Responsibilities

Lead selected projects and campaigns with minimal oversight, working with the content and creative teams to translate concepts into high-quality, effective deliverables.
Develop client-ready design work and art direction across digital, social and print — including high-volume, fast-turnaround digital assets and report design.
Demonstrate strong judgement — knowing when a brief requires rapid execution versus deeper craft and development.
Translate strategic ideas into clear, simple and impactful design solutions.
Collaborate closely with teams across the business.
Present work confidently to senior internal stakeholders across design and account teams.
Work independently as well as under the guidance of the Design Director.
Guide and support junior and mid-level designers when needed.
