We’re supporting a trusted, mission-driven brand that’s investing heavily in elevating its creative and brand presence. With a loyal customer base and a renewed strategic focus, they’re building a dynamic internal Creative Studio to power their next stage of growth. They’re now hiring a Creative Studio Lead to shape and deliver high-impact design and content outputs across all customer touchpoints—bringing fresh energy, strategic thinking, and creative excellence to the heart of the business.

Why this role stands out:

• Creative leadership: Own the day-to-day output of a multidisciplinary in-house studio, leading a team of designers, copywriters, videographers, and content specialists.
• Brand evolution: Play a central role in the business’s brand transformation journey, helping build a distinctive, modern identity that deepens customer engagement.

• Studio management: Build and manage efficient creative workflows from brief to execution, balancing priorities and driving operational excellence.
• Cross-functional collaboration: Partner closely with marketing, product, and commercial teams to ensure creative outputs are insight-led and commercially effective.

What they’re looking for:

• 7+ years of creative leadership experience, ideally within fast-paced, multi-channel environments. This may be from a creative agency background, or in-house within a regulated or high-trust industry (e.g., SaaS, EdTech, utilities, health, financial services or consumer services).
• Strong portfolio demonstrating brand evolution, creative campaign development, and content leadership.
• Expertise across design, copy, digital content creation, and campaign execution.
• Team leadership experience, able to inspire and develop a high-performing creative team.
• Collaborative and commercially-minded, with excellent stakeholder management skills.
