• Process Documentation: Support the team's operational excellence by contributing to internal design system libraries, templates, ad specifications, and best practice guides.
• Creative Optimization: Proactively seek and implement AI-driven efficiencies in your day-to-day production workflows to minimize manual layout tasks and maximize design throughput.

• Excellent verbal and written communication skills, with an ability to clearly explain your creative choices to both technical and non-technical teammates.
• Solid time-management, organizational, and problem-solving skills, with a proven ability to prioritize deliverables in a fast-paced environment.
• An adaptable mindset with an openness to experimentation and continuous learning in an evolving, AI-augmented design environment.
• Familiarity with advertising platforms or understanding of standard visual ad formats (IAB units, native, and video).

Preferred Qualifications

• Basic HTML/CSS front-end development skills or experience working with Webflow, Figma, and Ceros.
