What you'll own:
- Creative direction and client strategy: from brief to delivery
- Line management and development of the design team
- New business pitches and client presentations
- HLabs' external creative identity: events, website, awards
- AI integration across the creative team
You’ll be a strong fit if you:
- Have proven CD experience in a digital or creative agency
- Lead through empathy and hold high standards without hardness
- Bring proposals, not problems
- Know your way around Figma, Adobe Suite, and no-code platforms like Webflow, Ceros and Framer
- Thrive when the brief evolves and the deadline is tight
