JOB PURPOSE
This role is part of our Global Studios team. We create emotive yet conversion-focused ideas, products and campaigns at scale and speed. Our specialty is hyper-personalised, digital communications that change perceptions, shape new behaviours, and shift market share for our clients.
The role will be part of a team responsible for creating best-in-class, retail focused toolkits, connecting products with customers across our partner ecosystems. You will design experiences for a large-scale eCommerce platform that will set the standards for others to follow. This includes bringing as much enthusiasm for production, repurposing, resizing and leveraging design systems as you do to crafting new ones. You are design focused, detail-oriented, excellent at collaborating and multitasking, and eager to be part of a team that makes things come to life. You are inspired by technology and the role brands play in culture today. You thrive navigating complexity within teams, organisations, and creativity. Leadership is exciting to you but you’re also willing to follow others because you understand that great ideas can come from anywhere.
This person will regularly exercise discretion and independent judgement and will be involved in designing digital experiences, lifestyle, and technology content to create experiences that deeply connect with people. You possess a strong design intuition and want to continue to learn, grow and challenge yourself. You also have a strong desire to ensure that clients are extremely satisfied with our services and products. In addition, you possess strong problem-solving skills and a track record of success.
In your role, you will report to the Creative Director who will drive the strategy and direction for the creative and design team. You will support the strategic goals of the company by focusing on the success of these activities and assisting with meeting the short and long-term objectives of the organisation.
