Say hello to the new class of AI jobs

"AI companies aren't just changing the way people work. They're changing the kinds of roles being hired, including within their own companies. The wider jobs marketplace is responding, with org charts morphing as a new class of jobs emerge. In some cases, companies are creating new job titles altogether; in others, existing roles are seeing a resurgence in value or a rebranding for the AI age."

"The hiring sprees and the creation of new positions stand in stark contrast to a growing number of companies that have cited AI as the impetus for layoffs. Job listings show that companies are looking for everything from one of the oldest pursuits (philosophy) to an entirely new category of jobs spawned by the generative AI models (vibe coders). Then, there's the armies of engineers tasked with helping companies implement the technology effectively."

"AI Storyteller AI and tech companies are looking for people who can help tell their stories, both in traditional communications and as new "evangelists." Anthropic is looking for a Claude Evangelist, someone who will be its "face" for the startup ecosystem. Adobe is hunting for its own "Business Architect & AI Evangelist." Last year, Microsoft began publishing a print magazine, Signal."

"For communications management roles, companies are looking for roughly a decade of work experience and deep relationships with reporters. Some roles consider experience in specialized areas, such as government work, a plus. For Anthropic's Claude Evangelist role, the company is looking for a minimum of seven years in a combination of founder-builder startup roles and developer-facing jobs."

AI companies are changing how work is done and the types of roles being hired, including inside their own organizations. The broader jobs marketplace is adapting as org charts shift to accommodate new job categories. Some companies create entirely new titles, while others revive or rebrand existing roles for the AI era. Hiring activity contrasts with layoffs at companies that cite AI as the reason. Job listings span traditional disciplines like philosophy and newer categories created by generative AI, such as vibe coders. Companies also seek engineers to implement AI effectively. Communications-focused roles include AI storytellers and evangelists, with companies hiring people to represent products in startup ecosystems and manage business communications.
