Digital Execution: Create high-impact digital assets that align with our new brand framework. Brand Expansion: Help us build out and maintain a "clean and elegant" visual language during a critical brand transition. Collaborative Ideation: Participate in creative brainstorms; we want someone who brings ideas to the table, not just someone who takes orders. Quality Control: Navigate a multi-layered review process with grace, using feedback to sharpen the final output. Occasional Field Support: Travel (approx. 10%) to major events (like the Army/Navy game) to help manage or create real-time content.

What Will Set You Apart: Strong Motion Design and Digital Graphic Design skills Photo Editing/Retouching skills. Generative AI: Experience using AI tools to create assets/physical product design (ex. tangible objects like coins or medals). Efficiency: The ability to handle high-volume production without losing your creative spark. Why Join This Team? You will be part of a creative ecosystem (including a sister team of 18+ video pros). While this role is based more "in-house" than our travel-heavy video crews, you remain a vital artery for our brand's visual output. This is a perfect role for a designer who loves seeing their work live in the real world—from the palm of a hand on a smartphone to the massive screens of a stadium.
