Job description

Responsibilities

• Bring a strong, articulated creative point of view to every project — you’re not just executing briefs, you’re shaping how our brands look, feel, and show up in culture
• Design compelling marketing and brand storytelling campaigns for digital advertising, social media (Instagram, TikTok, Pinterest, Facebook, YouTube), email, websites, and retailer platforms — with a creative standard that is visually arresting, culturally relevant, and aesthetically elevated
• Apply motion graphics, animation, and GIFs to bring brand storytelling to life across channels
• Lead and mentor junior and mid-level designers — reviewing work, giving direction, and raising the bar for craft and brand fluency across the team
• Partner closely with Brand & Brand Activation roles to deliver campaign work that serves both brand and business goals
• Develop deep fluency in each brand’s aesthetic, voice, and positioning — acting as a guardian of creative integrity across every touchpoint
• Understand and design toward performance — fluent in the metrics that matter (ROAS, reach, CTR, thumb stop rate, site traffic) and using that data to continuously refine creative output
• Set the standard for AI tool adoption on the team: pilot new tools, build workflows that accelerate production, and share what you learn so the whole team levels up
• Stay plugged into culture, design, and emerging brands — regularly bringing fresh references and a point of view on what’s working and why
• Edit video and photo assets for use across social, web, and retail partner sites
• Develop print and marketing materials as needed: mood boards, trade show signage, posters, brochures, merchandise, presentation decks
• Manage multiple projects and competing priorities across brands independently, communicating progress clearly and consistently meeting deadlines
• Partner with our overseas creative team to ensure deliverables stay on brand and on message
• Show up as a collaborative, energizing presence on the team — someone others look to for taste, direction, and standards

Requirements

• 5+ years of hands‑on experience building brands people pay attention to — agency, in‑house, or a mix; we care more about the work than the path
• A portfolio that shows range and a clear, recognizable point of view — not just polished execution of someone else’s vision
• Proven mastery of design fundamentals: layout, color theory, typography, and visual hierarchy
• Expert proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Premiere, After Effects) and Figma.
• Working knowledge of Canva and Microsoft Office Suite
• Demonstrated experience designing visual content for web, mobile, and tablet
• Comfort with — and genuine curiosity about — AI‑powered creative tools (generative image tools, AI video, workflow automation, etc.); a track record of driving adoption, not just using them
• Solid understanding of social and digital video platforms and what performs on each
• Strong conceptual thinking: a well‑developed point of view you can articulate, defend, and execute
• Excellent communicator — clear, direct, and just as comfortable giving feedback as receiving it
• Demonstrated experience mentoring or leading other designers
• A proactive, solution‑oriented mindset; you see constraints as creative problems to solve
• Genuine passion for design, interiors, and visual culture — you notice things other people walk past, and you have opinions about why they matter
• A genuinely great attitude: collaborative, curious, and committed to doing work you’re proud of
