Design Lead

We're looking for a Design Lead to join our hybrid Brussels team.

We’re looking for a design leader with deep expertise in brand and digital design, someone who pulls the best work out of the people around them. Think creative concepts, visual narratives, brand identity in every form it can take. You connect creative thinking to business objectives instinctively; strategy shows up in the work itself, not as a separate step bolted on afterward. You'll shape digital brand experiences for clients who don't play it safe, raise the creative bar for the whole team, and help win the business that lets us keep doing it.

If you're fluent in AI and genuinely curious about where it's taking design next, we’d like to hear from you!
