About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Execute high-quality, on-brand creative assets across digital, social, paid media, email, and presentation channels, building from established concepts, templates, and brand systems with precision and care.
Design and animate paid social and digital assets across platform-specific placements, applying strong fundamentals in layout, typography, hierarchy, spacing, and visual consistency throughout all production work.
Resize, adapt, version, and scale campaign creative across formats, specs, and aspect ratios — maintaining design integrity from original concept to final file.
Support dynamic creative, design systems, and templated production workflows that allow campaigns to scale efficiently.
Build and traffic HTML5 display banner ads to platform specifications for Google, Meta, and programmatic channels, with a solid understanding of animation, file weight, and technical requirements.
Leverage AI tools and generative workflows to accelerate asset creation, explore visual options, and expand production capacity without sacrificing craft.
Partner closely with Art Directors, Designers, and Production Leads throughout the process — flagging inconsistencies, raising quality concerns, and contributing ideas that strengthen the final output.
Maintain organized, well-structured file systems and asset libraries through consistent naming, archiving, and versioning that makes the whole team faster.
Manage a high volume of concurrent projects with clarity and accountability, proactively communicating timelines, progress, and risks that could affect delivery.
Incorporate feedback and revisions quickly and thoughtfully, treating iteration as part of the process.
Stay current on platform specs, animation requirements, file formats, and production best practices across Display, Meta, Google, YouTube, TikTok, Pinterest, and emerging channels.
Contribute to a culture of craft and continuous improvement — sharing tools, workflow shortcuts, and learnings that make the Creative Lab sharper and faster.
