• Develop and present concepts in Figma for Facer Studios and licensed brands, incorporating feedback from the internal team and licensors.

• Coordinate closely with our Licensing team on brand guidelines, licensor feedback, and approvals. Secure internal approval before presenting to licensors and required sign-offs before publishing.

• Build polished faces in Facer Creator, including animation, interactions, and data-driven elements. Follow brand guidelines and keep editable assets organized.

• A portfolio spanning distinct styles, such as realistic analog, minimalist, retro digital, and character-led or animated faces, with strong typography and composition.

• Proficiency in vector/raster design tools and watch face authoring, including layers, animation, and expressions or conditional logic. Facer Creator expertise is strongly preferred over experience with other authoring platforms.
