• Lead visual storytelling that connects across multiple formats and channels.
• Bring fresh thinking to new business pitches and help win exciting accounts.
• Adapt seamlessly to different clients, industries, and tones of voice.

• Advanced skills in Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign) and familiarity with motion tools.
• Previous experience using AI in creative work—and enthusiasm to master new tools.
