The role will act as the final approver for all assets (including retouching) and marketing collateral.

GUIDE AND COLLABORATE WITH CREATIVE PARTNERS

As a central point of contact, you’ll guide and work closely with agencies and collaborators. This includes creating clear briefs, providing constructive feedback, and offering strategic guidance to ensure all creative efforts are aligned with the brand’s vision and objectives.

Maximize Synergies and Elevate Brand Awareness
