Requirements

You are an experienced creative leader with 8+ years of shaping visual identity and creative direction across digital brands, products, or storytelling platforms.

You are deeply fluent in design - with impeccable taste, mastery of visual fundamentals, and a broad cultural sensibility spanning art, film, photography, graphic design, and emerging media. You set and maintain a high bar for visual excellence, inspiring others to reach it.

You're technically fluent and creatively fearless - deeply curious about the intersection of design, technology, and storytelling.
You understand how AI, generative design, and creative technology are reshaping the craft, and you've worked hands-on with modern design and production tools to explore what's next. You can speak the language of engineers, understand workflows, and turn technological capabilities into expressive visual directions.
You're a collaborative partner to product, marketing, and leadership - able to distill complex ideas into clear, expressive creative direction that aligns teams and moves audiences.
You lead by doing. You combine vision with craft, guiding others through example and pushing the boundaries of what the brand can express.
