Build AI systems beside clients. Ship the work the same day.
A selective, client-facing role for AI Builders who can travel, communicate, adapt, and take ownership when the schedule moves fast.
See the standard in people already doing the work.
The best applicants do not need to imagine what an AI Builder can become. They can inspect the people, businesses, sites, and stories already in motion.
Marko Sipilä
Built an agency, moved into home-service software, and kept the same discipline outside work.
Dylan Haugen
Pro athlete, content host, co-founder, and on-stage teacher. Dylan shows that a young builder can operate the system and explain it under pressure.
George Paladichuk
A college student who co-founded NaiL and applies AI to a concrete home-services problem: helping companies answer and convert calls.
Ethan Van De Hey
Went from college digital marketing into client-facing home-services growth work—building proof through campaigns and operations.
The bar
An A-Player returns work that needs fewer iterations.
We select for ownership before résumé polish. An A-Player sees the outcome, finds a path through changing tools, communicates early, accepts correction, and finishes what they start.
- Resourceful without hiding risks or mistakes.
- Able to communicate clearly with clients and on camera.
- Moves quickly without sacrificing judgment; humble enough to be coached.
- Willing to travel and stay useful when plans change.
Work hard. Play hard. Stay effective through both.
You may travel, meet exceptional operators, teach on a stage, hike, golf, film, or train with athletes. Those experiences matter because they create relationships, judgment, and stories worth documenting—not because this is a lifestyle photo shoot. The work still has to ship.
What you will actually do.
Direct agents
Give specialized agents bounded jobs, the right source material, an approval boundary, and a definition of done.
Capture stories
Film clear vertical video, record client knowledge, and turn conversations into usable proof.
Ship assets
Build and improve pages, articles, clips, audits, ads, and personal-brand websites that make a person’s proof easy to find.
QA live work
Read back the source system, inspect desktop and mobile, verify the link, and fix what the first pass missed.
Report MAA
Bring Metrics, Analysis, and the next Action—plus the receipt that shows what actually changed.
Represent the team
Listen well, communicate directly, and help business owners understand what changed, why it matters, and what happens next.
A short application. A demanding standard.
We do not need a polished résumé or a week of interviews. We do need evidence that you act, communicate, take feedback, and follow through.
Publish
Record a one-minute phone video about something you built, something difficult you handled, or why you are ready for the seat.
Send the public link to operations@localservicespotlight.com with “Travel AI Builder Application” in the subject.
Repurpose
Strong applicants complete one practical content task and a revision loop so we can see follow-through, not just a first impression.
Talk
Finalists have a practical conversation about travel, availability, client-facing work, and role logistics.
