• Cross-functional collaboration: Partner closely with marketing, product, and commercial teams to ensure creative outputs are insight-led and commercially effective.

What they’re looking for:

• 7+ years of creative leadership experience, ideally within fast-paced, multi-channel environments. -> This may be from a creative agency background, or in-house within a regulated or high-trust industry (e.g., SaaS, EdTech, utilities, health, financial services or consumer services).
• Strong portfolio demonstrating brand evolution, creative campaign development, and content leadership.
• Expertise across design, copy, digital content creation, and campaign execution.
• Team leadership experience, able to inspire and develop a high-performing creative team.
