Co-founder and Recruitment Partner at Truffle Talent

We’re on the hunt for a visionary Head of Design to lead creative across a buzzing, fast-paced digital agency. If you’re someone who can turn pixels into pure magic and lead a team with heart, brains and swagger — we want to talk to you.

You’ll be working across a mix of exciting clients: from bold challenger brands to big-name retailers and cult-status fashion houses. Think design that not only looks great but performs beautifully — across eComm, UX, UI, digital products and more.

And if you like your agency life with a good dose of energy, creativity, autonomy and after-work cocktails, you’re going to love it here.

What you’ll be doing ...

This role blends craft, strategy, and leadership. You’ll be overseeing all design output across web, app, and internal initiatives — championing usability, performance, and creative excellence.

● Leading and evolving the design function across the studio

● Turning briefs into bold, user-first creative that actually converts

● Mentoring a small but mighty team of designers and freelancers

● Creating wireframes, user flows, design systems and high-fidelity visuals

● Collaborating with developers, PMs, and clients like a true partner

● Bringing strong visual direction and creative innovation to everything you touch

What we’re looking for ...

You’ve been around the digital block and know how to get stuff done — fast, beautifully, and with purpose. You bring both creative flair and strategic thinking, with experience in agency life and leading projects end-to-end.

You’ll need:

● 10+ years in digital design (at least 4 in an agency setting)

● A strong portfolio of UX/UI work for eCommerce

● Deep experience with Figma, Adobe Creative Suite & prototyping tools

● A great eye for responsive design, accessibility & performance

● Experience working on Magento/Adobe Commerce platforms

● Solid client communication chops — you can lead the room

● Agile-friendly ways of working

● CRO & A/B testing know-how

● A feel for frontend tech (HTML, CSS, JS)

● Experience in building or evolving brand identities

The vibe ...

You’ll join a sociable, talented, and supportive team who genuinely care about the work and each other. The London studio is in a great spot near Tower Bridge and brings all the good vibes: creative energy, collaborative culture, and just enough chaos to keep things interesting.

Hybrid set-up: 2 days in-office (Tues & Thurs), flexible the rest of the week.

'Work From Anywhere' scheme: up to 4 weeks per year abroad.
