• Incorporate feedback efficiently while maintaining a high standard of craft and attention to detail

• 6+ years of experience in social media, motion, or multimedia design
• Strong portfolio (required) demonstrating motion graphics, animation, video editing, and static social design
• Advanced proficiency in After Effects, Premiere Pro, Photoshop, and Illustrator; familiarity with Figma preferred
• Deep understanding of platform-native social content and short-form video storytelling
• Experience working within brand systems and regulated or compliance-driven environments
• Ability to work independently, manage priorities, and deliver under deadline
• Strong communication and collaboration skills
• Bachelor's degree in Graphic Design, Motion Design, Visual Communication, Multimedia Design, Digital Media, Film/Video Production, or related field or equivalent professional experience

• Experience in financial services, fintech, insurance, or similarly regulated industries
