AI Integration & Self-Service Enablement:
- Champion the implementation of AI design tools (e.g., Adobe Firefly, Midjourney, etc.) into daily creative workflows to increase efficiency.
- Develop and manage a "self-service" design program, establishing clear, brand-safe boundaries, templates, and AI guidelines that empower marketing teammates to independently generate standard visual assets.
- Train, uplevel, and support non-creative marketing staff on how to effectively and safely use these tools while maintaining strict brand integrity.
Project & Agency Management:
- Act as the lead project manager for high-priority creative campaigns, effectively managing timelines, deliverables, and stakeholder expectations in a fast-paced environment.
- Oversee and direct external design agencies, freelance partners, and video production vendors, ensuring their output aligns with our brand standards, budgets, and business goals.
Video Production & Editing:
- Drive the production of video content, including storyboarding, art direction, and video editing for social media, website assets, product explainers, and corporate presentations.
- Manage video libraries, templates, and raw assets to empower the broader marketing team to leverage video effectively.
Minimum Requirements:
- 8+ years of experience in visual design, art direction, or a similar creative role, with significant experience in a B2B SaaS environment (Cybersecurity industry experience is highly preferred).
- Advanced proficiency in the Adobe Creative Suite (specifically Premiere Pro, Illustrator, InDesign, and Photoshop) and UI/UX digital design tools like Figma.
- A robust portfolio showcasing a breadth of work across multiple mediums, with specific examples of B2B marketing campaigns, data visualization, and video editing/production.
