About the Role

Integrated Marketing team is looking for a Creative Specialist to support the day-to-day production and execution of creative work across campaigns, content, and brand initiatives. This is a contract role embedded within the Integrated Marketing team and reporting to the Creative Production Lead.

This is a role for someone who is early to mid-career and hungry to grow. You don't need to be a seasoned expert in every tool or format — but you do need strong instincts, a real sense of craft, and the discipline to execute consistently under deadline. You'll work alongside senior creatives, learning the brand and contributing real deliverables from day one.

The work spans visual design, motion, and light production support. You might be resizing a campaign ad set one hour, building a simple animated social asset the next and supporting an onsite video shoot the very next. What stays constant is the standard: every output should look and feel like it belongs to a brand that takes quality seriously.

What You’ll Do

Creative Production & Execution

• Produce and adapt creative assets for digital campaigns, including display ads, social graphics, email headers, landing page visuals, and event materials
• Resize, reformat, and version campaign deliverables across platforms and specs, maintaining visual consistency and brand fidelity throughout
• Build simple motion graphics and animated assets for social and digital channels using tools such as Adobe After Effects or equivalent
• Support the production of video content — asset preparation, lower thirds, graphic overlays, and export formatting — in coordination with senior team members
• Maintain organized file structures, asset libraries, and version control so the team can find and use deliverables without friction

Brand & Campaign Support

• Apply brand standards accurately and consistently across all work, including typography, color, logo usage, and design system components
• Assist in the production of brand presentations, event collateral, and printed or digital sales-support materials
• Support the preparation of creative deliverables for agency review or handoff, including packaging files and providing production notes
• Flag inconsistencies or ambiguities in creative briefs early, and actively participate in team reviews and feedback cycles

Collaboration & Process

• Work closely with the Creative Production Lead to prioritize and sequence incoming requests and manage delivery timelines
• Communicate clearly on project status, blockers, and timelines — proactively, not reactively
• Coordinate with writers, campaign managers, and other stakeholders to gather assets, copy, and direction needed to complete work
• Contribute to an environment where quality is the default and iteration is welcomed

What We’re Looking For

Required

• 1–4 years of experience in a creative production, graphic design, or visual communications role — agency, in-house, or freelance
• Solid command of Adobe Creative Suite, particularly Illustrator, Photoshop, and InDesign; working knowledge of After Effects or Premiere is strongly preferred
• A portfolio that demonstrates design fundamentals: layout, typography, color, hierarchy, and attention to detail
• Ability to work from a brand system and creative brief, not just from inspiration — you understand that constraints are part of the job
• Strong organizational habits and the ability to manage multiple concurrent tasks without dropping quality
• Clear communication skills and comfort asking clarifying questions rather than guessing
• Familiarity with digital ad specs and production requirements across channels including LinkedIn, programmatic display, and email

Nice to Have

• Experience in B2B tech, semiconductor, enterprise software, or a similarly complex or technical industry
• Motion graphics experience beyond basic animation — you can create something that moves with purpose, not just for the sake of moving
• Familiarity with Figma or other collaborative design tools for handoff and review workflows
• Basic video editing capabilities — you’ve worked in a timeline and understand the production process even if you’re not a full editor
• Comfort working in a fast-moving team where priorities can shift and the ability to adapt without losing quality

Why This Role

Client is at an interesting moment as a company — with a strong enterprise NAND and SSD portfolio, a brand that is still earning its place in a competitive market, and a marketing team that is building something real rather than just maintaining what already exists. The Integrated Marketing team is ambitious, the work is varied, and the creative bar is genuinely high.

This role is designed for someone who wants to do more than produce assets from a spec sheet. You’ll be embedded in a team that cares about craft, works collaboratively, and holds itself to a standard that goes beyond “good enough.” You’ll also have the chance to learn from senior creatives and see how a brand-level creative operation functions across campaigns, events, digital, and communications.

If you’re a creative who is precise, dependable, curious about technical subjects, and ready to grow into a more senior role over time — this engagement is worth your time.
