People stuff is hard. We help clients crack it. Humankind is an HR and organisational design consultancy with one clear purpose: to lead humanity at work. We partner with clients to build high-performing, people-centred organisations, and we use AI every day to help our team and clients get better outcomes, faster - always with a human in the loop.
About the role
As our AI Builder, you’ll build practical AI tools our team use every day – not experiments, demos, or shiny tools that sit on a shelf.
You’ll work closely with our EX and Operations Manager to understand the work, teach the team, and track what’s actually making a difference.
What you'll be doing:
✔ Build practical AI tools
for repeatable work across onboarding, finance, reporting, design, and client delivery.
✔ Get close to the work first
by shadowing, testing, and learning with the team, so you can build tools people actually use.
✔ Create reusable client-ready tools
that give consultants a strong starting point, not one-off hacks that need rebuilding.
✔ Integrate tools into how we already work
including Slack, Outlook, Microsoft 365, and our practice management systems.
✔ Support adoption and good guardrails
by helping teach the team, keeping our AI and data guidance current, and tracking what’s making a difference.
About you
You’re confident building with AI and keen to keep learning. You’re driven, curious, practical and comfortable figuring things out as you go.
✔ You’re AI-native and hands-on.
You know your way around Claude and other leading AI tools, and building workflows and automation already comes naturally.
✔ You’re early in your career
.
You might be a recent graduate, close to graduating, and have built experience through work, study, volunteering, or a side hustle.
✔ You like solving real business problems.
You’re interested in how finance, operations, customer-facing teams, and people-focused work fit together, and how AI can make that work better.
✔ You’re a builder first, and keen to grow as a teacher too.
We’ll work with you to help you share what you know and bring others along.
