- Mentoring Creative Talent. Inspiring, guiding, and supervising our in-house team of 5 designers and copywriters. You'll provide a clear, creative vision and targeted feedback that helps our talent grow and excel.
- Championing Creativity. Presenting, justifying, and defending creative choices to key stakeholders, including founders and top management, with passion and clarity.
You will lead and mentor high-performing teams, collaborate closely with peers with structured communication and transparency, demonstrating a commitment to integrity and ownership.
Who we’re looking for
We are seeking a proven leader with a distinguished track record of success in driving strategic initiatives and achieving significant business growth within relevant sectors.
You will lead by example, combining ambition with purpose, drive impactful results and cultivate ownership and continuous improvement in our dynamic environment.
- A Master of Aesthetics. You have proven and significant experience as a Creative Director, with a portfolio that showcases a strong point of view and deep expertise in graphic design.
- Hands-On Design Excellence. You are a creator at heart, and you can guide others to achieve the same level of excellence.
- A Digital-First Mindset. You possess a deep understanding of the digital world and have a clear vision for what our app needs to look and feel like to be not only functional but also aesthetically memorable.
- Constructive Creative Leadership. You have excellent communication skills and know how to articulate feedback constructively to motivate and inspire a team to deliver their best work.
- Product Design Affinity. You have a strong sensibility for digital products, and experience in that area is a plus.
