This is a varied, hands-on role that combines creativity with technical execution — whether you’re structuring projects from start to finish, collaborating with freelance artists, or delivering graphics onsite at live sports events.

* Great understanding of composition and attention to detail.
* Ability to pitch creative ideas confidently to stakeholders.
* Experience in marketing, brand, or advertising campaigns.
* Flexibility to support live productions and learn on-site broadcast workflows.
