CafeMedia is looking for a full-time Senior Digital Designer to work with our creator email solutions team. We’re launching a new service offering to provide email marketing to our top-tier platinum publishers to help them create engaged subscribers that open/click emails that drive more page views to their site which means more ad impressions and revenue.

• Ability to work comfortably with brand guides and style guides without direct client interaction
• Ability to prioritize your workload to accommodate clients that need a quick turn-around
• Refine and adjust processes as business and creative needs change
• Experience with web-based Content Management Systems
