Position at Ziff Davis Shopping

Creative Strategist

Ziff Davis Shopping helps millions of shoppers discover and save, delivering exceptional consumer and merchant-advertiser experiences across a portfolio of leading mobile and ecommerce brands. Our domestic brands include RetailMeNot, Offers.com, Blackfriday.com, TechBargains and more. We also run the leading Cash Back, Reward and Coupon codes brand in the UK (Voucher Codes).

Ziff Davis Shopping is looking for a Creative Strategist to join our content marketing team. The ideal candidate is a collaborative senior graphic designer with user experience chops and is comfortable working with autonomy under strict deadlines.

You will collaborate with the branded content lead and other channel stakeholders on crafting various types of creative for campaigns. You’ll be responsible for generating mockups and pitch decks for RFPs and ultimately executing on your vision when sold.

Facilitate creative brainstorms to stimulate revenue-driving ideas and initiatives.
Own editorial slide library and creative suite aligned to brand guidelines.
Manage QA of experiences, and troubleshoot and solve problems as needed.

Requirements:

5+ years of relevant graphic design experience in digital
