Job Description
Help define the next generation of Living Brands
At MultiAdaptor, we believe the world's best brands are living brands—brands that evolve, connect and create lasting impact. We partner with ambitious technology businesses to create distinctive brands that drive growth, combining strategic thinking with exceptional creativity and craft.
We're looking for an exceptional Creative Director to lead our creative vision, champion our people and help define the next chapter of MultiAdaptor.
This is a rare opportunity to shape not only the work we produce, but the culture we create and the people we develop. You'll lead the creative vision across the agency, inspiring a talented multidisciplinary team to produce the best work of their careers while ensuring every project delivers against our high standards of strategic thinking, creative excellence and commercial impact.
Working alongside our Executive Creative Director, Managing Director and Strategy Director, you'll balance bold creative ambition with the realities of running a successful independent agency. You'll be equally comfortable defining the creative direction for complex brand transformation programmes, presenting confidently to clients, mentoring senior designers, solving delivery challenges and helping shape the future growth of the business.
If you're an inspiring leader with impeccable creative judgement, deep brand expertise and an infectious passion for developing people, we'd love to hear from you.
Why join MultiAdaptor?
This is more than a Creative Director role—it's an opportunity to influence the future of an ambitious independent branding agency.
You'll work with global technology businesses on strategically led brand transformation projects spanning identity, digital, motion, campaigns and brand experience. You'll have the autonomy to shape our creative standards, influence how we work, develop exceptional creative talent and play a defining role in the next stage of MultiAdaptor's growth.
If you're excited by combining world-class creative with hands-on leadership, genuine collaboration and the opportunity to leave a lasting mark on an agency, you'll feel at home here.
