About the Role

This position calls for a highly collaborative team member with a creative spark, developing design abilities, strong communication skills, passion, and self-motivation. Working under the direction of an Art Director, you will help bring high-caliber, photorealistic CGI product and packaging work to life, informed by a strategic framework and brand narrative.

You’ll work with teams across our entire global Marks ecosystem, on an exciting range of clients and categories, including toys, food & beverage, beer, wine, spirits, technology, personal care, beauty, retail, and many more.
