Job Title: Creative Lead - Maternity Cover Manager:
Creative Director
Location: UK (London hybrid/remote)
Contract Type: 12 month contract

This role is about providing senior creative leadership across MES's video and design output while the current Creative Lead is on maternity leave, setting and protecting the quality of performance marketing content for the team, and developing new creative territory as the brand system matures.

You'll give creative and quality feedback to the design and edit team, take on design and visual direction of MES's brand toolkits once handed over from the Creative Director, and partner with the Copy Lead on scripts for performance marketing content.

Experience creating content at scale for performance marketing is a must.

• Give creative and quality feedback to the design and edit team on work in progress
• Take on design and visual direction of MES's brand toolkits in partnership with the Brand Content Lead, who owns copy content.
• Develop new creative concepts and content options - particularly moving beyond recycling existing content into the new brand system.
• Partner with the Copy Lead on script writing for performance marketing content.
• Set the quality standard reflected in briefs, in partnership with the Studio Manager, who handles the logistics of getting that brief to the team.

• Senior creative role (art direction, design lead, or similar) with direct experience giving feedback to a team of makers.
• Comfortable stepping into an existing brand system and toolkit rather than building one from scratch.
• Scriptwriting or close scriptwriting collaboration experience for short-form video
• Confident being hands on and mentoring/feeding back to a team of designers and editors.
