  • Plan and forecast project needs to ensure your team has the right capacity and resources.
  • Lead weekly team meetings, 1:1s, and contribute to management strategy sessions.
  • Oversee team performance, feedback, hiring, onboarding, and future growth initiatives.
  • Support freelance onboarding and maintain strong relationships with external designers.

Client Communication & Project Briefing

  • Review incoming briefs and translate client needs into actionable creative tasks.
  • Manage the briefing, scoping, and delivery of creative assets across client plans.
  • Lead end-to-end client communications, including project briefings, feedback sessions, and scope discussions, ensuring clarity, professionalism, and a seamless client experience.

What We're Looking For

  • A talented designer with strong hands-on skills and a keen eye for detail, capable of producing visually compelling, brand-aligned work.
  • Detail-oriented and highly organised, with the ability to manage multiple moving parts.
  • Strong leadership and interpersonal skills; a natural collaborator who brings people together.
  • Solution-focused and adaptable; able to pivot as project priorities shift.
  • Passionate about design, storytelling, and building scalable creative systems.

Skills, Education & Experience Requirements

  • 7+ years experience in creative services, project management, or design production within a creative agency, studio, or similar environment.
  • Strong knowledge of visual design principles across digital, motion, and print formats.
  • Proven experience managing creative pipelines, including briefing, QA, and delivery.
  • Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills; confident working with both internal teams and external clients.
  • Familiarity with tools such as Notion, Figma, Adobe CC looked upon favourably.
  • Experience managing freelancers, vendors, or distributed creative teams is a plus.
