Support creative selling motions to executives and other stakeholders with polished, high‑impact deliverables.
Design across a wide range of mediums—web, social, email, print, environmental, presentations—with consistency and craft.
Translate abstract brand strategy into clear, beautiful visual design that resonates globally.
Collaborate with creative leads to create cohesive marketing executions.
Refine layouts, typography, color, and hierarchy in executions to ensure clarity, usability, and brand consistency across concepts.
What Experience You Have
BA/BFA in Design, Art, or a related field (or equivalent experience).
8+ years of creative experience in‑house or agency, ideally within a design‑forward, brand‑driven environment.
Strong portfolio demonstrating conceptual design, storytelling, and execution across digital, motion, 3D, and experiential media.
Deep expertise in core design tools (Adobe Creative Suite, Figma, Keynote/PowerPoint).
Proficiency in creative AI tools and emerging design technologies; experience with Runway, Veo3, and Midjourney is a plus. Motion/film experience strongly preferred.
Exceptional ability to translate creative vision into visual/motion outputs that resonate with both creatives and executives.
Strong background in design and systems thinking.
Experience creating scalable design frameworks that empower global teams to deliver on‑brand creative.

Track record of elevating creative work with meticulous attention to craft and detail.
Proven ability to rapidly prototype and solve creative problems under tight timelines.
Ability to work in fast‑paced, high‑pressure environments with shifting priorities.
Thrives in ambiguous situations, working with little direction while maintaining high quality.
Outstanding presentation and communication skills.
