About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Design from concept to completion. Create visual assets across physical and digital touchpoints—such as environmental graphics, signage, wayfinding, apparel, merchandise, toolkits, and campaign assets—that set tone, communicate purpose, and reinforce brand identity. Leverage consistent logos, typography, color, and texture to deliver cohesive brand experiences.
Develop visual systems for launches and live moments. Design flexible graphic and motion systems for product announcements, live streams, and digital programming, including overlays, lower-thirds, titles, and presentation frameworks that scale across platforms and audiences.
Collaborate cross-functionally. Partner with brand, marketing, product, motion, video, and production teams to translate strategy into clear, compelling visual expression. Work closely with stakeholders to ensure designs align with brand language, goals, and timelines.
Maintain and evolve brand systems. Work within established brand guidelines while refining and expanding them for new use cases, channels, and moments. Document systems and share learnings to enable consistency and scalability across the ecosystem.
Manage design timelines and delivery. Own and coordinate project schedules, ensuring milestones are met and teams stay aligned from early concept through final production and launch.
Support scale and quality. Contribute to scaling global brand moments by helping build strong design processes, supporting other designers, and fostering a culture of craft, clarity, and collaboration.
