Brand Consistency:

• Maintain asset libraries, templates, and brand guidelines to ensure cohesive execution across all channels.

Collaboration:

• Partner with Growth, Product, Brand, and CRM teams to produce consistent, on‑brand storytelling.

You will also be expected to check and manage the quality of work of another designer.

• Confident video editing skills (CapCut or After Effects) and a solid grounding in motion design fundamentals.
• Comfort using AI image generation tools such as Midjourney or Nano Banana.
• Strong understanding of Meta, TikTok, and YouTube formats and best practices; confident iterating and delivering creative at speed.
• Excellent visual judgement, image sourcing, and retouching ability, plus meticulous file organisation.
