Thinkerbell is looking for an amazing Lead Tinker (Senior Art Director / Associate Creative Director - Art) to join our team of Thinkers and Tinkers in Melbourne, Australia. Yes, that is a little further past Dover...
HOW YOU’LL CREATE MEASURED MAGIC
What the hell is a Tinker? We’re glad you asked. Basically, you’re a creative person in the world of advertising. You may have a background in words, or production, or design, or filmmaking, or art direction (or all of the above) - we don’t mind. A Tinker pulls things apart and puts them back together again. They love playing with ideas and bringing them to life. They fiddle and poke and prod until their ideas are working just right. They love coming up with ideas and they love getting those ideas out into the world for everyone else to enjoy.
THE TASK AT HAND
As a Lead Tinker, you’ll be developing your creative leadership skills within our agency and will be responsible for creative leadership across a selection of clients. You’ll help mentor and support our more junior Tinker team and provide guidance and support across key projects/accounts. You will collaborate with our Thinkers and Tinkers to produce ambitious and innovative work for our clients. You’ll need to take the reins and help us build and nurture our brand, our business and our clients.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
You'll have three big things to do:
-
BIG CREATIVE THINKING You bring big, awesome, scary ideas to the table. You know what a big idea is, how it looks and behaves and more importantly, how to wrestle one to the ground.
-
DEVELOPING CREATIVE LEADERSHIP You’re starting to know how to lead yourself to your best thinking. You still need guidance, but can be left alone to work shit out for yourself. And you’re starting to develop an interest in leading others around you too.
-
ACT LIKE A CREATIVE, THINK LIKE A CLIENT You’re working out when to do the right idea, for right now. You know not everything is Cannes gold, and your skills excel when doing the right idea, as well as when doing the stuff that makes you a little bit giddy with excitement.
