Director of Artificial Intelligence

 <strong>
  Role Overview
  <br/>
  <br/>
 </strong>
 Our client is looking for a high-energy, "digital-first" Designer to join their evolving Product Marketing team. They need a creative engineer &mdash; someone who blends world-class visual design with technical curiosity and a ready-to-build attitude. You&rsquo;ll partner directly with a Senior Designer to ideate, build and launch complex marketing campaigns and high-performing UI experiences. You are a go-getter who doesn't just wait for a brief; you seek to understand our products and the "why" behind our strategy to build better visual solutions.
 <br/>
 <br/>
 <strong>
  Key Responsibilities
  <br/>
  <br/>
 </strong>
 <ul>
  <li>
   End-to-end campaign execution: Partner with a Senior Designer to translate marketing strategies into visual concepts. You will own the execution of these concepts across all digital touchpoints (web, social, email, display).
  </li>
  <li>
   Systemic UI engineering: You&rsquo;ll combine high-fidelity UI design with advanced Figma architecture &mdash; using auto-layout, variables and prototyping &mdash; to create responsive, accessible web pages and product experiences. Help build and maintain our design libraries and interactive prototypes, ensuring our design-to-delivery pipeline &mdash; including motion assets &mdash; is sophisticated, scalable and dev-ready.
  </li>
  <li>
   Motion &amp; interaction design: Proactively suggest and execute motion-based deliverables. You will design with movement to convey ideas and drive engagement, including web-ready animations (e.g., Lottie/JSON) that ensure clever site experiences and developer-friendly implementation.
  </li>
  <li>
   Creative ownership: Take the seed of an idea and turn it into multiple viable concepts without needing ample creative oversight.
  </li>
  <li>
   Proactive collaboration: You&rsquo;ll interface directly with Copywriters, Marketing Managers, Front-end Web Developers and other technologists. You are expected to speak up, share ideas and articulate your design decision aligned to marketing strategies.
  </li>
  <li>
   AI-driven workflows: You&rsquo;re excited to experiment with and implement AI tools that increase creativity, automate repetitive tasks and potentially build custom templates or tools that make the team's delivery more efficient.
  </li>
  <li>
   Brand interpretation: Act as a brand steward who isn&rsquo;t afraid to push boundaries. You use their brand guidelines as a foundation to build upon, not a ceiling, while staying true to who we are.
   <br/>
   <br/>
  </li>
 </ul>
 <strong>
  Skills &amp; Requirements
  <br/>
  <br/>
 </strong>
 <ul>
  <li>
   Portfolio excellence: A strong portfolio showcasing high-end UI design, digital campaign work and sophisticated web-based motion (Lottie, interactive prototypes, etc.).
  </li>
  <li>
   The tech stack: Expert-level in Figma (components, variables, auto-layout); mastery of Adobe Creative Suite, especially Adobe After Effects for web-optimized animation.
  </li>
  <li>
   UX/UI instincts: You design with the user in mind, understanding how layout, interaction and motion affect conversion and user flow.
  </li>
  <li>
   An engineer mindset: You thrive in an environment where you are expected to take initiative, independently seek out information to bridge design and dev.
   <br/>
   <br/>
  </li>
 </ul>
 **We are an equal opportunity employer and value diversity at our company. We do not discriminate based on race, religion, color, ethnic origin, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, or disability status.**
