Job description

Who We Are:
At OluKai, we build premium products for the ocean lifestyle. Our footwear is created using the highest quality materials and crafted into beautiful, functional and incredibly comfortable designs that reflect the spirit of the ocean lifestyle we all enjoy.
We are committed to creating quality products for our customers while leaving the smallest footprint possible on the planet. Our company philosophy is to be environmentally responsible as manufacturers and to pledge OluKai to actively support and work for a clean environment and a better quality of life.
Our customers and staff embody the connection that exists between people and the ocean, it is our Culture. We want to build a team of individuals who embrace this culture, and have a passion for providing premium products and service to our customers.
About the Role:
We're looking for a Creative Designer, AI and Performance who is as fluent in prompts as they are in pixels - someone who sees AI not as a shortcut, but as a medium.
This is a newly created position at the intersection of design craft and emerging technology. As our AI Creative Designer, you'll own the production of paid and performance advertising creative - replacing the traditional cycle of concepting, prop-shopping, and on-set photography with AI-generated imagery and motion content that's faster, more flexible, and just as on-brand.
You won't just use AI tools - you'll be our resident expert on them. You'll watch what's emerging, bring recommendations to the team, and help us stay ahead of what's possible. This role reports to our Content Studio Manager and works closely with the Art Director of Brand Content on campaign and GTM creative - while also serving as an AI resource for the entire 10-person creative team.
What You'll Do (Responsibilities include but are not limited to):
  • Generate product and lifestyle imagery for paid social and digital ads using AI tools - concepting, prompting, and art directing outputs to match brand standards across both still and motion formats.
  • Apply strong photography art direction sensibility to AI-generated work - making intentional decisions about camera angle, composition, lens character, lighting, depth of field, film aesthetic, and scene direction to achieve results that feel considered, not generated.
  • Produce AI-assisted video and motion creative for paid placements - short-form content that meets the pace and format demands of performance channels.
  • Manually set and finalize type treatments on ad layouts, ensuring strong hierarchy and readability across placements.
  • Adapt and resize creative for multiple ad formats and ratios (1:1, 4:5, 9:16, etc.), leveraging AI tools where possible to accelerate that work.
  • Collaborate with the Art Director of Brand Content to produce AI-generated assets for GTM launches and campaign-specific work - ensuring consistency with broader brand creative direction.
  • Serve as the creative team's primary scout for new AI tools, workflows, and capabilities - regularly bringing vetted recommendations and POVs to leadership.
  • Identify and propose opportunities to use AI to reduce friction across the broader creative team's workflow - not just your own.
  • Partner with the performance marketing team to understand creative requirements, testing priorities, and results - using that data to inform future creative decisions.

What We're Looking For (Requirements and Qualifications):
  • Bachelor's degree or equivalent experience.
  • 6+ years of graphic design experience, with a portfolio that includes digital advertising, social creative, or performance marketing work.
  • 2+ prior experience on or alongside a studio photography team (you've been on set, understand the language, and know what it takes to produce great product imagery) - and know how to apply it to the AI process.
  • Hands-on, working proficiency with AI creative tools - including but not limited to Claude, Adobe's AI suite (Photoshop Generative Fill, Firefly, etc.), Higgsfield, NanoBanana, Vizcom, and similar platforms for both image and video generation. Actual fluency, not just curiosity.
  • A solid grounding in photography art direction - you understand camera angles and framing, composition, set and prop direction, lens selection, lighting setups, and film/analog aesthetics. You know how to describe a great shot, even when you're not on set.
  • Strong design fundamentals - particularly in typography, composition, and color. You'll be art directing AI outputs, not just accepting them.
  • Proficiency in Figma, Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign) for layout, retouching, and type work.
  • A genuine enthusiasm for tracking what's new in AI - you follow the space closely, form opinions, and share them proactively.
  • Comfort working in a fast-paced, volume-driven environment where speed and quality both matter.
  • An appreciation for lifestyle brands, footwear, or fashion - understanding the aesthetics of the space matters here.

BONUS POINTS
  • Prior experience in a performance or growth creative role, where you were designing to test hypotheses, not just aesthetics.
  • Gen-AI certifications
  • Experience automating through Figma
  • Experience with AI video generation tools for motion content and short-form ads.
