• Bachelor’s degree in a relevant field such as media, design, communications, or business (relevant internship experience is a plus).
• Strong work ethic, curiosity, and eagerness to learn in a collaborative environment.
• Experience with creative tools such as InDesign, Photoshop, Canva, Figma, Adobe Premiere Pro, and/or Final Cut Pro.
• Bonus points for HTML knowledge, but it’s not required.

We’re also open to considering junior graphic designers, production assistants, or editorial assistants with 1-3 years of experience for full-time positions.
