Design Lead – Creative Outdoor 

Your New Role: Design Lead

As a Design Lead you'll take genuine ownership of creative work from concept to delivery. 

You're an ideas person and a maker: providing conceptual leadership, art directing, and designing integrated campaigns across our OOH portfolio - motion, digital, 3D, and beyond. You will have a strong desire to make award-worthy campaigns and push to raise the bar of creative excellence across the industry. 

You'll work closely with the Creative Director and Head of Creative on campaign development, ensuring every piece of output meets our high standards from strategy through to final delivery. You'll collaborate with brands and agencies across all sectors, present creative solutions to clients, and contribute to new business pitches.

This is creative leadership with immediate impact. The Creative Director needs an experienced partner to handle oversight and direction - your judgement will be visible to leadership and clients from day one.

• Present concepts confidently to internal teams and external clients, articulating your rationale and responding to feedback with clarity
• Contribute creative thinking to new business pitches and proactive campaign ideas

What You’ll Love About This Role

Think Big: No one day will be the same - taking a random observation and making it happen
Own It: Relationship building. Building and maintaining excellent relationships with key Creative Agency clients, proactively identifying opportunities to deliver innovative and award-winning campaigns
Keep it Simple: Keep things moving and people in the loop by keeping the tracker tidy with clear next steps, and friendly updates when things change
Better Together: Opportunity to be part of developing new products to market from ideation to execution and implementation

What You’ll Need

• Proven senior-level design experience in an agency, creative studio, or in-house team (OOH, advertising, or integrated campaigns)
• Strong conceptual skills: You're a creative thinker who can generate original ideas, not just execute them
• Outstanding design craft across digital, print, motion, and 3D formats—with a portfolio that proves it
