This is an opportunity for a Creative Director who wants to shape work that genuinely cuts through.
The role sits at the heart of a creatively ambitious, collaborative agency environment, leading high-profile global campaigns across complex, fast-moving categories.
It’s a chance to take big ideas from the initial spark to final execution, influencing not just the work but the people and culture around it.
They are looking for an accomplished Creative Director to join a senior team of creative and content specialists. This leadership role offers the opportunity to steer high-profile, global campaigns across complex and influential categories.
The ideal candidate is a highly conceptual creative with a proven ability to deliver bold, category-defining ideas for both B2C and B2B audiences. Equal parts thinker and maker, they bring precision, craft, and detail to every execution and thrive on moving seamlessly between the pace of a newsroom and the pressure of a pitch.
Who you are
A creative leader: You bring conceptual flair and meticulous craft to every brief - big, or small, B2B or niche B2C - and inspire others to do the same. You have a strong track record of creating bold, culture-shaping work recognised by clients, audiences, and the industry. You thrive in complex spaces and love finding meaningful connections in surprising places.
A brilliant storyteller: You have 10+ years of experience as a top agency creative, but a lifelong obsession with great storytelling. This is supplemented with the editorial instincts to create work that even the most ad-sceptic audiences will value and share.
An integrated thinker: You don’t just create; you solve problems. You are audience-focused, strategically-minded, and all about creating work that connects the dots full-funnel across a breadth of formats and channels.
A hands-on creator-maker: Given the opportunity, you’d do it all, from conception to execution. Now, empowered by AI tools, you’re pushing to defy agency labels and reimagine the way you create.
A tech enthusiast: While experience with consumer tech brands is a plus, a willingness to get "in the weeds" of complex products is a must.
