Over the last 14 years Aje has carefully built a culture where our people are supported, inspired and encouraged to be the best they can.

- Assisting the Creative Director with fashion show and event preparation

- Knowledge of Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, After Effects, FinalCut/Premiere
- Eye for detail and strong visual understanding of brand DNA
- Forward planning and priority assessment to ensure all tasks allocated are met with the ability to organise competing priorities across the Creative Directors and personal daily tasks
- Excellent copy writing and communication skills
