Static & Motion Graphic Designer (Gurugram)

Purpose: As part of the Creative Unit, you will support and execute creative tactics defined by the PODs across multiple channels — including paid media, EDMs, UI/UX landing pages, and social media content. You will work closely with Copywriters, Performance Marketers, Product Designers, and AI Engineers to translate strategic direction into high-quality, conversion-focused static and motion creatives. This is a maker’s role, not a strategist’s. It is ideal for a designer who understands what drives performance in paid media, enjoys rapid experimentation, and is motivated by producing best-in-class creatives that scale across platforms. The Graphic Designer (Static & Motion) plays a critical role in driving creative performance, innovation, and consistency across Valerie’s brand portfolio — ensuring every asset is platform-native, on-brand, and built to convert. Accountabilities:
- Collaborate with Creative, Product, and Performance teams to deliver high-impact paid media creatives across Valerie brands and investment portfolios.
- Drive creative quality and innovation for performance campaigns, balancing speed with execution excellence.
