• Partner closely with Visual and Motion Designers to integrate advanced UI animations, 2D designs, or 3D elements into seamless video creative.
• Develop and oversee automated templates and scripted workflows to generate high volumes of creative variants (e.g., A/B testing assets) without sacrificing quality.
• Work alongside cross‑functional teams to pitch concepts—balancing safe brand‑standard executions with experimental ideas, ensuring a cohesive campaign look and feel.
• Use insights from marketing teams to iterate on edits, refreshing creative based on real‑time performance data and audience resonance.
• Lead internal brainstorms and external client presentations, acting as the technical and creative authority for post‑production.
