- The ability to manage, mentor and inspire a team of designers within a high-performance, creative culture.

- A positive, friendly can-do attitude, you are calm under pressure.
- An eagerness to be a team player. You'll be mentoring designers to ensure they develop as design practitioners and are engaged in their roles.
- Expert knowledge of Adobe's Creative Suite and Figma.
- Motion skills would be a definite bonus, so too would illustration.
- A curiosity for learning skills beyond design (user experience/strategy/leadership/business).
- An ability to work closely with account service and operations managers to ensure deadlines are met and communicated effectively.
- Solid communication skills. You're able to clearly articulate the department's design rationales and decisions. You'll take a leading role in client and team presentations.
- An ability to think intuitively and work well within a diverse team.
- A resilient attitude, always ready to pitch in and roll with the punches.

Other things that would make you excel in this role
- You're passionate about creating a high performing, world class design team.
- You're resourceful, proactive and autonomous. You hustle to get things done.
- You're curious (about design, tech and humans).
- You're ambitious to grow.
- You aspire to do innovative work, that no one has done before.
- You challenge the status quo in everything you do.
- You stay current with design trends, tools and innovation.
- You value open collaboration and know how to foster a culture of trust.
- You grasp opportunities - you ask for forgiveness, not permission.
