Job description

Our client is an established experiential and events agency in Singapore that creates high-impact experiences across corporate events, conferences, exhibitions, creative productions and digital platforms.

We are seeking an experienced Lead, Graphic Design & Creative to take ownership of the graphic design function and elevate the overall quality and consistency of creative output.

This is a senior, hands-on creative leadership role for an accomplished designer who can originate concepts from a blank page, shape creative direction, build compelling visual narratives and confidently present ideas to clients and senior stakeholders.

You will lead and mentor a team of graphic designers while partnering closely with spatial design, production and event operations teams to bring integrated creative concepts to life across physical and digital environments.

What You'll Be Doing

• Lead the creative direction and establish high visual and aesthetic standards across the graphic design function.

• Drive the end-to-end creative process from initial brief, ideation and concept development through to final execution.

• Develop compelling visual narratives, brand experiences and design systems across physical and digital touchpoints.

• Work closely with the spatial design team to develop cohesive visual, spatial and experiential concepts.

• Remain hands-on across selected flagship and high-profile projects, while providing direction and guidance to the wider design team.

• Lead, mentor and develop graphic designers, building a culture of creative excellence, collaboration and accountability.

• Review creative output to ensure quality, accuracy, consistency and alignment with the intended creative direction.

• Translate complex client objectives into strong creative concepts and visual solutions.

• Present and articulate creative concepts and design rationale confidently to clients and senior stakeholders.

• Support pitches and business development initiatives with creative concepts, visual storytelling and high-impact presentations.

• Collaborate closely with Production and Event Operations to ensure designs are feasible, production-ready and aligned with project requirements.

• Manage studio workflows, project priorities, timelines and resources across multiple concurrent projects.

• Identify potential creative or production bottlenecks early and take the initiative to keep projects moving.

What We're Looking For

• Minimum 10 years of experience in graphic design, including at least 4 years in a creative or design leadership role.

• Significant experience within MICE, events, exhibitions, experiential marketing or a closely related creative agency environment.

• Proven experience delivering creative work for major or international brands.

• A strong portfolio demonstrating outstanding graphic design, visual storytelling, branding and campaign development across both physical and digital applications.

• Strong conceptual ability with the confidence to originate ideas and creative concepts from a blank page.

• Demonstrated experience leading, mentoring and inspiring a creative/design team in a fast-paced agency or project-driven environment.

• Expert-level proficiency in Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop and InDesign.

• Strong understanding of brand identity, typography, layout and design systems.

• Solid technical knowledge of artwork preparation and production across print and digital applications, including large-format graphics, signage, fabrication, event screen graphics, presentations and digital assets.

• Excellent organisational and project management capabilities, with the ability to manage competing priorities across multiple concurrent projects.

• A polished and confident communicator who can present, articulate and defend creative ideas to clients and senior stakeholders.

• Strong commercial awareness with the ability to balance creative ambition with budgets, timelines and production realities.

The Ideal Candidate

You are an accomplished graphic designer who has progressed into a creative leadership role without losing your passion for hands-on design.

You are equally comfortable developing the big creative idea, guiding a team, presenting to clients and rolling up your sleeves when an important project requires your expertise.

Most importantly, you understand how great creative work translates beyond the screen. You know how graphics, branding and visual storytelling come together within events, exhibitions and experiential environments, and you can collaborate effectively with spatial, production and operations teams to turn creative concepts into real-world experiences.

If you have built your career within an experiential, MICE, events, exhibitions or brand experience agency and are ready to take on greater creative ownership and team leadership, we would love to hear from you.

Only shortlisted candidates will be notified.
