We are seeking a multidisciplinary AI Designer who is excited by emerging technology and the future of creative work. This role is for someone who thinks in pictures, motion, interactions, experiences, words, and sound. You should be as comfortable designing a beautifully crafted poster, social asset, or visual system as you are exploring how a new AI capability might show up in the world. You use design craft, motion sensibility, and emerging AI tools to concept, prototype, and create high-quality visual work for one of the world’s most influential brands.
This is a hands-on creative role for someone who leads through making. The right candidate is part designer, part motion graphics maker, and part AI craftsperson, with the ability to turn loose ideas into tangible creative outputs quickly. You should be able to design, art direct, prompt, animate, edit, prototype, refine, and present work with strong taste and a sharp eye for craft.
You will use AI platforms, motion tools, and design software to develop visual concepts, proof-of-concepts, campaign explorations, storyboards, social ideas, video frames, product demos, motion tests, and presentation-ready creative. You should be curious about new tools, fast in your process, and thoughtful about how AI can improve both the work and the way the work gets made.
The strongest candidate will bring sharp design taste, strong motion instincts, and a clear point of view on how AI can elevate the work. You should be able to turn a rough idea into visual concepts that feel crafted, premium, and easy to understand, and know how to raise the level of existing work through stronger design, layout, motion, and visual storytelling.
You will collaborate with internal creative, brand, strategy, product marketing, production, and agency teams, bringing ideas to life through making. You should be able to take direction, build on feedback, generate options, pressure-test ideas, and help the team see what is possible through visuals, prototypes, motion explorations, edits, and AI-enabled creative.
We are looking to hire this role as a full-time contractor for 3 months, with the possibility of transitioning to full-time employment upon successful completion of the contract.
- Develop original visual concepts, design systems, campaign assets, prototypes, social ideas, motion explorations, presentation materials, and digital experiences using both traditional design tools and AI-powered creative workflows.
Use strong design craft, motion sensibility, and a sharp creative eye to create visual concepts across digital, social, video, campaign, and presentation work.
Leverage AI tools and design platforms, including Adobe Creative Suite (After Effects, Adobe Premiere Pro, Photoshop), Figma, Gemiini / Nanobana, Google Flow, Antigravity, and other emerging creative tools, to concept, design, animate, edit, prototype, and refine creative ideas.
Create AI-generated visuals, style frames, motion tests, mood boards, proof-of-concepts that help pressure-test ideas and creative concepts to support faster decision-making.
Develop multiple creative directions quickly, then refine selected routes with attention to craft, clarity, movement, and brand fit.
Support a high bar for visual quality, motion craft, creative experimentation, and brand consistency across campaigns and channels.
Adapt ideas for the strengths of each campaign platform, especially digital, social, video, and motion-led formats.
Collaborate with internal teams and external partners to develop, revise, and execute creative work.
Stay hands-on with emerging AI tools and creative platforms, bringing new techniques, workflows, and examples back to the team.
Use AI to improve the creative process, including ideation, visual development, storyboarding, motion exploration, editing, prototyping, versioning, and presentation development.
8+ years of experience in design, art direction, motion graphics, visual development, or multi-disciplinary creative roles within an agency, in-house creative team, or production environment. Agency background is a plus.
A strong portfolio showing design craft, modern taste, visual storytelling, concept development, and hands-on making across digital, social, video, campaigns, motion, or emerging formats.
Proficiency in industry-standard design software (e.g., Adobe Creative Suite, Figma). Comfort working in After Effects, editing tools (ie Adobe Premiere Pro CapCut), AI tools (Google Flow, Nanobanana and emerging AI production tools).
Demonstrated fluency with AI creative tools for image, video, motion, ideation, prototyping, and visual exploration.
Strong prompt-writing skills and an understanding of how to guide AI tools toward specific creative outcomes.
Ability to use AI-generated work as part of a disciplined creative process, not as a shortcut for taste, judgment, or craft.
Strong design eye, including composition, typography, color, layout, motion sensibility, pacing, editing rhythm, and visual storytelling.
Ability to move quickly from idea to mockup, prototype, storyboard, motion test, edit, or presentation-ready visual
Strong collaborator who can take direction, respond to feedback, and improve the work without needing heavy oversight.
Ability to manage multiple assignments, timelines, and rounds of feedback with focus and attention to detail.
Curious, experimental, and self-directed, with a bias toward making things rather than only talking about them.
Understanding of brand safety, product accuracy, responsible AI, and the risks of using generative tools in consumer-facing creative work.
