• Ensure all creative is optimized for engagement, performance, and brand consistency

Cross-Channel Campaign Support

• Partner with marketing and brand teams to bring campaigns to life across digital demand and brand initiatives
• Support occasional "outlier" projects such as digital menus, digital signage, and special creative activations

Creative Leadership (Work, Not People)

• Act as a leader of creative work , setting standards and guiding execution across a team of 6 designers
• Provide clear art direction, feedback, and inspiration-without direct people management responsibilities
• Uphold design best practices and continuously elevate the quality of output across all touchpoints

Collaboration & Execution

• Work closely with internal stakeholders and external partners to ensure timely delivery of creative assets
• Collaborate with contractors and outsourced talent to scale output when needed
