This role sits at the intersection of brand governance and creative production.

The role is responsible for all visual output from social media graphics and campaign assets to Board presentations, event branding, and branch materials and is the in-house design capability that enables the bank to produce world-class communications rapidly, consistently, and at significantly lower cost than full agency dependency.
