• Interrogate client briefs and define a clear strategic direction for how a brand should show up in real life.
• Translate that direction into a coherent experiential approach, spanning environment, narrative, content and audience journey.
• Develop creative concepts that deliver against that approach, ensuring they are both distinctive and effective.
• Design experiences with impact beyond the physical moment, building in content and amplification from the outset.
• Work closely with strategy, production and client teams to ensure ideas are grounded, deliverable and commercially viable.
• Shape how ideas are expressed, from pitch narratives through to key moments within the live experience.
• Contribute to defining what Audience’s mindset looks like in practice, connecting insight, creativity and behaviour.

• 5+ years in a creative role within brand experience, events, or physical environments (architecture, theatre, spatial design or similar).
• Able to take a loose or imperfect brief and shape it into a clear strategic and creative direction.
• Understands how to design experiences that drive behaviour, content and measurable impact, not just attention.
• Confident leading creative thinking across a project, from early‑stage pitches through to live delivery.
• Visually fluent, able to guide designers and external partners without needing to be hands‑on in execution.
• Strong storyteller, both in decks and in the room, with the ability to bring people with you.
• Comfortable working in ambiguity and shaping direction, not waiting to be told what to do.
• Has a point of view on culture, content and creativity, and knows how to apply it constructively.

We have an open, collaborative culture that values ownership, curiosity and proactive behaviour. We offer flexible working arrangements, steady training and development budgets, and pathways for progression.

Curious. Proactive. Detail‑focused. The kind of people who take ownership, bring ideas to the table, and enjoy the process as much as the outcome.

No clock‑watching here. We’ve removed fixed working hours, giving you the flexibility to shape your day around when you’re most productive and we’ve created spaces to promote collaboration and calm in the office.

Whether you’re sharpening your skills or stepping up to something new, we invest in your journey with training, development budgets, and clear paths.

Our space is where ideas bounce, evolve, and come to life. Expect energy, openness, and a team that celebrates wins together in meetings and at socials.

From healthcare and mental well‑being support to enhanced parental leave and meaningful time off, we’ve built benefits that actually support real life.

Well‑stocked kitchen, dogs in the office, health plans, decent parental leave, extra holiday and small extras that make your day better.
