craft. \nBuild systems that support always-on content, rapid-turn production, creative versioning, and high-volume campaign needs. \nPartner with Growth and campaign teams to support test-and-learn programs, creative optimization, and iterative performance improvement. \nOwn quality assurance and delivery readiness\nCreate and perform independent quality assurance checks before assets are

and template issues proactively.\nEstablish repeatable review and approval workflows that support Brand Studio and marketing partners.\nOwn final delivery readiness, ensuring exports are accurate, complete, on-brand, and fit for channel requirements.\nContinuously improve template performance, output quality, and the reliability of the overall production system.\nValidate responsive, mobile-first, and platform-specific behavior across formats, placements, and device experiences.\nUse data, insights, and performance learnings to inform design decisions and improve the effectiveness of creative systems.\nCollaborate, enable, and raise the bar\nPartner closely with brand designers, copywriters, marketers, creative technologists, engineers, product teams, and machine learning specialists.\nAct as a bridge between creative, marketing, and technical disciplines, making complex systems practical and approachable.\nLead or support workshops, demos, documentation, playbooks,

tools, standards, and responsible-use practices, bringing relevant new thinking into production.\nClearly communicate the value, limitations, and opportunities of AI-powered creative workflows to partners and leadership.\nPresent work, system proposals, and creative recommendations clearly to senior creative leadership and cross-functional partners.\nHelp mentor peers and share practical guidance on motion systems, production craft, and emerging creative technologies.\nWhat you bring\nRequired qualifications\n7+ years of experience across digital design, production design, creative technology, design systems, or related disciplines, including at least 2 years working in template-based or automated production workflows.\nExceptional visual design craft and attention to detail,
