What they need -
- Someone who is a strong creative practitioner first and foremost, with the ability to develop concepts, shape ideas and personally deliver high-quality creative rather than simply reviewing or delegating work. You'll need strong visual judgement, craft and the confidence to challenge briefs and push creative further
- A designer with a genuinely digital-first mindset, with proven experience creating consumer-facing work across ecommerce, websites, CRM, social and other digital channels. Experience within a DTC or digitally-led consumer business is particularly relevant, with the majority of the business's customer interaction taking place online
- Someone who has already stepped into creative leadership, with experience managing, mentoring or developing other creatives. You don't need to have led a huge team, but you do need to know how to build confidence, give constructive feedback and help designers become stronger conceptual thinkers

You'll need to find the creative opportunity within those guardrails rather than defaulting to the safest possible solution

- Creative concept development, visual storytelling and exceptional design craft, with a strong eye for typography, layout, composition and brand consistency
- Digital-first brand design across ecommerce, CRM, customer journeys, social, digital content and performance-focused channels
- Art direction across photography, video and content, with the confidence to work with internal creatives, production partners and external agencies
- Developing and delivering omnichannel creative across digital, retail, packaging, POS, events and integrated campaigns while maintaining a consistent brand experience
