Mindset:

– Impeccable attention to detail, even under pressure
– Clear communicator who proactively manages workload and expectations
– Can-do attitude and genuine excitement about for-purpose work
– Taste—you know what makes good design great
– Collaborative team player who also thrives autonomously
Day-to-Day you’ll be:
– Managing multiple design projects from brief to delivery
– Collaborating with internal teams and clients to understand needs and deliver results
– Ensuring all work meets brand standards and deadlines
– Providing creative direction to external suppliers when needed
– Mentoring our junior marketing and graphic design assistant
– Translating complex information into accessible, compelling visual communication
