- Leading and inspiring multidisciplinary design teams
- Setting the creative direction across digital, brand and experience-led projects
- Reviewing work and maintaining a consistently high level of craft
- Mentoring and developing designers at different levels
- Translating strategy and insight into strong creative ideas
- Leading senior client presentations, workshops and pitches
- Working closely with UX, UI, development, strategy and production teams
- Overseeing multiple projects while protecting the quality of the work
- Helping shape the agency’s creative culture and future direction
You’ll need a strong portfolio showing exceptional creative thinking across digital platforms and wider brand experiences, alongside proven experience leading teams and delivering complex projects.
