  • E-Commerce & Digital Design: Lead a team who will develop visually compelling assets for e-commerce websites, online ads, product pages, and digital marketing campaigns that drive traffic and conversions.
  • In-Store Design & POS: Create and design in-store signage, point-of-sale (POS) displays, window concepts, and other retail-specific materials to engage consumers and enhance the in-store experience.
  • Mentorship: Provide guidance and feedback to junior designers, helping them develop their skills and contribute to the team’s creative output.
  • Collaboration: Work closely with cross-functional teams (account managers, strategists, copywriters) to ensure the seamless execution of design concepts.
  • Quality Control: Ensure that all design work meets the highest standards in terms of creativity, accuracy, and consistency, while managing the production process from concept to final output.
  • Trend Awareness: Stay current on design trends, retail innovations, and competitor activity to keep your work fresh and relevant.
  • Time Management: Effectively manage multiple projects at once, balancing creative execution with tight deadlines and client needs.

Required Skills & Experience:

  • Proven Experience: Minimum of 5 years of graphic design experience, with a portfolio that demonstrates expertise in branding, digital design, and integrated advertising campaigns.
  • Advanced Software Proficiency: Expertise in Adobe Creative Suite (Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign) and familiarity with web design tools like Figma or similar.
  • Branding & Visual Identity: Deep understanding of brand guidelines, with the ability to create designs that are both visually compelling and aligned with the client's brand identity.
  • Creative Concepting: Proven ability to generate innovative design concepts and transform them into cohesive, impactful campaigns.
  • Multi-Platform Design: Experience working across a range of media and platforms, including digital, social and print.
  • Collaboration & Communication: Excellent interpersonal skills, with the ability to work closely with clients, team members, and other departments to ensure the success of each project.
  • Attention to Detail: Strong focus on quality and precision, with the ability to maintain a high standard of design output under pressure.
  • Time Management: Strong organizational and project management skills, with the ability to handle multiple projects and deadlines simultaneously.
  • Presentation Skills: Comfortable presenting your work to clients and stakeholders, articulating design choices and concepts clearly and effectively.
