You stay attuned to cultural shifts and trends, AI applications, and are fluent in the visual language of social media.

You'll report to the Creative Director, and work with designers, copywriters, and cross-functional partners to translate strategy into visual expression. The ideal candidate is curious, meticulous, and invested in how a brand evolves across touchpoints.
