- Explore and implement tools such as Jitter, Figma Motion, and emerging AI-powered video technologies to improve creative workflows and expand the team's capabilities.

- Produce short-form video variations for paid social testing, adapting concepts across different formats, messages, and creative angles.

- Strong systems-thinking mindset and experience creating reusable motion guidelines, component libraries, templates, or other tools that enable teams to work more efficiently and consistently.

- Strong understanding of sound and rhythm, with the ability to intentionally integrate audio and motion to strengthen the overall creative experience.

- Comfortable working directly from product UI and collaborating with product designers and other technical or creative stakeholders.

- Strong communication and stakeholder-management skills, with the confidence to advocate for creative decisions, explain the reasoning behind them, and proactively influence projects.

- Experience experimenting with AI-powered creative and video tools, with genuine curiosity about how emerging technology can improve creative workflows and production.

- Comfortable working with ambiguity, managing changing priorities, and taking initiative without requiring fully defined briefs or processes.

- Highly collaborative and adaptable, with the ability to work effectively across internal teams and external creative partners.

- Education is not required; practical experience, creative ability, and demonstrated expertise through your portfolio are valued.
