The role
We are looking for a Russian-speaking Senior Creative who leads with thinking and doing. You will own concept development from brief to platform, working upstream with strategy and downstream with production suppliers to bring ideas to life. You are primarily a maker, as well as an architect of ideas who understands what execution demands and can direct it with authority.
This is a senior position. You will be expected to operate with minimal oversight, generate original platforms and consistently produce work that is both strategically sound and creatively distinctive. We work on high-stakes communication challenges where audience understanding matters more than visibility. You would report directly into the Creative Director and will collaborate with an internal creative team.
What you will do
• Translate complex, multi-layered briefs into clear creative platforms
• Generate ideas that are rooted in audience insight and built for the environments where those audiences live.
• Write and design with precision across all formats, from a single line of copy to full campaign styleframes.
• Brief and direct external production suppliers to a high standard.
• Present ideas with confidence and clarity to internal and external stakeholders.
What we are looking for
• Fluency in Russian. Non-negotiable. We will test you.
• Deep cultural expertise across Eastern Europe. We don’t want passing familiarity, but a genuine understanding of how identity, history and sentiment vary meaningfully across its people. This region is not a monolith and candidates who treat it as one will not succeed here.
• A portfolio that shows the thinking behind the work. We want to see the insight that unlocked your idea.
• A proven track record of campaign development from insight through to execution, with work that demonstrates both strategic rigour and creative originality.
• Experience making work that earns trust through cultural authenticity rather than overt brand presence. You are comfortable when the work speaks louder than the name behind it.
• A strong, instinctive understanding of how ideas travel across social and digital culture.
• Exceptional visual thinking and copywriting.
• The capacity to run parallel workstreams across multiple briefs simultaneously without quality becoming a casualty of pace.
• Experience in public engagement or campaigns where shifting mindset was the objective.
• The ability to hold complexity in your head and turn it into something simple, yet sharp.
• Hands-on production experience is useful but not a deciding factor.
What we are not looking for
• Executors who need a concept handed to them
• People who confuse busyness with output
• Portfolio padding or process for its own sake
• If your best work is a mood board, keep looking.
How we work
• Small team, high expectations
• No tolerance for bloat
• We move quickly, we argue productively and we hold each other to the standard of the work
