Overview:
We’re looking for a passionate designer with advertising experience (or a design-obsessed Art Director) to help uplevel our ad game. Visually, conceptually, and strategically. You’ll be part of a fast-paced, fast-growing creative team with the opportunity to work on projects big and small—directly impacting revenue on a multibillion-dollar global tech brand.
As a member of the larger marketing team, you’ll play a role in supporting multi-platform advertising campaigns—working cross-functionally with marketing, growth, and creative department stakeholders to create compelling content across all channels.
Responsibilities
- Focussed primarily on advertising, you’re a hands-on creator helping produce the lifeblood content that drives our growth.
- Leverage platforms such as Facebook, LinkedIn, Google, creating relevant, tailor-made creative through static, animated, and video formats. You’ll have the chance to wear many creative hats, including creative ideation, writing, attending photoshoots, light video production, and more.
- You’ll also be able to touch everything the creative department works on—from marketing materials, print collateral, landing pages, to video and TV.
- You’ll help identify creative & design opportunities that improve the creative output, and help find unique tactics to leverage creative assets and outputs from other campaigns.
- Work with the growth team to test and measure your creative executions, and adjust creative strategies accordingly.
Qualifications
- Must have a portfolio of work showcasing a strong multidisciplinary approach to visual solutions and storytelling, including all forms of advertising design (digital paid ads, social media, email, DM, and web).Hands-on experience in the creative process from conceptualization to execution.
- 2-3+ years of design experience in a creative/advertising setting.
- Able to work effectively in a fast-paced environment with rapidly shifting priorities.
- You’ve got a solid understanding of foundational design practices as a base, but you know how and when to break those rules to create new experiences that complement our design aesthetic.
- You’re curious and a critical thinker—looking deeper than only visual beauty, but thinking about what makes the most compelling piece of communication.
- You’re a comping machine. You have an excellent working knowledge of the usual software like Adobe Creative Suite, and Figma, but you’re able to ‘make’ assets work through clever photo manipulation and a crafty spirit.
- Other knowledge in design automation, simple animation, video edit workflows is a plus.
- You love good advertising, but you also really appreciate an ad that works, and you’re curious enough to find optimal performance-based results.
