Job Description

Lead the idea. Build the thing. Own both.

We're not looking for someone who hands off a concept and calls it done. We need a designer who can set the creative direction, take it through approval and then lead a team to bring it to life across every asset, every channel, every deadline.

This is a hands-on leadership role inside a studio of 60-plus people that moves at agency speed. You'll design and develop concepts in a visual language consistent with our brand, and create conceptual positioning, design and campaign elements for existing and new products.

If you've spent your career in agencies delivering real work under real pressure, this will feel familiar, just bigger

What you'll do:

  • Lead the creative execution of projects, overseeing design delivery and maintaining quality, consistency, and alignment with business objectives.
  • Work independently on smaller projects and lead a team of 4-6 creatives on larger ones
  • Co-lead and coordinate the delivery of exceptional ATL and BTL digital campaign elements in collaboration with the Copy Lead
  • Develop the creative concept, get it approved, then drive the team through production, including campaigns of 400-plus assets
  • Be a custodian of the brand from a visual communications design perspective, promoting consistency and quality in all design work
