Key Responsibilities

  • Fold accessibility into the first sketch, not the final QA pass
  • Distill a hour-long strategy deck into one image that survives the hallway test

  • Sketch early concepts that give JCPenney campaigns a recognizable visual signature

  • A keen eye for quality and consistency in your output
  • Comfort navigating ambiguity when the brief arrives half-written
  • Demonstrated ability to manage competing priorities under tight deadlines
  • Self-direction that survives a quiet Slack channel
  • The instinct to ask "what would change your mind?" before debating
  • Comfort owning a number that goes up or down because of you
