This position requires a Bachelor's or Liberal Arts degree in graphic design, visual design, communications design, art direction, or a related field, combined with 5+ years of work experience as a designer, art director, or in a similar role, preferably with an agency background. You should possess creative and innovative thinking, with the ability to distill complex concepts into simple, thoughtful designs. Strong organizational skills, attention to detail, and excellent communication skills are essential, as is the ability to project manage work with tight deadlines. A team player attitude and a quick learning ability are also important, as you will need to provide and accept feedback and reprioritize your workload when necessary. Proficiency in Adobe Creative Cloud and Microsoft Suite, especially PowerPoint, is required.
