Bonus Skills & Experience

• Experience with motion graphics or video editing
• Knowledge of UX/UI design principles and familiarity with digital design tools like Figma

On a day-to-day basis, you will

• Collaborate with creative directors, account managers, strategists, writers, producers, and other contributors to develop creative solutions that align with our clients’ strategic goals, schedules, and budgets
• Build brands from the ground up as well as develop creative within established brand systems
• Work on multiple clients and project types
• Craft big ideas and dive deep into the details
• Communicate creative concepts clearly and effectively to both team members and clients
• Maintain current design techniques and seek to innovate

What We Offer

• Competitive salary
• Generous paid time off
