• Translate company narrative, product vision, and go-to-market priorities into high-performing creative frameworks.
• Deliver strategic, high-quality design across marketing campaigns, digital experiences, events, and sales collateral.
• Build scalable creative systems — including templates, asset libraries, and AI-enabled workflows — that empower self-serve design across the organization.
• Leverage tools like Figma, ChatGPT, Adobe Firefly, and Midjourney to increase creative speed and operational efficiency.
• Partner with marketing, sales, and product teams to align creative output with commercial goals and brand storytelling.
• Produce and edit video, live event creative, and executive presentations that elevate company messaging and visual impact.
• Manage freelance designers and creative partners, ensuring high-quality execution aligned with briefs and brand standards.
• Perform other duties as assigned to support the overall goals and objectives of the department/company.

What You’ll Need:

• Expert-level proficiency in Figma and modern design tools, with experience building component libraries and brand systems.
• Strong portfolio showcasing PowerPoint/presentation design, web design, campaign creative, live event design, and social assets.
• Ability to contribute to creative copy (ad copy, brand messaging, and social storytelling).
• Demonstrated use of AI tools (e.g., ChatGPT, Firefly, Midjourney) to accelerate creative development and automation.
• Outstanding visual design instincts — including typography, hierarchy, motion, layout, and storytelling.
• Comfortable operating in high-stakes, fast-paced environments with executive visibility and tight deadlines.
• Experience managing freelancers or agencies, crafting effective creative briefs, and maintaining quality and consistency.

Benefits:

• Competitive Compensation Package ($113,360 - $141,700 base salary + variable component)
