As the Lead Creative Designer, you will drive and produce high-quality creative solutions for our home care and pet care brands. Along with overseeing a small design team (including our existing Graphic Designer), you will translate brand and marketing objectives into compelling visuals across e-commerce platforms, print materials, and social media channels. Additionally, you will manage scheduling, posting, and monitoring of our social media content to ensure consistent and impactful branding.

Key Responsibility:

1. Creative Strategy & Execution

2. Social Media Content & Posting Management

• Conceptualize and design on-brand, visually engaging graphics for social media platforms (Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, etc.).
• Collaborate with the marketing team to align content calendars and campaign objectives; manage scheduling and posting of all content.
• Monitor engagement (likes, comments, shares) and respond promptly to audience interactions, in coordination with the marketing team.

3. Brand Consistency & Development

• Maintain and refine brand guidelines for both the home care and pet care brands, ensuring cohesive application across all visual touchpoints (online and offline).
• Propose updates to brand elements and design systems as needed to keep brand visuals fresh and relevant.

4. Team Mentorship & Leadership

• Lead, guide, and mentor the other Graphic Designer, providing regular feedback and ensuring continuous growth and development.
• Encourage a collaborative, creative environment, promoting best practices and knowledge-sharing within the team.

5. Collaboration with Cross-Functional Teams

• Coordinate with marketing, product, and sales teams to understand campaign objectives and brand positioning, ensuring designs hit the mark.
• Manage relationships with external freelancers or agencies for specialized design needs (e.g., illustration, motion graphics), as appropriate.

6. Project Management

• Prioritize multiple projects to meet tight deadlines, balancing design quality and speed of execution.
• Keep stakeholders informed of project milestones, manage expectations, and adjust workflows based on feedback and evolving needs.

7. Innovation & Trend Awareness

• Stay updated on global design trends, digital tools, and emerging technologies, particularly in the social media space.
• Suggest and implement innovative design approaches—interactive elements, motion graphics, or AR filters—to elevate brand presence and engagement.

8. Quality Control & Review

• Review and approve all final creative materials, ensuring they meet brand guidelines, technical requirements, and high design standards.
• Implement a feedback loop post-campaign to analyze performance metrics (including social media engagement) and refine creative direction for future projects.

9. Brand Expansion & Global Outreach

• Support global expansion initiatives for the pet care brand, adapting visuals to align with cultural and market nuances.
• Collaborate with the broader team to tailor social media strategies for international audiences.
