• Maintain and apply RMS design systems, workflows, and production standards
• Ensure all artwork meets quality, safety, and compliance standards
• Maintain brand consistency across multiple product lines, SKUs, and retailers
• Organize, label, archive, and manage digital assets with accuracy and consistency
• Work within established creative direction to execute production assets rather than leading initial concept development

• Manage multiple projects simultaneously while meeting deadlines and quality standards
• Prepare accurate production files and oversee revisions through final approval
• Participate in creative reviews, primarily to align on execution and feasibility of production

• Support Junior Designers through mentorship, guidance, and collaboration
• Contribute to a positive, collaborative team culture
