Design Director – £65,000 to £80,000 depending on experience

We are partnering with a globally recognised brand studio to find a Design Director who can step in and truly lead from the front.

This is a studio known for delivering intelligent, strategic brand work for ambitious organisations across tech, culture and enterprise. Brand here is not just visual, it is a business tool. The work is thoughtful, system led and crafted to a very high standard.

They are looking for a senior Designer who can hold the bigger vision while staying close to the detail. Someone who understands the commercial context, sees the full brand landscape and then ensures every execution lives up to that thinking. A steady, confident presence who raises the bar creatively and brings clarity to teams and clients alike.

 

The role

You will own creative direction across complex branding projects, from early stage concept through to full rollout.

Working closely with strategy, you will turn positioning into distinctive, scalable identity systems. You will guide designers, shape the work and ensure consistency across every touchpoint.

This is a visible, client facing role. You will present to senior stakeholders, lead feedback conversations and confidently stand behind the work while remaining open and collaborative.

Importantly, you will not be removed from the craft. You will stay close enough to the detail to step in when needed and ensure the standard never slips.

 

What we are looking for

• Extensive experience within brand design, including leading and mentoring teams
• A portfolio that clearly demonstrates strong identity thinking and brand systems
• Confidence presenting to senior leadership groups
• Clear, constructive and inspiring in how you give direction
• Organised, accountable and collaborative in how you work
• Strong across Adobe Creative Suite and Figma

 

This is a brilliant opportunity for a Design Director who wants to sit at the heart of meaningful brand conversations and lead work that has real impact at scale. This is a fully remote position which also offers hybrid working space for anyone based in London.

If this feels like the right next move, we would love to tell you more.

 

We are passionate about promoting diversity, inclusion, and equality, and are committed to working with clients who share our outlook. We offer equal opportunities to all candidates regardless of background, identity, sexuality, and disability. We strive to create inclusive cultures where diversity is seen as real value for the company. Our mission is for everyone to feel empowered to be their true authentic selves at work.
