Design Director

- Location: London

The Studio.
A London-based creative studio working with incredible brands across brand campaigns, product launches, and spatial environments. The quality of the work is already there and the business has made a deliberate decision to invest in this area and grow it. This hire is part of that commitment.
The Role.
This isn't a rescue mission. It's an elevation.
The studio is producing strong work and has a clear opportunity to take it further. What's needed now is a creative leader who can sharpen how ideas connect across channels, build a more defined brand lens through the work, and help everything feel more coherent, more considered, and more distinctive.
You'll come in at a senior level, shaping ideas at campaign level and ensuring they translate consistently across space, content, and experience. You'll lead a multidisciplinary creative team, guide concept development from brief to delivery, and raise the standard without disrupting what already works.
In the early months, success looks like embedding yourself, understanding the studio's voice, and adding clarity to how ideas move across projects. Over time, you'll have genuine influence over how the studio evolves creatively.
What you'll be doing.
Leading creative thinking across brand, campaign, and spatial outputs, not just reviewing it. You'll be the primary ideas driver for your team and the person who holds the creative thread across multiple projects simultaneously.
You'll manage and develop a team of multidisciplinary designers: delegating, critiquing, mentoring, and having the honest conversations when needed. You'll work closely with the Creative Director and Project Managers to scope briefs, manage timelines and budgets, and keep delivery tight without losing quality.
Client relationships are part of the job. You'll present, discuss, and develop the work directly with clients building trust, navigating feedback, and helping grow those relationships beyond individual projects.
Who this suits.
Someone who thinks in brand first and understands how it lives in the real world. Comfortable leading people, shaping ideas across multiple channels, and maintaining coherence without needing to control every pixel.
You'll have a portfolio that shows thinking, not just execution and a track record of elevating the work around you, not just your own.
Who it won't suit.
Someone who works in a single lane, needs rigid structure, or is looking to execute rather than lead. If spatial, campaign, and brand feel like separate worlds to you, this probably isn't the right fit.
Why it's worth a look.
You're not walking into a problem. You're walking into a studio doing genuinely good work, with real creative ambition and the commercial backing to pursue it. The foundations are solid. What's next is building on them.
If you're at the point in your career where you want to take good work and make it sharper, more connected, and more memorable — it's worth a conversation.
