5+ years of experience in art direction or senior design, preferably in an agency.

A portfolio that shows range and strong concepts. We value this more than your resume.

Hands-on experience using AI design tools (such as Midjourney, Adobe Firefly, or similar) in real client or campaign work. This is a must.

Proven experience managing a creative team and planning resources across projects.

Strong skills in Photoshop, Illustrator, and Figma; knowledge of After Effects or Premiere Pro is a plus.
