Role Overview

The Senior Creative, Graphic Design plays a key role in concepting and producing exceptional work across digital and traditional formats.

This position is ideal for a designer who thrives in cross-disciplinary environments and is curious about new tools and approaches to visual storytelling.

Familiarity with large language models (LLMs) such as ChatGPT or Gemini is also expected. While deep or extensive AI experience is not mandatory, candidates must demonstrate comfort with AI-assisted tools and provide work samples that reflect real-world use.
