About the Role
Clever Samurai is looking for a versatile, technically proficient Multimedia Designer & Creative Producer to join our creative team, supporting projects across the 5th business Group of Agencies.
We're looking for someone who brings together strong graphic design fundamentals, creative thinking, video production capabilities and advanced knowledge of modern creative technologies, including artificial intelligence.
This is a hands-on creative production role for someone who enjoys making things happen. You'll work across multiple clients, brands and industries, developing ideas and producing high-quality creative assets for digital, social, video, print and corporate communications.
AI proficiency is central to this position. We want someone who already incorporates AI and automation into their everyday creative workflows to improve efficiency, accelerate production and expand what's creatively possible. Just as importantly, you'll know when traditional design skills, creative judgment and hands-on craftsmanship are required.
You'll report to a Senior Art Director, working collaboratively with agency teams to turn creative briefs and campaign concepts into compelling, polished work.
We're looking for someone who can contribute ideas, work independently, manage multiple assignments and consistently deliver excellent creative work at an efficient pace.

- Incorporate typography, transitions, audio, captions and motion graphics to enhance visual storytelling.
- Repurpose and adapt video content for different platforms, audiences and formats.

AI-Enabled Creative Production
This is a fundamental part of the role, not an occasional responsibility.

- Apply AI and automation to eliminate repetitive tasks, accelerate asset adaptation and improve overall production throughput.

AI & Modern Creative Technology
We expect candidates to have meaningful hands-on experience with several contemporary creative and AI tools, which may include:
- Adobe Firefly and AI-enabled Adobe Creative Cloud features.
- Claude and other generative AI platforms for creative development and workflow support.
- Envato or comparable AI production generative platforms
- AI-powered image enhancement, background removal, retouching, captioning and video editing applications.

What Will Make You Successful
You're a capable designer with strong creative instincts who enjoys the challenge of producing great work across different media and industries.
You're equally comfortable coming up with a visual concept, designing a polished print piece, building a set of digital ads or editing a compelling social video.
You're naturally curious about new technology and have already made AI part of how you work, rather than something you're just beginning to explore.
You understand that creative quality and production efficiency go hand in hand. You can work quickly without becoming careless, manage your own priorities and maintain momentum across multiple assignments.
Most importantly, you're a hands-on creator who takes pride in delivering exceptional finished work, not simply presenting ideas.
What We Offer
- Competitive salary, commensurate with experience.
- Benefits and a hybrid working environment.
- Opportunities to work across multiple agencies, clients and industries.
- A collaborative creative environment with experienced strategic and creative professionals.
- Opportunities to work with emerging AI technologies and help shape more efficient creative production processes.
- Professional development and exposure to a broad range of creative disciplines.
How to Apply
Please submit your résumé and a portfolio demonstrating your capabilities across graphic design, digital content, video and print production.
We are particularly interested in seeing how you use AI as part of your creative workflow. Candidates are encouraged to provide one or two examples of projects where AI tools helped improve creative execution, accelerate production or expand the possibilities of the final work.
Your portfolio should demonstrate both strong creative judgment and the ability to deliver polished, production-ready assets.
