About The Role

Our client is growing their creative team and are looking for a Senior Digital Creative who thinks as sharply as they design.

• Building scalable design systems with a true variables mindset, components, tokens and theming that work at scale across complex brand ecosystems.
• Actively pushing the creative process forward using AI and emerging tools, not as a novelty, but as genuine creative accelerators.
• Presenting ideas with confidence and clarity to clients and stakeholders at all levels.
• Helping shape how h2o approaches digital creative as we grow, your influence will extend beyond your own output.

• Actively using AI tools to push work further.

Mindset & Approach

• Intelligently creative, you balance bold ideas with strategic thinking and a sharp eye for what actually works.
• Digital-first by instinct, you think in channels, formats and interactions, not just visuals.
• A genuine curiosity for what’s next, you explore new tools and technologies because you want to, not because you have to.
• Easy to work with, you build strong relationships across teams and take the time to understand the brief properly.
• A confident communicator who can articulate an idea as clearly as they can craft one.
• Committed to doing things properly, from the concept through to completion.
• A self-starter who brings energy, fresh thinking and new ideas without being asked.

Your Portfolio

Show us your thinking, not just your output. We want to understand how you move from a brief concept to the result, the process matters as much as the finished work. Case studies that demonstrate systems thinking, campaign-level concepts, or smart use of AI in your creative workflow will stand out. If your portfolio tells a story, we want to read it.
