We believe great design is essential to how our brand shows up, communicates, and connects with audiences. As a Design Specialist, you will help bring our brand to life through high-quality visual execution, strong design craft, and thoughtful creative contribution.

You will create polished, impactful design work across a wide range of marketing and brand initiatives. The role requires someone who can take ownership of projects, work independently with a high level of quality, and contribute strong visual thinking to the Creative Studio.

Your core strengths are graphic design, visual storytelling, and turning ideas into production-ready creative. Motion and video skills are a bonus, not a requirement. Above all, we’re looking for a designer who cares deeply about craft, thinks visually, and contributes positively to a collaborative, creative culture.

  • Partner closely with the Country Creative Lead to co-develop ideas, mood boards, and visual directions for major initiatives.
  • Contribute strong conceptual thinking and help shape the visual narrative for campaigns.
  • Bring forward creative references, inspiration, and new approaches that push the brand forward.

AI-Assisted Creative Development
  • Use AI tools to explore visual directions, support ideation, develop moodboards, and speed up workflows.
  • Experiment with new AI capabilities and contribute insights to the studio.
  • Use AI to complement-not replace-design craft and conceptual thinking.

Collaboration & Cross-Functional Partnership
  • Work closely with Marketing, Product, Sales, and other stakeholders to understand business goals and translate them into effective visual design.
  • Communicate clearly around creative rationale, options, and refinements.

Studio Culture & Creative Contribution
  • Be a positive, collaborative, inspiring presence in the Creative Studio-sharing feedback, inspiration, and creative energy.
  • Support junior team members with casual guidance when needed (no formal management expectations).
  • Help uphold a culture of experimentation, craftsmanship, and continuous learning.

Quality Control & Production
  • Ensure all design output is polished, accurate, and production-ready.
  • Troubleshoot design challenges and proactively propose creative solutions.

Trend Awareness & Inspiration
  • Stay current on global design trends, typography, culture, and AI developments.
  • Introduce new ideas and references that keep the brand modern, relevant, and visually strong.
