Your mission is to make NALA impossible to ignore across the markets we serve: to give our launches a look and a story that stops the scroll, builds brand consistency where there's none today, and turns creative output into measurable reach, engagement, and growth across 25+ social pages and ~20 markets. ### 🎯 Your Responsibilities in this Role - Own the look of all marketing output (website, social, paid ads, CRM) and bring brand consistency where there's none today. - Turn product launches into on-brand campaigns: own the story, the hook, and the narrative. - Ship across our 25+ social pages and build + iterate paid assets across ~20 markets, learning fast from what converts. - Adapt creative per market (Kenyan, Tanzanian, Nigerian, Filipino and beyond) for audiences that are diverse, not one country or one culture. - Direct video end to end: storyboard, look, typography, motion, pacing. - Create illustration and visual assets: icons, illustrations, characters, backgrounds, 3D. - Deliver print-ready artwork for large format: brief printers, check proofs, ship clean files. - Turn requests around fast: small asks same day, campaigns in days. - Review other teams' assets for brand alignment. ### 🔥 Must-have requirements - Strong portfolio with 3-4 years minimum, including paid ads and branding work. - Fluent in Figma and Adobe Creative Suite, plus AI design tools (Higgsfield, OpenArt).
