They solve the most complex challenges for some of the country's most respected household names in the beverage, telecommunications, and CPG sectors. We are currently looking for an experienced designer to join their creative department as a leader, champion, and culture builder who will inspire, mentor, and elevate their work to the next level.

- Lead the visual realization of creative concepts across multiple mediums, including brand identities, campaigns, activations, packaging and experiential activations.
- Act as the final design authority - pushing work further, refining details, and ensuring ideas are expressed with clarity and craft.
- You'll have the opportunity to also art direct the look and feel of campaigns and concepts.
- Collaborate closely with our full team to shape ideas early - ensuring design thinking is present from the start, not layered on later.
- Partner with the creative team on larger projects to develop and evolve concepts through to final delivery.
- Lead the creation of high-impact visual mocks, hero imagery, and design systems for pitch decks and presentations.
- Lead, mentor, and grow the design team - providing clear direction, thoughtful feedback, and hands-on coaching.
- Foster a supportive, challenging, and inspiring environment.
- Manage and direct internal design resources, ensuring work is delivered at a high standard and on schedule.
- Champion a design-first culture - advocating for quality, craft, and creative ambition across the agency.
- Oversee projects from concept to completion, ensuring final outputs are production-ready and true to the idea sold.
- Ensure accuracy, consistency, and quality across all final files - print, digital, and experiential.
- Interpret and respond to client feedback with strategic intent, protecting the integrity of the work while evolving it.
- Manage shifting priorities and timelines while maintaining momentum, clarity, and calm leadership.
