• DTC E-commerce Focus: Design and manage all visuals essential to the Direct-to-Consumer business, including:
• Website Visuals: Designing hero banners, site graphics, seasonal updates, promotional modules, and landing page mockups using the Adobe Creative Suite and Figma (working closely with the ecommerce team for implementation).
• Performance Marketing: Designing high-converting assets for email marketing, social media campaigns (paid & organic), and display advertising.
• B2B Marketing: Develop tailored creative assets to support our club and wholesale business, including print flyers, club uniform lookbooks, training guides, and presentation decks.
• Design QA: Ensure all final designs are error-free, optimized for the specific channel, and adhere to technical specifications for digital and print output.

III. Brand Stewardship & Asset Management

• Brand Guardian: Act as the primary champion of the Destira brand guidelines, ensuring all visual communication is consistent, on-brand, and upholds our quality standards across both the DTC and B2B channels.

• Asset Organization: Manage and organize the Digital Asset Management (DAM) system for all final marketing creatives, photography, and video assets.

• Leadership: 1+ years of experience mentoring or managing a junior designer or small creative team is required.
• Portfolio: A strong portfolio demonstrating exceptional design skills, strategic thinking, and successful execution of e-commerce website visuals and multi-channel campaigns.
