WHO WE ARE

We are Sila, a next generation battery materials company dedicated to accelerating energy transformation for a more sustainable planet.

WHO YOU ARE

You’ve picked up a lot of skills in your career and are just as astute at designing for digital spaces (social, web, email) as you are for print, events, swag, etc. You love content in all of its forms and can ideate and execute to perfection whether creating a video, interactive experience, or sales collateral.You’re also very comfortable directing agency and production partners to help execute on larger projects. 

 

You enjoy creative collaboration and partnering heavily with a copy-focused counterpart. You’re also good at understanding client/stakeholder needs and delivering work that exceeds their expectations.
