  • Manage multiple projects and priorities while consistently delivering accurate, production-ready assets on schedule.
  • Design with accessibility in mind, including legibility, hierarchy, color contrast, captions, and the needs of audiences across devices and platforms.
• Use generative AI as an integral part of the creative workflow to explore concepts, develop visual directions, create and edit imagery, generate variations, and accelerate production.
  • Apply strong art direction and hands-on design craft to refine AI-assisted work, ensuring every final asset feels intentional, original, and consistent with Pinger’s brand standards.
  • Review AI-assisted work for visual artifacts, factual inaccuracies, bias, inappropriate representation, brand risk, and potential intellectual-property concerns before publication.
  • Build reusable prompts, reference libraries, templates, skills, and repeatable workflows that improve creative consistency and production efficiency across several departments.
  • Evaluate emerging AI tools and recommend practical additions to Pinger’s creative toolkit based on quality, controllability, workflow fit, security, and commercial-use considerations.
  • Follow company policies governing confidential information, customer data, intellectual property, model usage, representation, disclosure, and content provenance.
• Present concepts and works in progress to stakeholders, explain creative decisions, receive feedback constructively, and translate that feedback into thoughtful final work.
  • Collaborate with Growth and Marketing partners to evaluate creative performance, identify patterns, and apply learnings to future concepts and iterations.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of professional graphic design experience, including a portfolio demonstrating strong conceptual exploration, brand design, website & landing page development, digital ad campaign work, and social media collateral.

  • Demonstrable experience using generative AI in professional creative work-not only prompting, but also directing, evaluating, compositing, retouching, and refining outputs into production-quality assets.
  • A clear understanding of when AI improves a creative workflow-and when traditional design, illustration, photography, or production methods will produce a better result.
  • Proficiency with AI video, voice, audio, and/or avatar tools.
  • A commitment to responsible AI use, inclusive representation, accessibility, brand safety, and respect for intellectual property.
  • Strong visual judgment and exceptional attention to detail, including the ability to identify subtle inconsistencies and artifacts in both AI and designer-generated content.
• Proficiency with Adobe Creative Cloud, particularly Photoshop, Illustrator, After Effects, and Premiere Pro.
  • Strong motion design and short-form video skills, including an understanding of pacing, sound, hooks, platform conventions, and visual storytelling.
• Ability to move fluidly between divergent exploration and precise execution.
• Experience receiving a creative brief, asking smart questions, presenting a rationale, and carrying work from early concept through final production.
• Strong communication, presentation, organization, and project-management skills in a remote, cross-functional environment.
• Curiosity, adaptability, and a willingness to continuously learn and grow as creative tools and practices evolve.
