• Team & Agency Management - Lead and grow the internal creative team whilst driving the effectiveness of external agency relationships
• Social, Content & Community - Oversee social media and content activity and ensure presence, tone of voice, and engagement are relevant and engaging to younger audiences
• Partnerships & PR - Drive consumer, trade PR and influencer partnerships and media relationships that build cultural credibility
• Sponsorship/Charity - Identify key sponsorship/partnership opportunities both with existing customers (retail activation) and external teams/events/causes
• Creative Leadership - Manage the design team to produce bold, consistent and high-impact visual content. Play a lead role in planning and executing photo and video shoots to capture high-quality visuals for marketing material
