The Role
My client are looking for a Senior Experience Designer to originate bold ideas and design experiences that people remember. You’ll take on high-value briefs, develop the creative concept, and shape every aspect of the experience — from the overall idea and spatial design to the sensory details that make it feel meaningful and memorable.

- Proven experience developing creative concepts for major pitches and RFPs, ideally with budgets of €500k+.
- Experience creating ideas that connect with audiences and deliver measurable impact.
- Ability to take an idea from a blank page through to experience design, spatial thinking and sensory detail.
- Strong understanding of how successful experiences are measured and evaluated.
