Brisbane, Australia Employment Hero Full time

About the Role

We’re looking for a Head of Creative to steer the ship for one of the most visual, innovative and fastest-growing coffee brands in the world. Working closely with our co-founders and talented in-house creatives, you will oversee the direction and production of branded content across our platforms between social, web and external mediums (such as retail environments). You will also enjoy getting on the tools, using your creative wizardry to produce best-in-class content with the rest of the team

About Beforeyouspeak

We're Beforeyouspeak* Coffee, nice to e-meet you Founded by two mates, Jaryd & Ash, who pioneered functional coffee in Australia with our flagship, superfood-infused Performance Coffee. Our mission? To help you get more out of each day one cup at a time.

We have worked hard to position ourselves as a lifestyle brand that embodies health, self-improvement and having fun. Although we are a product-based business (selling +15M coffees since 2017 #humblebrag ) we like to think of ourselves as more of a media agency, that just happens to sell coffee... The importance of brand-building in a noisy, competitive environment cannot be understated — and this is where your new role as Head of Creative will help set us apart from the rest.

P.S. We’re called Beforeyouspeak because Jaryd & Ash didn’t like to talk to anyone before their first cup of coffee

Key Responsibilities

As Head of Creative, you will oversee the shaping of brand standards and creative execution across all areas of the business. You will also enjoy getting hands-on and leading by example — delivering content that inspires, educates and entertains our community and retail partners. Key responsibilities include:
Defining, refining and prioritising our Brand Guidelines
