• Developing and executing creative concepts alongside the Marketing team.
• Working within and helping evolve Allica’s brand to include motion guidelines and ensure consistency, distinctiveness, and cut-through.
• Managing multiple briefs simultaneously and delivering work that is on brief, on brand, and on time.
• Collaborating with copywriters, marketing managers, and external suppliers (e.g., production partners, printers).
• Contributing inspiration, ideas, and fresh creative thinking to continually raise our output.

• A solid motion design capability and comfortable adding motion craft to static assets.
• Strong foundational design skills across digital and print, with the ability to produce polished, distinctive work.
