A solid foundation in design principles; grids, layouts, hierarchy etc and knowledge of UI/UX principles is essential. Any understanding of either marketing or video production would be a plus.
Time Management: You are highly organised with an ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously, along with a keen sense of prioritisation and time management from both a deadline and client budget perspective. You take a proactive and flexible approach, that can adapt to demanding business needs and have the confidence and ability to work quickly to deadlines, without impacting quality or attention to detail.

Team / collaboration: You thrive whether taking ownership of your own projects or working with others. You have experience of leading and collaborating with more junior members on creative projects, and are happy to mentor others, providing guidance and support to aid their development and expand their skillset.
