As a part of the Creative team, you’ll be at the core of what we do at JLR, shaping the future of modern luxury. Working in Vehicle Design, Materiality, Brand Design, Digital Design, Business Planning and Transformation, you’ll collaborate with other creative minds to deliver sustainable solutions using cutting-edge technology. Unleash your creativity on iconic brands. Come, be a proud creator of the exceptional.
JLR vehicles are renowned for their combination of Performance, Luxury, Versatility, and Durability – and now it's time to accelerate our drive to Design Leadership at the highest level of quality.
You will be responsible for the design creation and delivery of all visible exterior parts of vehicles, and will manage a team of designers who will be responsible for the creative processes at the earliest stage of a project, through to the co-ordination of feasible solutions and releases to tooling.
What To Expect
In this role, no two tasks are the same. With lots of projects and relationships to build with people across the business and beyond, it’s a challenge that will help your career grow within an iconic organisation. Here’s what to expect:
* Hands on, able to develop and manage the virtual and physical design properties of their specific project, to the highest level of maturity and refinement
* Lead on specific exterior project and act as a single point of contact for other functions or stakeholders
* Create, develop and implement new creative ideas and challenge conventional thinking in problem solving
* Manage the team and resources to ensure the overall strategic and delivery objectives are met
What You’ll Need
Along with your ambition to achieve the exceptional, there are several skills that you’ll need to have to help you succeed here, including:
* Proven previous experience and ability in illustration and visual evaluation skills to visually and verbally communicate ideas and solutions
* Proven experience of aesthetic judgement of surface, surface juxtaposition and appearance gained in a similar role
* Broad knowledge of engineering and production techniques and processes, and strong market / business acumen
* Previous experience of the generation of designs for production and concept vehicles, including experience of visualising and communicating design solutions in 2D and 3D
* Strong IT skills, particularly with Design related systems, e.g. ALIAS / VRED / Photoshop / Power-Point
* Experience of the automotive industry, including competitor and market awareness
Benefits
This role is rewarding in more ways than one. On top of our core offering, you’ll do extraordinary work with amazing people. In addition, you can expect a wide range of benefits:
* Ability to access a JLR vehicle under our management loan agreement plan
* A 52 week maternity leave policy and a 4 week paternity leave policy. Other parental leave policies are available.
* A competitive pension
* Able to opt-in to a Private Healthcare scheme for you and your immediate family
* A JLR company performance-related bonus
* Access to open, employee-led support and social networks
* Comprehensive Life Assurance and Income Protection policies
Creating Modern Luxury requires a modern approach to work. At JLR, hybrid working is a voluntary, non-contractual arrangement providing employees more choice and flexibility around how, when and where they work. Some roles require more on-site work, but details of this can be discussed with the hiring manager during the interview stage.
We work hard to nurture a culture that is inclusive and welcoming to all. We understand candidates may require reasonable adjustments during the recruitment process. Please discuss these with your recruiter so we can accommodate your needs.
Applicants from all backgrounds are welcome. If you’re unsure that you meet the full criteria of a role – but you're interested in where it could take you – we still encourage you to apply. We believe in people's ability to grow and develop within their role – it’s what makes living the exceptional with soul possible.
JLR is committed to equal opportunity for all.
