• Manage multiple projects and shifting priorities while maintaining quality and meeting deadlines.
• Maintain organized project files, version control, and consistent asset-delivery practices.
• Stay current on trends and emerging practices across design, motion, sports, entertainment, and culture.

Qualifications

• Two to four years of professional design experience.
• Strong portfolio demonstrating expertise in graphic design, typography, layout, composition, color, and visual storytelling.
• Demonstrated ability to translate creative direction into polished, cohesive executions across multiple platforms.
• Experience designing for social media, digital, print, merchandise, environmental, or experiential applications.
• Proficiency in Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, and InDesign.
• Proficiency in Adobe After Effects, with portfolio examples demonstrating animation and motion-design capabilities.
• Strong understanding of motion principles, including timing, pacing, easing, hierarchy, and visual rhythm.
• Ability to thoughtfully extend static designs into motion.
• Strong production skills, including file organization, versioning, image preparation, and final asset delivery.
• Ability to manage multiple projects and shifting priorities in a fast-paced, deadline-driven environment.
• Strong communication, collaboration, and attention to detail.
• Interest in sports, entertainment, culture, and contemporary design.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience working in sports, entertainment, lifestyle, agency, or another consumer-facing environment.
• Experience creating reusable design and motion templates for editors, producers, or social media teams.
• Familiarity with print production, large-format graphics, and final asset preparation.
• Familiarity with Adobe Premiere Pro and basic video-editing workflows.
