Job Description
Marks, part of the Propelis Group, Marks is a consumer experience agency creating engaging moments across the entire brand spectrum—from brand design and packaging, to content and consumer connections.
We are a collaborative global network of 1,900+ team members across 25+ studios and 20+ countries, partnering with some of the world’s most recognized brands to solve complex business challenges through design, strategy, and craft.
\We're looking for an established Design Director who can balance exceptional creative thinking with confident client leadership, helping shape the future of a flagship account while inspiring the people around them to produce their best work.
\This is a hybrid working role based at our London studio.
\Few opportunities offer the chance to become such an integral part of a globally recognised brand.
\You'll be a trusted partner to the client, helping influence the direction of a category-leading brand and playing a critical role in shaping its future.
\You'll inherit a highly respected account with strong relationships already in place, surrounded by an experienced team who know the brand inside out and genuinely care about producing outstanding work, as the brand itself continues to evolve across new products, occasions, channels and consumer experiences, creating a steady flow of diverse and creatively rewarding challenges.
\You'll lead the creative vision across packaging and broader brand world initiatives, ensuring every piece of work strengthens the brand and drives it forward.
\You'll become a trusted advisor to senior client stakeholders, building confidence through your expertise, strategic thinking and ability to navigate complex conversations with calm authority.
\You'll create an environment where designers are empowered to take ownership, stretch their abilities and grow their careers, while maintaining the high standards expected on a world-class account.
\It's about building trust, bringing people with you and creating the conditions for others to succeed.
\Significant experience leading FMCG, packaging and brand design programmes. \A deep understanding of how brands come to life on pack and beyond. \Strong coaching and mentoring capabilities, with a genuine passion for developing talent. \Outstanding attention to detail and creative craft. \Because opportunities to lead a brand of this scale and significance rarely come along.
\You'll have the freedom to influence creative direction, the support of an experienced team, the trust of long-standing clients, and the opportunity to leave a genuine mark on one of the most recognised brands in the marketplace.
\For the right Design Director, this isn't just another account. It's a career-defining opportunity.
