About the role
Based in the sports industry, with a focus on nutrition and lifestyle, this is a leading brand now looking to grow its team to go well and truly global, so they’re on the hunt for an exceptional Creative Lead to help them achieve their mission.
This content studio role is being created to meet the momentum and to bring senior craft to a brief that genuinely needs it.
The Role
You’ll be the senior craft lead in the studio: the person who takes concepts from briefing to finished creative across two brands. Working alongside the Creative Director from the earliest stage, you’ll own day-to-day art direction and design across campaigns, product launches, commerce, social and retail.
The channel breadth is vast: D2C, paid social, retail point-of-sale and international distributor partnerships. You’ll adapt central concepts across markets, hold brand consistency across every touchpoint, and direct external photographers, editors and videographers through the Production Lead.
Brand focus shifts with the season – endurance campaigns at one point, lifestyle and community activity at another. You’ll also mentor one in-house designer and help build creative capability as the team grows. The design-versus-direction split is deliberately fluid for now, so you’ll need to be comfortable bringing order to that, and confident returning quickly with ideas.
The Package
£60,000 – 65,000
Hybrid working
25 days holiday plus bank holidays
Dedicated learning and development budget
On-site gym facility
International travel across shoots
Staff discounts across the product range
Flexibility expected for shoots, content capture and off-site activity
The Person
A Senior Designer, Art Director or Creative Lead, several years into a craft-heavy career, brand-side or agency. You can lead art direction across integrated, digital and retail work, have mentored designers, and still like being at the desk.
Our ideal candidate is happy working closely with production, genuinely interested in sport and fitness, with some welcome packaging knowledge too!
