Create high-quality, distinctive design across digital, animation and graphic design; from big campaign ideas to meticulous execution.

Contribute to a strong, inclusive, and creatively ambitious design team culture.
Partner closely with marketing, growth, product, and internal teams to deliver cohesive, cross-functional creative.

Significant experience as a brand designer / art director (agency, in-house, or startup), working with multiple teams on a variety of projects.
A strong portfolio showcasing detail-oriented design work, clear visual systems, and strategic, provocative creative thinking.
Mastery of core graphic design fundamentals: typography, color, layout, hierarchy, and composition.

Mastery of Figma and Adobe design tools.
Comfortable working independently or under direction from creative leads, driving multiple projects at a time and iterating quickly.
