We’re looking for a design leader with talent anchored by strong skills, expertise gained from real experience, confidence that goes beyond the surface, and charisma that is undeniable. A bona fide super-star who passionately fights against mediocrity whether they are designing a special edition of a premium spirit or a budget laundry detergent. A true believer in the power of design to change the world in positive ways for a more diverse, inclusive and sustainable future. The real deal that clients can trust and designers can follow.
As a solid client relationship builder and liaison, you are able to gain their confidence and translate their needs back to the designers. As a problem solver with robust strategic sensibilities, you’ll are able to rationally link creative solutions to consumer insights and market dynamics. And as a mentor, you are able to impart your knowledge in a way that supports, challenges and empowers your mentees to grow.
Our ideal candidate will have 6+ years of agency experience with a portfolio that shines with brilliant work across an array of FMCG categories including significant examples in beauty and spirits. You will have a deep, intuitive understanding of how brands work and how this is evolving, garnered from working with well-established global brands as well as local gems and challengers. You will use inspiration and positive reinforcement to lead creative teams in the delivery of work that is strategically sound, aesthetically beautiful, genuinely purposeful and culturally relevant.
