We need a hands-on creative who blends strong graphic design with social video skills to help us execute campaigns across email, social, and in-store channels.

AI is a production accelerator in this role. We expect you to use tools like Claude, Canva AI, and other platforms to speed up concepting, layout variations, and execution. Final work should reflect strong brand fluency and human creative judgment.
