How We Work

Core Responsibilities

I. Email & SMS Creative Production (~25% of time)
* Native ESP Builds:Design and assemble emails directly inside Klaviyo so copy edits, link fixes, and last-minute changes do not require a round trip through Adobe software.
* Canva-First Production:Create supporting graphics, social-to-email adaptations, and campaign assets in Canva (Adobe Illustrator/Photoshop used where needed, but Canva is the primary driver).
* Calendar Execution:Own the creative for the weekly and biweekly email/SMS send calendar on time, every time.

II. Creative Direction & Concept Development (~10% of time)
* Concept Origination:Bring fresh visual formats, layouts, and campaign concepts to the table independently. Concepts should originate from you, not be mapped out for you.
* Independent Execution:Run with greenlit creative directions autonomously, iterating and refining without needing repeated prompting.
* Weekly Creative Reviews:Lead weekly creative reviews during core U.S. business hours, coming prepared with what’s new, what is being tested, and what to launch next.
* Visual Leadership:Set the visual standard across email, paid, social, and product marketing that other team members and contractors design toward.

III. Wholesale Catalog Management (~5% of time)
* End-to-End Ownership:Manage the twice-yearly wholesale assortment catalog in Illustrator from kickoff through final print-ready file delivery.
* Imagery & Layout:Source, place, and format product photography for every SKU, keeping the visual system consistent across all pages.
* Data Verification:Ensure pricing and barcodes for every SKU are verified against source data before going to print.

IV. Paid & Social Asset Support (~25% of time)
* Paid Media Production:Produce static and video ad assets for Meta, Google, and paid social on an ongoing, standing cadence.
* Paid Media Partnership:Partner directly with the paid media buyer on specs, testing needs, and creative refreshes as ad performance evolves.
* Promotional Graphics:Prioritize time-sensitive static graphics for sales, promotions, and key Instagram moments with rapid turnaround times.
* Organic-to-Paid Adaptation:Work with the Social Content team to identify top-performing organic content and adapt it into high-converting paid ad assets.
* Platform Discipline:Build to exact platform specs (aspect ratios, safe zones, video length) to avoid rework.

V. Shopify Product Asset Management (~15% of time)
* Asset Pipeline Ownership:Prep, crop, retouch, and format new product photography from raw files through published Shopify listings.
* VA Oversight:Direct and QA a Virtual
