WHO YOU ARE:

You are a experienced visual storyteller with 5-7 years of VIDEO and GRAPHIC design experience with a passion for brand building, and multiple design aesthetics who also embraces AI-powered tools to accelerate production and drive campaign output at scale.
You have creative team management and mentoring experience with individuals or small teams.
Your deep expertise with Adobe Creative Cloud - including Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Premiere Pro, and After Effects - combined with your ability to leverage AI-assisted creative tools to streamline and accelerate the development process, will enable you to oversee and drive high-quality content creation for:

• Print (ads, articles, brochures, branded publications, etc.
  )
• Digital (social media platforms including Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram, etc.

You are a problem solver that sees AI tools as extensions of your creative arsenal - not as shortcuts, but as accelerators.
You thrive in fast, high-volume production environments and get excited about using technology to scale creativity.

Delivering under pressure and on tight deadlines doesn't faze you or stifle your creativity.

You think outside of the box to add compelling details/style choices to 'cut through the noise' of the unending content streams we are all inundated with through social media and sponsored ads.

Since you are a storyteller, you want to know all the details relating to the subject matter of the stories you are telling, and you feel you must know and understand the audience intended to view the content you are creating.

You are passionate about personal development of you and the members of your team.
You are excited to both teach and learn new skills, tools, and techniques that will expand your and your team's repertoire.
You understand that feedback is a gift and are skilled at both receiving and providing feedback and coaching.
You want to explore new creative territories and tackle new creative challenges both individually, and more importantly, collaboratively as a creative team.
