Hybrid - 3 days a week London office, 2 days from home - Fantastic opportunity to take on a senior role in a highly regarded and growing agency!
• Event design work at genuine international scale, spanning exhibitions, activations and conferences
• 25 days holiday, birthday day off, private medical insurance, life assurance and pension
• A London studio with a collaborative culture where ideas from the team get backed
The Company
This is a large-scale, independently owned experience marketing agency operating across more than two dozen countries. The creative department spans 2D, 3D, motion, creative technology and strategy, all in-house, which means real collaboration and genuine craft across disciplines. The agency has won significant new UK business in 2026, and the Event Graphic Design Director stepping into this environment will find a strong track record across technology, sports and B2B experiential for global blue-chip brands. People tend to stay once they are in, and the creative output reflects it.
The Role
The Event Graphic Design Director leads the 2D design discipline on large-scale event programmes, working from initial brief through to delivery, with line management of midweight designers and close collaboration with a dedicated 3D designer.
- Lead 2D design across major European event programmes from concept to delivery
- Produce large-format print assets, signage systems and event look-and-feel
- Develop colour palettes and visual identity for physical event environments
- Collaborate closely with the 3D design team on spatial and structural concepts
- Manage and mentor a small team of midweight designers
- Contribute conceptually from initial brief stage across multiple client accounts
The Candidate
The right candidate for the Event Graphic Design Director role has a strong portfolio demonstrating graphic design applied to physical event spaces, with a clear conceptual narrative behind the work. Agency experience is preferred, though a background in a sizeable in-house events team is equally considered.
Experience collaborating with 3D designers, working across international or multi-market programmes, or developing colour systems and brand identity for live environments is all beneficial but not essential. What matters most is the portfolio: physical, spatial, conceptual. This is a role where the Event Graphic Design Director sets the creative standard, and ambition to do that is the baseline.
In return, this is a senior creative seat inside an agency growing fast, with a benefits package that includes private medical insurance and your birthday off. The Event Graphic Design Director hired here will be joining at a genuinely exciting moment for the creative team.
