About our client
Our client is a small yet global agency specialising in corporate, large-scale and purpose-driven conferences and events. They’re looking for a Design Lead to take ownership of all things creative and become their go-to design person. Right now, this is a hands-on standalone role, perfect for someone who enjoys autonomy, thrives in a fast-moving environment and wants the opportunity to grow a creative function over time.

What the job involves

• Leading the visual output across a wide variety of design projects
• Creating high-quality creative for conferences, events and branded experiences
• Designing across multiple formats, including multimedia, presentations, digital assets and event collateral
• Working at pace in a fast-churn studio environment with quick turnarounds and shifting priorities
• Bringing a versatile, solutions-focused approach to a broad range of design needs
• Managing the full design process from concept through to rollout and final delivery
• Ensuring all creative is polished, on-brand and produced efficiently
• Collaborating closely with internal stakeholders to bring ideas to life clearly and professionally
• Identifying opportunities to elevate the creative offering as the business continues to grow
• Helping shape the future of the creative team, with the potential to build and lead it over time

What you need to be considered

• At least 6 years’ experience in a design role
• Strong experience working across a broad range of design outputs, not just one niche
• Ability to work confidently in a fast-paced, high-volume studio environment
• Proven experience producing everything from multimedia design to event collateral
• A highly efficient, self-managed way of working
• Strong layout, typography and visual communication skills
• Confidence owning the creative function and working independently
• Excellent communication skills and a collaborative attitude
• A portfolio link must be included in your CV — no portfolio, no response
• Your portfolio should show breadth: event collateral, presentation design, digital assets, campaign-style thinking and strong brand application

Bonus points if you

• Have experience in events, conferencing or experiential environments
• Enjoy building systems, improving workflows and making the design function run more smoothly
• Have an entrepreneurial mindset and like spotting opportunities beyond the brief
• Are excited by the idea of growing into a broader creative leadership role
