Proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite (Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign) , Microsoft Excel PLM experience is great—but not required if you’re a fast learner 🗣️ Communication + Culture Fit Clear, respectful communicator who thrives in a team and takes feedback with grace Problem-solver who brings solutions, not drama Ready to learn, grow, and contribute in a fast-paced (but always supportive) environment Someone who aligns with Conjetta's values: empowerment, equity, excellence, and authenticity Works hard but can let loose!
