Overview

Tomorrow are working with a globally recognised brand and culture agency seeking a Design Director to lead and elevate their own brand identity – shaping how the studio expresses itself across social, case studies, awards, and innovation projects.

This is a rare opportunity to define the creative direction of a highly respected, idea-led agency rather than client work. You’ll work closely with senior creative, strategy, and partnership leads to evolve a distinctive and world-class design language.

The ideal candidate is a hands-on design leader who combines craft, taste, and conceptual thinking. Someone with a refined, minimalist aesthetic and the ability to translate strategic ideas into visually compelling, content-driven storytelling.

What You’ll Do

• Lead all creative expression for the studio brand, ensuring excellence and consistency across every touchpoint.
• Oversee social content, case studies, awards, and special projects that amplify the studio’s thought leadership and innovation.
• Collaborate with senior creative, strategy, and partnerships leads to develop visually engaging, content-first work.
• Direct and mentor a small senior team while remaining hands-on in design and art direction.
• Partner with leadership to grow the agency’s global visibility through storytelling and design innovation.

What You’ll Bring

• A design leader with a refined, minimalist aesthetic and strong conceptual ability.
• Proven experience developing brand and content ecosystems, especially across digital and social channels.
• Strategic mindset – able to connect brand, content, and culture through design.
• Confident working in fast-paced, opinionated, idea-led creative environments.
• Excellent team leadership, collaboration, and mentoring skills.
