You’re a confident, strategic thinker who thrives in fast-paced environments. You know how to bring big ideas to the table — and how to roll up your sleeves and make them real.

• Maintain creative quality control across all phases of a project — providing clear, thoughtful direction and feedback to internal teams and external partners.
• Stay plugged into culture and emerging trends in design, tech, and experiential marketing.
• Collaborate with CD and ACD to help produce creative guides for shoots including location, styling, talent and photo/video style samples
• Help foster a collaborative, inclusive creative environment where ideas grow and great work thrives.

WHAT YOU’LL BRING

• 4+ years of experience in a creative or agency environment.
• Strong conceptual and executional design skills — with a portfolio that shows taste and versatility across digital, social, and experiential work.
• A demonstrated passion for AR/VR, social content, and emerging technologies.
• Experience designing for live events, activations, or immersive brand moments.
• Proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign) and presentation tools (Keynote).
• Excellent communication skills — able to inspire teams and build strong client relationships.
• Highly organized, detail-oriented, and able to juggle multiple projects and deadlines with grace.
• A passion for creating bold, culturally relevant work that makes an impact.
