As a Senior Design Director, Creative Studio at JPMorganChase within the Design & Customer Experience team, you will lead a world-class in-house Creative Studio, directing a multi-disciplinary team of designers and copywriters to deliver market-leading creative work across the UK, Germany and wider Europe in line with the firm’s expansion plans.
Partnering closely with Marketing leadership and key business stakeholders, you will ensure every creative output is strategically aligned, brand-consistent, and built to resonate with customers across every channel and touchpoint.
This is a rare opportunity to shape the creative identity and output of a globally recognised financial institution, with influence spanning digital, social, print, video, broadcast, and beyond. Reporting to the Chief Marketing Officer with a matrix alignment to the MD of Design and Design organisation, you will sit at the intersection of brand strategy and customer experience — championing creative excellence and driving meaningful impact at scale.
You will be at the forefront of harnessing AI technologies that can help to increase the velocity, scale and impact of creative output whilst ensuring we maintain the highest quality standards and follow ethical principles that maintain trust in our brands. Being a catalyst for this change and supporting your team with tools and training will be a key requirement of the role.
