Partner closely with Marketing, Product, and Leadership to align design execution with broader business goals. Bring strong taste and strategic judgment to influence how the company is perceived in market. What We're Looking For Required 8+ years of design experience specializing in brand identity, visual systems, campaigns, and creative direction.
