Hands-on experience using generative AI tools, prompt engineering, and LLM-assisted pipelines to research, draft, edit, and scale high-quality, customer-facing content. Experience building or utilizing LLM tooling (such as RAG for automated terminology compliance, style checks, or ground truth generation) is a strong plus.
