• 5-7+ years into your creative career as a Designer or Art Director, with strong thinking, craft, and a portfolio that shows what you can do, rooted in campaign work and not purely product or UI design.
• Deep knowledge of advertising formats and how visual ideas must be tailored — not just adapted — to work across OOH, social media, and short-form content.
• Strong aesthetic sensibility and taste — you have a clear visual point of view and know how to push creative work further within them.
• Proficiency in design tools such as Figma and the Adobe Creative Suite; experience with motion graphics or video editing is a strong plus.
• A collaborative, ego-free mindset — you're a natural creative partner who gives and receives feedback constructively, understands that great work serves business and communication goals, and thrives in a cross-cultural team environment.
• Confidence presenting and defending ideas — you can pitch a visual concept clearly to stakeholders and adapt it with grace when the brief evolves.
• Curiosity about AI as a creative tool — you're open to using generative AI for ideation, moodboarding, and rapid concept exploration, with the taste and judgment to know when it enhances the work.
• Experience with cinematography, film production, or motion design is a plus — an understanding of how visual ideas translate to moving image is valued.
