This role is responsible for developing creative campaigns in one of the most visible and direct lines of communication with our customer base. From content expressions and digital story-telling all the way to demand gen and offers, your job will be to help develop design coming out of our marketing and advertising channels in support of key business initiatives.

We’re looking for a creative who can do it all: UX design, concept, art direction, wireframes, high-fidelity mockups, and most importantly, execution.

• Present your team’s work thoroughly and thoughtfully to the Creative Director and senior leadership. Communicate standard methodologies for design and reasoning behind UX decisions.
• Client’s success is due to our ability to craft a motivational story around people and our purpose. We create content that speaks with people — not at them. You should be able to design and steer work toward this mission.
• You relish the opportunity to be consistently creative. You work well under pressure, can deliver on steep timelines, and always keep an eye on the larger narrative.
• Aren’t precious about your work. Don’t get us wrong – we want passionate creative thinkers. But we also want Creatives seasoned enough to know when to push back, when to take feedback, and when to move on.
• Possess strong creative chops. We want to push the needle.
