• Innovation at Scale: Collaborate across creative and marketing teams using modern design tools, 3D animation, and approved AI‑powered solutions.
• Autonomy and Ownership: Guide creative projects from concept through delivery while staying actively involved in design and production.
• Culture of Growth: Share your expertise, mentor designers, and develop your craft in a collaborative environment that values initiative and continuous improvement.

Your Impact

• Guide creative from concept to delivery, translating marketing briefs into compelling visual solutions and coordinating designers, artists, freelancers, and creative partners as needed.
• Strengthen brand consistency by applying Vacatia’s enterprise guidelines across campaigns, communications, templates, and reusable design assets.
• Create motion graphics and 3D animation from concept and storyboarding through production, adapting content for different channels and technical requirements.
• Design integrated marketing campaigns across email, digital, print, and on‑property channels, maintaining cohesive creative across audiences and formats.
• Elevate digital experiences through responsive email design, landing page assets, wireframes, and layouts that prioritize usability, accessibility, and mobile optimization.
• Deliver high‑quality print and resort collateral, preparing production‑ready files and coordinating with vendors to maintain accuracy, quality, and timelines.
• Mentor designers and collaborate across teams, providing actionable feedback, presenting creative rationale, and managing deliverables and competing priorities.
• Improve creative effectiveness by using performance insights, stakeholder feedback, and workflow improvements to refine execution and simplify complex information.

What You Bring

• 5+ years of progressive experience in graphic design, marketing design, or a related creative field, including art direction, creative initiative leadership, and designer mentorship.
• A portfolio demonstrating strong concepts and hands‑on execution across brand campaigns, digital, print, and motion, including a motion reel or animation examples.
• Demonstrated ability to guide creative projects from brief through final production and apply established brand guidelines across audiences and channels.
• Hands‑on experience with 3D animation tools such as Cinema 4D or Blender, along with motion graphics tools such as After Effects.
• Proficiency in Figma and Adobe Creative Suite, including Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign, with working knowledge of Premiere Pro.
• Familiarity with email design and marketing automation platforms such as Salesforce Marketing Cloud.
• Working knowledge of responsive design, visual hierarchy, UX principles, accessibility, and print production.
• Strong communication, organization, and time management skills, with the ability to explain creative decisions, provide constructive feedback, and balance multiple projects.
