Working closely with the Director of Brand and Creative, you’ll translate campaign strategy and creative direction into distinctive visual concepts and cohesive systems that work across digital, social, events, presentations, advertising, and other brand touchpoints. You’ll be a close creative partner throughout the campaign process—from early concept development and visual exploration through production and launch. You’ll help shape briefs, develop campaign ideas, establish the visual direction, and turn approved concepts into clear systems that other designers, agencies, and production partners can execute consistently. You’ll own high-visibility design work while also providing direction, feedback, and hands-on support across the broader campaign. You’ll collaborate with writers, designers, video teams, marketers, and external partners to connect messaging and visuals, solve creative problems, and keep the work aligned as requirements evolve. This is a senior individual contributor role for a designer with strong judgment, exceptional craft, and a bias toward action. You can move between concept and execution, present and defend your thinking, incorporate feedback without weakening the idea, and deliver polished work under demanding timelines. You’ll help raise the creative standard across Shield AI while ensuring every campaign feels clear, cohesive, and unmistakably on brand.
