The work:

My client is looking for talented design directors who can take a brief and nail it first time. The ideal candidate would be someone who creates challenging, unconventional design work that defies trends and wows clients and fellow designers. The Design Directors need to be methodical thinkers as well as creatively broad–minded designers, so you'll be someone who can identify the problem quickly and solve it with simple, effective and commercially sensitive solutions. You'll spend most of your time putting pen to paper and getting stuck into design, as well as pushing the less experienced members of the team to be more and more creative on a daily basis.

You'll be working closely, face–to–face with the clients and selling your ideas.

You'll also need to be very Mac literate!

As well as creating your own work you'll also help with other projects in the studio, helping to solve other problems for other designers.

Although this isn't a management role as such, you'll also help evaluate designers in their appraisals and reviews, giving advice on how they can improve and progress in their careers.

You'll also serve be responsible for the quality of work across the studio, ensuring that the work produced is as high quality as it should be!

The role involves:

inspiring and leading a small team

working closely with clients

ability to draw and communicate ideas quickly

be an exceptional typographer

obsess over colour

live and breathe all things design

know your way around a Mac, Illustrator and Photoshop
