• Collaborate with designers, producers, and marketing partners to ensure brand consistency and creative quality.
• Stay current with motion design, layout, and retail advertising trends.

• Proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite, especially After Effects, Premiere Pro, Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign.
• Strong understanding of layout, typography, and visual hierarchy.
• Ability to design effectively for both digital and print media.
• Experience balancing high-volume production deadlines while maintaining design quality.
• Collaborative, detail-oriented, and organized—comfortable working in a fast-paced, deadline-driven environment.
• A portfolio showcasing both static and motion work (required).
• Bonus: Experience in Figma, Adobe XD, 3D tools (Cinema 4D, Blender), or AI-assisted creative tools.

Why Join Us
