• Translate creative briefs into high-performing visual content, applying brand guidelines while pushing creative boundaries to differentiate our brand in a competitive category.
• Maintain and manage asset libraries and design systems to ensure consistency and accessibility across teams.

• Experience working in a fast-paced, high-growth business or startup/scale-up environment.
• Ability to work cross-functionally and communicate effectively with teams from Product to Performance.

You’re Naturally Like This:

• Collaborative, kind, and always open to feedback or iteration.
