About The Role
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.
Responsibilities
- 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.
