• Concept, design, and execute high-impact creative across digital, site, social, events, brand activations, and campaign toolkits in support of key business objectives.

• Bridge creative strategy with design execution by leveraging evidence, audience insights, and business goals to make strategic creative choices that cut through the noise.

• Serve as a subject matter expert for brand standards, championing the brand, advocating for good taste, and driving visual consistency across all work.

• Own design projects end-to-end from initial white-space ideas through final delivery for high-visibility campaigns with an appropriate degree of autonomy.

• Proactively identify opportunities, develop smart solutions, and bring fresh ideas that raise the creative bar and push mindsets.

• Stay ahead of modern design, digital, and consumer trends, letting them naturally inform and elevate your work.

• Manage multiple deadlines simultaneously to deliver polished, high-quality, and error-free work on time, every time.

• Collaborate closely with immediate team members and line of business partners, thoughtfully incorporating feedback and asking the right questions to gain clarity when needed.

• Your curiosity is endless. There's always something else to learn.

• You're flexible and not afraid of change-in fact you welcome the challenge.

• You share your point of view, but seek out what might be missing and listen.

• You have big ideas and know the best ones are driven by proof, persistence and patience.

• You're a storyteller. You simplify the complex and compel your audience to act.

• You know how to enjoy yourself. While fun isn't mandatory, it certainly seems to follow you.

• You care-about the work, your team and the customers you serve.
