WHAT YOU WILL DO

• Create world‑class key art across film, OTT, gaming, and lifestyle campaigns with a strong emphasis on visual craft and storytelling.

• Stay on top of entertainment and pop‑culture design aesthetics to produce fresh, fan‑relevant work.
• Work closely with creative leads and international teams (India, US, UK) to deliver assets within deadlines.
• Independently manage projects end‑to‑end – design, refinements, finishing, and final delivery.
• Be confident in Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, and comfortable with 3D/AI plug‑ins or extensions when needed.

WHAT YOU WILL NEED

• 7–9 years of direct, hands‑on design experience in entertainment art or related industries.
• A portfolio that demonstrates heavy Photoshop manipulation, poster finishing, and polished design work.
• Deep knowledge of Adobe Creative Suite, with bonus points for 3D and AI‑driven workflows.
• Passion for entertainment, gaming, and cinematic design.
• Detail‑obsessed, execution‑focused, problem‑solving attitude with the ability to self‑manage projects end‑to‑end.
• Comfortable working with cross‑functional and international teams, articulating design rationale clearly.
