- Manage multiple projects and deadlines in a fast-moving retail marketing environment.
- Ensure final creative meets technical, production, and quality standards.

- Proficiency with relevant Adobe Creative Suite tools, particularly Photoshop and Illustrator.
- Strong layout, typography, visual hierarchy, and image-composition skills.
- Experience taking creative or marketing direction and translating it into finished design.
- Ability to manage multiple assignments, revisions, and deadlines without sacrificing accuracy.
- Strong attention to detail and commitment to producing polished, production-ready work.




- Comfortable collaborating with marketing, creative, production, and other cross-functional partners.

Why Apply?
