We're looking for a Senior Creative Designer to join our EMEA creative team for one of our big clients. In this role, you will be a driving force in an innovative group focused on delivering outstanding, boundary-pushing design experiences across digital, social, motion, and AI-driven platforms for one of the world's best-known tech brands. You are a strategic, collaborative storyteller who pairs high-level creative vision with humility. You thrive in an environment that encourages expression, inclusivity, and relentless curiosity. Furthermore, you are a pioneer for the future of AI in design, viewing it as a powerful catalyst for innovation rather than a hurdle.
- Creative Leadership & Partnership: Partner with copywriters, developers, motion specialists, and creative leads to spearhead high-quality integrated visual designs. You will own projects from high-level concept development through to flawless execution across multiple digital platforms.
- Strategic Social Media Architect: Drive the creative and strategic thinking for the client's social media presence. You will develop concepts and design high-impact social assets, ensuring they are culturally relevant, optimised for various platform behaviours, and engineered to drive engagement.
- AI Integration & Innovation: Pioneer the use of AI tools to optimise day-to-day workflows, mentor the wider team on AI adoption, and explore new creative frontiers in both static and animated work.
- Presentation & Persuasion: Act as a compelling voice for the creative team. Communicate effectively across cross-functional groups and persuasively present complex concepts and projects, both internally and to senior client stakeholders.
- Autonomous Problem Solving: Work with a high degree of autonomy to provide innovative solutions to complex creative problems, balancing meticulous attention to detail and quality with tight timelines.
- Brand Stewardship: Maintain an elevated standard of creative quality while strictly applying client brand guidelines, ensuring all work (including AI-assisted output) is visually stunning and brand-aligned.
- Agility & Mentorship: Thrive in a fast-paced environment, digesting complex feedback quickly, developing alternate creative solutions under pressure, and helping guide junior/mid-weight designers through the process.
- Seasoned Creative Leader: 6–8+ years of experience at a top-tier agency or in-house creative team. Your portfolio must demonstrate mastery across web, email, video, and specifically a track record of high-performing, innovative social media campaigns.
- Global Collaborator: Comfortable working autonomously across matrixed teams and time zones, developing concepts for a variety of innovative products in a global, fast-moving environment.
- AI Pioneer: A proactive, advanced interest in emerging AI tools for image generation, motion, and process optimisation. You aren't just experimenting; you are actively looking for ways to elevate the team's output using new tech.
- Master of Design Fundamentals: Expert-level command of typography, illustration, and layout. Rigorous attention to detail is second nature to you, and you set the standard for visual excellence on the team.
- Strategic & UX Thinker: A deep understanding of UX principles and audience psychology. You don't just make things look pretty; you design with purpose, ensuring concepts are both technically achievable and commercially attention-worthy.
- Cultural Catalyst: You foster a positive, energetic, and collaborative spirit on the team, inspiring coworkers to go the extra mile and foster a supportive, psychologically safe creative environment.
- Trend Forecaster: A strong passion for pop culture and a finger on the pulse of what's trending in social media, digital subcultures, and the tech space. You know how to translate internet culture into brand-safe, impactful design.
