Requirements

• 6+ years of experience in brand design, visual design and motion for in-house studios, agencies, or content teams
• A portfolio that demonstrates robust design skills and creative thinking is required. It should include brand identity, product marketing, campaigns, and digital content. Please provide examples that explain how AI was part of your work and the decisions you made.
• Robust design instincts across typography, color, composition, and motion direction—you know what makes work feel distinctive versus generic
• Expert proficiency in motion design principles and tools—Figma and Adobe Creative Cloud and motion tools like Calvary, Rive and Lottie
• A demonstrated point of view on AI in creative work — how to direct it, when to override it, and what it means to maintain a high creative standard when AI tools are part of the process
• Comfort migrating between big, brand-defining work and fast-turn executional needs
• Proficient collaboration skills across creative, production, marketing, and product partners
• A maker mindset—you enjoy improving how work gets made, not just making the work itself
• Experience developing or contributing to creative standards for AI-assisted production — guardrails, evaluation criteria, or workflows that help a team produce at a higher level with these tools.
