Role: Associate Creative Director
Term: 3 months
Full Time
Location: London - 2/3 days on site
We are looking for a hands-on, design-led Associate Creative Director who combines strong conceptual thinking with the ability to make and improve the work. You will develop pitch-winning, award-worthy ideas while working side by side with designers, copywriters, animators, and other creatives to bring them to life. You will be comfortable opening files, building decks, finding references, developing storyboards, and offering clear, practical guidance throughout production.
We are looking for a curious and versatile creative with experience across different disciplines, formats, and types of work. You might be a design-led art director, a multidisciplinary designer, or a creative generalist who has grown into leadership.
You will also bring structure to a fast-moving account. Lead several projects at once, keep priorities and responsibilities clear, organize feedback and decisions, while being able to identify creative or production risks before they become problems.
