- Design modern, user-friendly web layouts and landing pages
- Create engaging social media graphics and campaigns or motion graphic content (short-form video, animation, GIFs)
- Use AI tools (e.g., Midjourney, Firefly, Runway, Figma AI, ChatGPT) to brainstorm ideas, generate visuals, and optimize creative workflows
- Collaborate with creative, content, and strategy teams to ensure consistent design across all client touchpoints
- Participate in creative reviews and bring fresh, experimental ideas to the table.
Requirements

- Curiosity and hands-on experience with AI design tools (e.g., generating assets, editing visuals, creating campaign concepts)

- Collaborative mindset and ability to manage multiple projects with attention to detail
Bonus Skills

- Be part of a smart, driven, creative team that believes in doing excellent work and having fun
