• Own the quality of brand design briefs by clarifying requirements, defining scopes, and establishing clear priorities before execution

• Strong understanding of brand identity systems and their application across channels - digital, motion, print, and physical touchpoints
• Experience collaborating with cross-functional teams, freelancers, and agencies - you understand creative processes and know how to work effectively with external partners
• Confidence in capacity planning, prioritization, and coordination across multiple projects and stakeholders in agile, fast-paced environments
• Hands-on experience with AI-powered design and productivity tools (e.g. Midjourney, ChatGPT, Claude or similar) - or a genuine openness to adopting them
• Hands-on, structured, and reliable working style with a sharp eye for detail and quality
• Strong team player who creates clarity, transparency, and shared ownership
• Familiarity with design tools and brand asset management systems (Figma, Adobe Creative Cloud, Microsoft 365, Miro, Jira)
