Designation: Manager - Design
Office Location: Mumbai
Position Description
We are looking for a Manager – Design to drive the technical development and execution of rich media, interactive and dynamic advertising solutions for mediasmart. This is a hands-on role at the intersection of design and technology, focused on building, developing and optimising digital advertising experiences across mobile, web, CTV and other programmatic environments. The ideal candidate should have a strong understanding of HTML5, CSS and JavaScript, along with practical experience in rich media formats and interactive advertising.
What You'll Do
Develop and execute rich media, interactive and high-impact advertising formats across mobile, web and other digital environments.
Translate creative concepts and campaign briefs into technically functional, engaging and responsive ad experiences.
Build and customise HTML5-based ad creatives using HTML, CSS and JavaScript.
Work on Dynamic Creative Optimisation (DCO), including dynamic content integration, creative personalisation and asset variations.
Integrate creative elements with campaign data, audience signals, location and other contextual parameters.
Ensure creatives are compatible with different devices, operating systems, browsers and advertising environments.
Work closely with Design, Product, Engineering, Sales and Campaign Operations teams to deliver creative solutions within campaign timelines.
Test, troubleshoot and optimise creatives for functionality, rendering, loading speed and overall performance.
Ensure adherence to advertising specifications, platform guidelines and ad-quality standards.
Maintain reusable creative templates, technical documentation and development best practices.
Explore new technologies, tools and formats to improve creative development and execution.
Support the development of bespoke creative solutions for strategic client campaigns.
What We're Looking For
3–7 years of experience in digital creative development, rich media, interactive advertising or creative technology.
Strong hands-on experience in developing HTML5-based advertising creatives.
Proficiency in HTML5, CSS and JavaScript.
Practical experience with rich media formats, interactive ad units and dynamic creatives.
Understanding of DCO, creative personalisation and programmatic advertising environments.
Familiarity with mobile advertising formats, ad specifications, ad servers and third-party tracking integrations.
Experience in testing, debugging and optimising creatives across devices and platforms.
Exposure to CTV, DOOH or cross-screen advertising formats would be an advantage.
Good understanding of design principles and the ability to translate visual concepts into functional digital experiences.
Strong problem-solving skills, attention to detail and ability to manage multiple deliverables.
Ability to work effectively with cross-functional teams and manage creative development timelines.
The Person We're Looking For
We are looking for a hands-on creative technologist who enjoys building as much as designing. Someone who understands how digital advertising works behind the scenes and can bring creative ideas to life through code. This is not a conventional graphic design role. The ideal candidate should be comfortable working with HTML5, CSS and JavaScript, developing interactive ad formats, troubleshooting technical challenges and delivering high-quality creative experiences for programmatic advertising.
