• Comfortable working in a fast-paced agency environment.
• Ability to receive direction and independently improve an execution.
• Strong curiosity about design, advertising, culture and social media.
• Hands-on experience using generative AI within a creative workflow.
• Ability to use AI for visual exploration, image generation, ideation and production acceleration.
• Strong prompting and iteration skills, with the judgment to distinguish strong creative work from generic AI output.

Responsibilities

• Create high-quality visual content for Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Snapchat, LinkedIn, X, Meta and emerging platforms.
• Design static posts, carousels, stories, digital ads, campaign assets and short-form content.
• Understand how visual design changes across platforms and formats.
• Translate campaign ideas into strong visual systems that work across multiple pieces of content.
• Design for attention, communication and storytelling rather than simply filling a format.
• Adapt brand identities into flexible social media systems while maintaining consistency.
• Stay current with visual culture, social trends and evolving platform behaviours.
• Work with Art Directors, copywriters and social teams to develop visual ideas from briefs.
• Contribute actively to brainstorms and creative development.
• Explore multiple visual directions before settling on an execution.
• Understand the idea behind the work rather than treating design as decoration.
• Create moodboards, visual references, mock-ups and presentation-ready concepts.
• Bring references, cultural observations and creative inspiration into the team.
• Design confidently in both Arabic and English.
• Demonstrate strong understanding of Arabic typography, hierarchy, composition and spacing.
• Collaborate with Arabic copywriters to ensure copy and visual hierarchy work together.
• Develop campaign key visuals and adapt them across social, digital and selected offline formats.
• Maintain consistency across multiple deliverables and client accounts.
• Understand brand guidelines and know when creative flexibility is possible.
• Support presentations, pitches, digital campaigns and integrated creative work when required.
• Think beyond static design and understand how an idea can move.
• Create basic motion graphics, animated social assets or simple short-form video edits.
• Prepare designs and assets for motion designers and video editors.
• Understand pacing, transitions, kinetic typography and visual storytelling in motion.
• Collaborate with production teams on shoots and video content where required.
• Advanced motion capability is an advantage, but strong visual thinking remains the priority.
• Use generative AI and emerging creative tools as part of your professional design workflow.
• Use tools such as Adobe Firefly, Midjourney, ChatGPT, Runway, Kling, Flux or comparable platforms for visual exploration, reference development, ideation and production.
• Develop effective prompts and iterate toward a specific visual direction.
• Use AI for concept exploration, moodboards, image generation, image manipulation, compositing and rapid prototyping.
• Recognise poor AI output and know when traditional design or production is the better solution.
• Refine AI-generated material rather than treating raw generations as finished design.
• Combine AI output with Photoshop, Illustrator, photography, 3D, motion and other production techniques where appropriate.
• Understand basic considerations around copyright, likeness, provenance and client confidentiality.
• Continuously experiment with new tools that can improve creative quality and workflow efficiency.
• AI capability does not replace strong design fundamentals, taste or judgment.
• Maintain a high level of attention to typography, alignment, spacing, composition, colour and image quality.
• Prepare accurate final artwork and production files.
• Work confidently with different ratios, resolutions and technical platform requirements.
• Organise source files properly and maintain clean working files.
• Perform quality checks before delivering work for internal or client review.
• Maintain quality even when working under tight timelines.
• Take direction from Art Directors and senior creative team members and translate feedback into better work.
• Collaborate closely with copywriters, account teams, social teams and production.
• Manage multiple tasks and accounts without losing attention to detail.
• Meet agreed deadlines and flag potential delays early.
• Receive feedback professionally and understand the reasoning behind revisions.
• Take ownership of assigned work from brief through final delivery.
