About The Position

Projects are varied and fast-moving, and you’ll need to be comfortable jumping between formats, priorities, and stakeholders.

• Strong sense of ownership and pride in craft
• Advanced proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite (Illustrator, Photoshop, XD)

• Familiarity with UX or product design principles (useful but not essential)

• Translating complex products and data-driven stories into clear, compelling visual narratives
• Acting as flexible backup support for the internal design team during busy periods
• Working on short-term bookings (e.g. 2–3 weeks at a time) with multiple assigned tasks rather than a single project
