AI Innovation Associate (Vibe Coder)

Description

About the SMB Agentic AI Sales Team

We are the SMB Agentic AI Sales Team. We operate as a high-speed "scout" unit within TELUS Business Marketing. Our mission is to bridge the gap between "what’s possible with AI" and "what our sales reps actually need." We operate with a "Vibe Coding" philosophy: we prioritize high-level intent and rapid iteration, using AI to handle the heavy coding lift so we can move from concept to functional prototype in hours.

The impact you’ll make and what we’ll accomplish together

As a Technical Product Manager (Prototyping), you are a "Vibe Coder" at heart. You will sit at the center of a dedicated Data Scientist, our Sales stakeholders, and traditional Product and Engineering teams.

This is a "Hands-on-Keys" role. You are expected to build functional prototypes yourself. However, you aren't writing every line of code from scratch—you are an orchestrator. You will command AI agents to build the "heavy lift" of the software, while you focus on the product logic, the user interface, and the overall "vibe" of the solution.

How you’ll do it:

• Own the end-to-end prototyping lifecycle for our core pillars: Customer Discovery AI, Unified Quoting, and Post-Close Support)
• Shadow Sales, Marketing, and Client Care teams to identify real-world friction points, translating their verbal needs into structured logic and functional designs
• Personally develop functional prototypes using AI-native development environments, commanding LLMs and agentic workflows to generate the "heavy lift" of the code
• Collaborate closely with our resident Data Scientist to plug Gemini-powered summaries and real-time data into your builds
• Focus on speed and flexibility to create proof-of-concept models that can be tested, refined, and iterated on instantly based on user feedback
• Document the logic, prompt architecture, and design decisions to provide a clear technical "north star" for traditional engineering teams to eventually harden into production
• Conduct testing and validation to ensure prototypes meet functional requirements and solve the original user "pain" before hand-off

Qualifications

You’re the missing piece of the puzzle if:

• You’re a "Maker" with an AI-First Mindset: You likely have a degree in Computer Science or a technical field, but you’ve realized that AI is the ultimate leverage. You’d rather prompt a functional app into existence than spend 40 hours manually writing boilerplate code
• You’re Proficient in Logic & Code: You understand Python and JavaScript well enough to know when the AI is right and when it’s hallucinating. You can "read" code fluently even if you "write" it via AI
• You’re a Product-First Thinker: You care more about solving the user's problem and reducing their admin time than about the specific syntax of the code
• You have "No Baggage": You are hungry and eager to experiment. You aren't tied to "legacy" ways of working and prefer finding the shortest path to a working demo
• You’re an All-Star Communicator: You can translate a Sales rep's vague request into a highly specific technical "vibe" that the AI can build

• Agile & Entrepreneurial: We pride ourselves on our small-business feel within a big company. You will have direct authority to bring your vision to life
