Design Director

This agency has built its reputation for rebellious, culturally relevant campaigns that make brands famous. The studio's distinctive aesthetic and collaborative workflow are what make it stand out: everyone works together in real-time within shared design files rather than hierarchical handoffs.

You’ll lead creative direction across a diverse portfolio running 25+ concurrent projects, from social campaigns to branding and web work. This role requires managing multiple high-profile client relationships while nurturing junior and mid-level designers through constant creative dialogue and mentorship, setting the creative standard for taste and experimentation across all output.

The work spans from irreverent social campaigns to elevated brand positioning, requiring someone who can switch effortlessly between serious luxury work and boundary-pushing campaigns that break category conventions.

You’ll report to the Operations Director with close working relationships with the co-founders on major pitches, though day‑to‑day creative leadership sits with you. The studio maintains direct founder access across client relationships, cutting through traditional account management layers.

You want to establish yourself as a creative leader whose thinking defines the quality and ambition of the work, not just execute briefs.

A more diverse team is a more creative team.
