- Special Projects: Lead or support design efforts for major initiatives such as the creative repositioning of a 400-room Palm Springs resort, corporate partnerships with global hospitality brands, and communications for enterprise AI solutions.
- Brand Stewardship: Apply brand guidelines meticulously across platforms and companies to maintain consistency in visual identity, tone, and messaging.
- Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work with leadership, marketing, and operations teams to source data, images, and content for use across a variety of channels and formats.
- Visual Asset Production: Produce and edit digital assets, including graphics, layouts, short-form video, and motion content, with an emphasis on professional polish and design intent.
- Digital Distribution: Prepare content for deployment across multiple channels (e.g., websites, investor decks, social platforms), ensuring technical standards and design integrity are met.
- Research & Innovation: Stay current on design trends, tools, and emerging formats to keep content relevant and compelling.
Qualifications
- Proficiency with AI-driven creative tools (e.g., ChatGPT, MidJourney, Runway, Adobe Firefly, Jasper) for design, writing, and content optimization — required.
- 2–5 years of professional experience in content creation and design across multiple formats (digital, print, presentations, collateral).
- Strong portfolio demonstrating technical proficiency, design intent, and aesthetic range (graphics, layouts, branded content; motion/video a plus).
- Expertise with industry-standard design tools: Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign), Canva, Figma (or equivalent).
- Experience in formatting and preparing materials for professional use — RFPs, investor decks, conference collateral, and B2B communications.
- Competence in short-form video and motion content editing (e.g., CapCut, Premiere, After Effects, or similar).
- Excellent written communication skills, with the ability to adapt tone and presentation for diverse audiences (guest-facing, corporate, and investor).
- Strong project management skills: able to balance multiple priorities, coordinate across teams, and deliver in fast-paced environments.
- Detail-oriented with a sharp eye for brand consistency, layout, and formatting.
- Bachelor’s degree in Graphic Design, Marketing, Communications, or related field preferred, but not required — equivalent training, art school, or demonstrated experience also valued.
