A key part of the position will be building the foundations of the team. This includes establishing processes and structures, setting up systems for documentation and filing, and developing clear protocols from initial client brief through to final handover. The role suits an individual with vision who is comfortable setting something up from scratch while simultaneously overseeing live projects with the support of a growing team.
The successful candidate is likely to bring a strong blend of creative leadership and operational capability. They will enjoy working within a design-led environment while understanding the importance of structure, efficiency, and accountability.
The first year will be heavily focused on building structure, implementing processes, and ensuring projects are delivered efficiently alongside the creative vision. As such, this is not a purely creative role. It requires someone who can confidently manage both the operational and commercial aspects of a studio environment while nurturing creative output.
This is an exciting opportunity for a Design Director who enjoys shaping teams, setting direction, and building something meaningful within a respected and established brand.
Projects will be global in scope and will require a strong understanding of how to work within established brand guidelines while tailoring design outcomes to suit individual clients. This role is well suited to someone looking to move client-side and take long-term ownership of brand design direction, enjoying the balance between creative expression and working within the parameters of a legacy brand.
