About the team: Managing a team of 4 designers, this is a senior, high‑impact design leadership role for someone who sets the bar high – creatively, strategically, and operationally.
About the role: We’re looking for a modern design leader, and strong executor. Someone who can turn complex, data‑heavy B2B propositions into confident, compelling visual narratives. Someone who obsesses over craft, but equally understands systems, scale, and influence. Someone who can lead a team, and elevate standards across the business.
You’ll own how our brand shows up and how clearly and credibly it communicates value.
Responsibilities:
* Lead, raise standards, and shape the function: Lead and manage a distributed in‑house design team, setting a clear creative standard while owning design planning, resourcing, and delivery across multiple workstreams, and establishing scalable systems and workflows that balance quality and speed.
* Define and deliver modern B2B creative: Serve as the final creative authority and brand guardian, leading end‑to‑end creative direction on flagship initiatives while remaining hands‑on in delivering high‑quality work and translating complex insight and strategy into compelling visual stories for senior audiences.
* Influence and partnership: Act as a trusted creative partner to senior stakeholders, confidently challenging briefs, elevating thinking, and presenting clear, credible creative rationale to deliver high‑impact solutions without compromising quality.
* Evolve the brand: Continuously evolve brand guidelines to reflect ambition and credibility, introducing new tools and ways of working where appropriate to keep the brand visually progressive, differentiated, and effective for a global B2B audience.
Requirements:
* Senior‑level design experience within a corporate B2B environment
* In‑house experience is essential – you understand scale, stakeholders, and long‑term brand building
* Proven experience leading and developing designers
* A portfolio that demonstrates conceptual strength, craft, as well as execution
* Experience working closely with senior stakeholders in commercially driven organisations
Craft & technical excellence
* Expert proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite
* Strong typography, layout, and visual storytelling skills
* High‑level presentation design capability (PowerPoint)
* Experience designing across digital platforms, campaigns, events, and print ecosystems
Mindset & behaviours
* Sets the creative bar and raises it
* Strategic thinker with strong executional judgement
* Positive, open and pragmatic; confident but collaborative
* Calm under pressure, decisive, and delivery‑focused
* Curious about new tools, emerging design practices, and smarter ways of working
