Snr Creative / Creative Director (Conceptual) - Global Creative Agency - London.

This is an opportunity for a Creative Director who wants to shape work that genuinely cuts through. The role sits at the heart of a creatively ambitious, collaborative agency environment, leading high-profile global campaigns across complex, fast-moving categories. It’s a chance to take big ideas from the initial spark to final execution, influencing not just the work but the people and culture around it.

They are looking for an accomplished Creative Director to join a senior team of creative and content specialists. This leadership role offers the opportunity to steer high-profile, global campaigns across complex and influential categories. The ideal candidate is a highly conceptual creative with a proven ability to deliver bold, category-defining ideas for both B2C and B2B audiences. Equal parts thinker and maker, they bring precision, craft, and detail to every execution and thrive on moving seamlessly between the pace of a newsroom and the pressure of a pitch.

Who you are

• A creative leader: You bring conceptual flair and meticulous craft to every brief - big, or small, B2B or niche B2C - and inspire others to do the same. You have a strong track record of creating bold, culture-shaping work recognised by clients, audiences, and the industry. You thrive in complex spaces and love finding meaningful connections in surprising places.
• A brilliant storyteller: You have 10+ years of experience as a top agency creative, but a lifelong obsession with great storytelling. This is supplemented with the editorial instincts to create work that even the most ad-sceptic audiences will value and share.
• An integrated thinker: You don’t just create; you solve problems. You are audience-focused, strategically-minded, and all about creating work that connects the dots full-funnel across a breadth of formats and channels.
• A hands-on creator-maker: Given the opportunity, you’d do it all, from conception to execution. Now, empowered by AI tools, you’re pushing to defy agency labels and reimagine the way you create.
• A tech enthusiast: While experience with consumer tech brands is a plus, a willingness to get in the weeds of complex products is a must.

What you’ll do

• Concepting: Develop fame-building brand platforms from which great executions can be built. Land cut-through creative concepts that nail the brief and get clients excited. Build out ideas for campaignable moments spanning from earned activations that win media attention through to owned content that repays it. Clearly communicate creative vision; collaborate with Art Directors and colleagues to develop storyboards, scripts, treatments and films that make concepts feel real. Shape brand and product narratives that are designed to span multiple formats, channels, audiences, from documentary films and social content to keynote presentations. Stay ahead of industry trends, news, and culture to keep work relevant and sharp.
• Craft and copy: Bring the highest standards of craft to creative work from concept to execution across every format. Move hearts and minds with world-class copy craft in short and long-format across all mediums (scripts, manifestos, social, and web). Bring editorial rigor and narrative structure to every story - and can show a track record for making complex topics consistently compelling for B2B and B2C audiences. Make the medium the message in every deck, with deft storytelling touches running through every creative presentation. Be meticulous about the detail to produce work that delivers both creative craft and credible substance.
• Leadership: Lead pitches, creative presentations, and sell conceptual work to clients. Respond appropriately to client and colleague feedback - be able to interrogate, adapt and defend work. Manage complex workstreams under deadline pressure. Mentor and steer the work of colleagues, fostering a culture of creative excellence. Own creative standards, apply discerning creative judgement and maintain a forensic eye for detail. Collaborate with Creative partners, ECDs, Strategy Directors, and Art teams.
