About the Role

A junior creative artworker with a background in graphic design but also with some basic animation and video editing skills. Enthusiasm and a willingness to learn matter just as much as experience. If you’ve got entry-level skills and have created anything you’re proud of — from posters to personal projects or even growing a TikTok audience — we want to hear about it. Skills are transferable, and you don’t need to be the finished article to apply.
