Descrizione del lavoro

Quiet confidence, by design.

The Calile is a place people feel before they can describe it: the light, the materials, the calm of an urban resort in the heart of James Street. Every touchpoint, from a campaign film to the menu in your hand, carries that feeling. We are looking for a Head of Creative to own it.

This is a senior leadership role with genuine creative authority. You will set the creative direction for The Calile, lead a team of two (with future expansion) and will have a seat at the table where campaigns, launches and guest experiences are shaped with marketing, not simply where they are delivered. It suits someone who originates the idea and has the craft to see it through.

What you will own

• Creative direction and brand guardianship across every channel: digital, social, print, signage, in-hotel and partnerships
• Brand campaign concepts and narratives, from first idea to final asset
• Photography and video, from briefing and art direction to styling and on-set direction
• Leadership of the in-house creative team, and management of agencies, photographers and freelancers
• Creative budgets, timelines and a studio workflow that balances quality with pace
• Close partnership with teams across the hotel, turning business priorities into work that performs

What you will bring

• 5+ years in a senior creative role within luxury, lifestyle, hospitality, fashion or architecture
• A portfolio that shows conceptual thinking and brand storytelling, not just polish
• Experience leading creative teams and managing external agencies
• A strong command of brand architecture, visual identity, tone of voice, typography, layout and cross-channel execution
• Hands-on experience directing photo and video production
• Commercial judgement: you know how to make work that is both beautiful and effective
• Strong financial acumen, with experience setting and managing creative budgets, controlling costs and demonstrating return on creative investment
• A degree in Graphic Design, Visual Arts or a related field, or equivalent experience

Tools of the trade

Expert in Adobe Creative Cloud and Figma. Experience with web platforms (Webflow or similar, HTML/CSS) and video editing (Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro or DaVinci Resolve) is a bonus.

What we offer

• Competitive salary plus a performance bonus
• The chance to lead the creative voice of one of Australia’s most recognised design hotels
• TFE discounts on accommodation and food & beverage in Australia and overseas, plus partner organisations such as Medibank Private
• Archie – Reward Gateway discounts with 500+ retailers
• James Street precinct perks and entitlements
• Birthday leave, life leave and extended parental leave
• Daily duty meal, unlimited barista coffee on duty and discounted parking at a flat $7/day
