We're looking for a
Lead Integrated & Motion Designer
who genuinely wants to do both.
This is
not
a traditional Creative Director role where you step away from the tools and spend all your time managing. You'll spend roughly
50% of your time designing and creating yourself
and
50% leading a small team of Integrated and Motion Designers
.
You need to be equally comfortable
opening the brief and creating the work
as you are reviewing your team's work, giving creative direction, and raising the overall standard.
What You'll Do:
50% — Hands-On Creative:
Design high-quality integrated creative across
digital, social, presentations, campaigns, brand collateral, and marketing assets
Create and work directly with
motion, animation, and social-first content
Take concepts from initial idea through to polished execution
Work across both
static design and motion
— this role genuinely needs strength in both
Jump into priority briefs alongside your team rather than simply directing the work
50% — Creative Leadership:
Lead and mentor a small team of
Integrated and Motion Designers
Review work and provide clear, constructive creative direction
Set the standard for design, motion, and overall creative craft
Help designers develop their skills and push ideas further
Prioritize workloads and ensure projects are delivered to a high standard and on time
Partner closely with the Creative Director to turn the wider creative vision into excellent day-to-day execution
What We're Looking For:
You could currently be a




Senior Designer, Lead Designer, Design Lead, Associate Creative Director, or Senior Creative Manager
— the title matters less than the work.
What does matter is that you:
Have a strong portfolio showing
both design AND motion
Can demonstrate approximately a
***** balance between static/integrated design and motion/animation
Have experience leading, mentoring, or directing other designers
Are still genuinely
hands-on
and want to stay that way
Understand
social-first creative
, not just traditional campaigns or TVCs
Can move comfortably between concepting, execution, feedback, and leadership
Have experience working in fast-paced, collaborative creative environments
Are comfortable working with
integral teams and stakeholders
Have strong professional English communication skills
The Key Thing:
We aren't looking for someone who
used to design and now only manages
.
And we aren't looking for a purely hands-on designer who hasn't led others.
We need someone right in the middle:
a strong designer + motion creative who still loves making the work, but can also lead a team and make everyone around them better.
If that sounds like you, I'd love to see your portfolio and hear more about your experience.
You'll have the autonomy to influence quality, support your team's development and remain directly involved in the work, from social-first content to complex integrated campaigns.
Apply today to grow your career with a forward-thinking global employer committed to equal opportunity.
We are committed to promoting equality of opportunity for all employees and job applicants. We strive to create and maintain a working environment in which everyone is able to make the best use of their skills, free from discrimination or harassment, and in which all decisions are based on merit.
