AI Creative Designer

Position Overview

We are seeking a highly creative and technically skilled AI Creative Designer to join our marketing and creative team. This unique role sits at the intersection of design, marketing, photography, cinematography, and artificial intelligence. You will be responsible for producing AI-generated visual content that supports product launches, retail marketing, social media, digital advertising, web experiences, packaging, sales enablement, and in-store promotional campaigns.

The ideal candidate understands that AI is a powerful creative production tool, not a replacement for fundamental design thinking. You must possess a strong foundation in branding, marketing strategy, visual storytelling, and consumer behavior to create compelling content that drives business results.

Crucial Requirement: Your work must NOT look like it was generated by AI. If your outputs "scream AI," this is not the role for you. We are looking for someone with extreme prompt engineering skills and a deep technical stack knowledge that results in media and imagery that looks authentically real, cinematic, and professional.
