confidential marketing consulting organization seeking an AI Automation Engineer to build and operate the AI and automation systems that power both internal operations and client engagements. This is a newly created role with significant strategic impact.

Our client has begun their AI and automation journey and needs someone to accelerate these efforts dramatically. Rather than tool sprawl, they're building integrated systems based on AI and automation for sales and operations. You'll develop AI assistants, automated reporting from advertising platforms and SEO tools, and systems that improve through human-in-the-loop feedback.

The position is hybrid-based in Stuttgart, with occasional travel to Hamburg or Berlin offices and client sites.

Responsibilities

You will build and operate internal AI systems—assistants, agents, and automated workflows—from prototype to production. This includes monitoring, error handling, cost management, and quality assurance. Rapid development doesn't mean disposable code.

You'll connect systems and create context by integrating advertising APIs, SEO tools, CRM platforms, and workspace applications. You'll ensure AI systems work with the right data, as models are only as good as the context they receive.

In client projects, you'll advise on marketing technology stacks: which systems are truly needed, how e-commerce, CRM, and advertising platforms should integrate, and where data feeds and interfaces belong. You'll design client-specific automation and AI use cases and implement them with specialist teams.

You'll conduct client workshops to identify where time and data quality are lost in their processes, translating findings into concrete measures. Successful internal solutions will be developed into consulting offerings.

You'll build tracking and analytics setups with proper consent management, consolidating marketing data from multiple sources into actionable insights. You'll automate regular outputs like self-generating presentations and weekly reports, and interpret data to provide recommendations teams and clients can act on.

You'll automate quality assurance processes for campaign, tracking, and account setups, ensuring issues are caught before clients notice them. Recurring error patterns become permanent monitoring rules.

You'll enable and coach teams continuously, writing playbooks and documentation that non-technical colleagues can understand. You'll recognize which manual tasks are worth automating and which should remain manual.

You'll help decide which AI providers and models to use and where client data may be processed, translating GDPR, EU AI Act, and confidentiality commitments into practical workflows. You'll document systems to remain auditable and transferable.

Where external development is needed, you'll manage developers, service providers, and tool vendors. You'll communicate with client IT departments and technical partners, translating between marketing requirements and technical implementation.

You'll monitor developments in models, agent frameworks, and marketing APIs, evaluating new features objectively to determine what deserves production deployment.

What We're Looking For

Required qualifications:

• Demonstrable experience building automation or AI applications currently in production use. Please share two or three examples
• Proficiency with AI-assisted development while maintaining code quality standards. Comfortable with TypeScript or Python, REST APIs, OAuth, Git, and databases. You should understand stack traces and review generated code before production deployment
• Hands-on experience with LLM APIs: tool use, structured outputs, embeddings, result quality evaluation, and token cost management
• Digital marketing understanding: campaign structures, visibility metrics, attribution complexity
• Web analytics expertise: building consent-compliant tracking setups, consolidating data sources, deriving actionable recommendations beyond dashboard creation
• Experience with automation platforms (n8n, Make, or Zapier) and judgment about when to use them versus custom development
• Comfort presenting technical solutions to clients, including marketing leadership, in accessible terms. Ability to decline requests that don't make business sense
• Strong communication skills: clear, patient explanations without unnecessary jargon
• Self-motivated documentation practices
• Native-level German and solid English for all documentation
• Willingness for occasional client visits and travel to other office locations

Valuable additional experience:

• Advertising platform APIs (Google Ads, Meta Marketing)
• MCP servers or custom agent implementations
• Google Apps Script, Slides API, Sheets API
• SEO tools (Sistrix, Semrush, DataForSEO)
• Analytics stack: GA4, Google Tag Manager, server-side tagging, BigQuery, Looker Studio
• Consent management platforms, CDPs, or marketing automation systems
• Agency background with client project realities
• Familiarity with GDPR, data processing agreements, or IT security

What this role is not: This is not a pure consulting position (you'll build weekly), not a traditional development role (you'll work between specialist teams and clients), and not a prompt engineering job (prompts are tools, not the product).
