• Own day-to-day creative production for assigned projects, helping manage timelines, deliverables, reviews, risks, and final delivery in partnership with producers and project leads.

• Concept, design, and build key campaign assets and marketing materials, working directly in Figma and Adobe Creative Suite.

• Translate campaign ideas into cohesive visual systems across digital, web, social, experiential, and other relevant touchpoints.

• Provide clear, specific, and actionable feedback that strengthens the idea, improves craft, and moves the work forward.

• Manage multiple priorities while maintaining a high bar for creative quality, visual consistency, and attention to detail.

• Ability to take creative from brief through concept, visual development, production, and final execution.

• Hands-on design craft, including the ability to create production-ready visuals, decks, presentations, and campaign assets.

• Exceptional eye for composition, typography, color, photography, motion, visual storytelling, and craft.

• Ability to work independently on moderately complex projects, manage multiple stakeholders, and make sound decisions with appropriate guidance.

• Proficiency in Figma and Adobe Creative Suite, with comfort working directly in files.

• Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, evolving, and sometimes ambiguous environment.
