Main responsibilities in this role

The role will specifically contribute to two streams of design needs:

1. Marketing, sales, and training material design

• First, establish a world-class visual language for the business entity, and then own and lead the unique visual tone and language across the entity’s assets.

• Help create and review sales collateral such as sales PPT, product guides, training material, manuals, etc.
• Work with branding to maintain a consistent feel and brand identity across all creative content.
• Contribute to promotional and educational video materials for product and marketing.

• Act as a bridge between brand, marketing, and platform product design and user experience
• Work closely with UX/UI team to support visual design for content built into the product and services
• Guide front-end developers to get pixel-perfect design implemented as per design intent

We are looking for you if you have…

• Enthusiasm for technology, web platforms, and software products

• Impeccable eye for detail and excellent skills in design, typography, illustrations, and layouts
• Excellent knowledge of Adobe Creative Suite (Illustrator, InDesign, Photoshop) and other design tools like Figma
• Passionate about creating extraordinary, easy-on-eye, visual experiences to build a world-class visual feel for cutting-edge technology
• Ambition and ability to lead, have ownership and take things to the next level.
• Excellent digital (and print) design skills and an eye for branding details
• Excellent communication and people skills

Some basic experience in video editing, animation, and/or motion graphics (After Effects) would positively differentiate you from other candidates.
