About the Role

We are looking for a creative who seamlessly blends craft with technology and thrives in a fast-paced, hands-on production environment. Someone who understands what makes great creative for complex, institutional audiences — from event booth designs and campaign layouts to compelling video content — and can not only concept and execute that work, but quickly produce it with a resourceful, can-do approach, whether that means using traditional editing skills, generative AI tools, or a combination of both.

You are formally trained in design or a related creative discipline and AIisalready a core part of how you work — not a novelty, but a production tool. You bring a designer’s eye to everything: the structure of a video, the layout of an event space, the hierarchy of a campaign asset. And when video is needed, you can produce it using generative AI platforms, traditional editing, b-roll, or a hybrid of all three — with the design sensibility to make it feel intentional, not just fast.

This is a hands-on production role on our Brand & Creative team, where you will own creative output across digital, social, web, events, and campaigns — spanning static design, brand assets, and video. You will be mentored by senior creatives and have direct visibility to leadership from day one.

What You Will Do

Creative Design & Production

• Design digital and social assets, campaign collateral, event materials, and web graphics that are on-brand and built for scale

• Support the Sr. Designer on larger brand projects, bringing fresh thinking and strong execution

• Produce and iterate on design across Adobe Creative Cloud — Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, and Premiere as your baseline

• Bring concepts to life quickly and adapt based on feedback without losing quality

• Contribute ideas in briefs and brainstorms — this role has a creative voice, not just a production function

• Contribute to the ongoing development of brand guidelines and visual standards, and help maintain our internal brand site so it remains a current, useful resource for the team

AI-Native Creative Work

• Use Adobe Firefly and generative AI platforms — leveraging a variety of image and video models — as a genuine part of your production workflow, not an afterthought

• Generate imagery, motion graphics, and short-form video content using generative AI tools

• Stay current on emergingAI creativetools and proactively surfaceonesworth evaluating

• Help document AI workflows and best practices so the broader team can learn from your work

Video Production

• Produce short-form video content for social, web, campaigns, and events — from concept through delivery

• Work across production modes: real-world editing and post-production, generative AI video, b-roll sourcing and integration, and hybrid approaches

• Understand storytelling and pacing — you know what makes a video land, not just how to assemble one

• Collaborate with our Video Producer on larger productions, bringing an AI-native perspective to the process

• Adapt video output for platform — what works on LinkedIn is not what works on Instagram, and you know the difference

Team & Tooling Support

• Maintain and organize our digital asset library (DAM) so the team can find and use assets efficiently

• Support asset production across social, email,event, and web channels as campaign volume grows

• Assist with basicMarTechplatform tasks as you build familiarity with the stack — CMS updates, asset uploads, social scheduling

• Develop a working awareness of the AI tools landscape — flagging new platforms relevant to our creative and production workflows and contributing input to tool evaluation discussions

What We Are Looking For

Required

• Formal education in design, media production, visual communication, or a related creative discipline (degree or diploma)

• Demonstrated fluency with AI creative tools — Adobe Firefly or a platform with multiple image and video models at your disposal — shown through portfolio or real work examples

• Hybrid video capability: comfort working with real footage (editing, post, b-roll) and generative AI video tools

• Adobe Creative Cloudproficiency —Photoshop, Illustrator, and Premiere at minimum

• A portfolio that shows range: design work across digital and social, and at least some video output

• Strong visual instincts — you have opinions about what looks good and why

• Ability to manage multiple projects and meet deadlines in a fast-moving environment

Strong Advantage

• Experience with Figma for design handoff and collaboration

• Familiarity with DAM systems, CMS platforms, or social scheduling tools

• Prompt engineering experience — you know how to get consistent, production-quality output from generative AI tools

• Any background in motion design, animation, or kinetic typography

• Curiosity aboutMarTechand how creative tools connect to the broader marketing stack

• Artlist — including built-in generative AI models, with additional platformsonboardedas the stack evolves
