Creative Execution: Capable of independently translating creative briefs into polished, impactful illustration solutions across multiple mediums (digital, social, print).

Begin to lead smaller illustration tracks or visual workstreams, sometimes operating solo.
Provide feedback and informal style mentorship to junior team members to ensure visual consistency across projects.

EXPERIENCE & QUALIFICATIONS:

4-6+ years of professional illustration experience, preferably within an agency, studio, or corporate creative department.
A diverse portfolio showcasing an advanced range of style, depth in visual storytelling, and commercial applications of artwork.
Comfortable owning illustration tracks independently within broader, fast-paced creative programs.

WORK ENVIRONMENT AND PHYSICAL DEMANDS:

The following capabilities are required in order to perform the essential functions of this position. Reasonable accommodations that do not create an undue burden on the agency are available to address the following requirements.

Show Up Fully: We bring our authentic selves, our full energy, and our commitment to the team and the work every day.
