• Experiment with new formats, platforms, and AI‑powered workflows to increase speed and scale.
• Balance speed and craft—delivering high‑quality work under tight timelines.

Qualifications

• Portfolio demonstrating high‑volume motion work (ads, social, lifecycle) and brand/campaign storytelling.
• Expertise in After Effects and Adobe Creative Suite; familiarity with Figma workflows.
• Strong understanding of pacing, hierarchy, typography, and storytelling in motion.
• Experience building templates, systems, or modular approaches to creative production.
• Ability to work quickly and iteratively without sacrificing quality.
