Brand Specialist

About the Role

The Brand Specialist is a hands-on, design-first individual contributor responsible for bringing XED's B2C brand to life across digital and print touchpoints. Working under the guidance of the Head of Marketing, this role focuses on producing high-quality creatives, collateral, emailers, videos, and web assets within established XED and university partner brand guidelines.
