About the Position

It’s nearly impossible to express how absolutely crucial it is to have a solid design director on your team – but we’re going to try…

They’ve got the collaborative spirit needed to work on global projects for multinational brands as well as entrepreneurial challengers, and are willing to dig in and do the work needed to ensure a project is successful. Sticklers for detail, they make it a point of personal integrity to uphold the highest creative standards.

Ideal candidates will have the following:

• A Stunning Portfolio: Filled with design work that makes you proud and makes our hearts skip a beat.
• Industry Experience: 8+ years with a FMCG packaging-focused brand design agency.
• Think Slow, Think Fast: Able to bring strategic thinking to all stages of the process, whilst also being able to ideate on their feet in front of clients.
• Leadership Skills: Confident in their approach in providing positive motivation and mentorship to less experienced designers.
• A Positive Outlook: A friendly face with thick skin and an unrelenting enthusiasm for brilliant design.

Our new Design Director will receive all the industry-standard perks they’d expect, as well as actual work-life balance in a world-class studio that’s a stone’s throw away from the shores of Cornwall and the mountains of Wales.
