The Ideal Candidate
You are an accomplished graphic designer who has progressed into a creative leadership role without losing your passion for hands-on design.
You are equally comfortable developing the big creative idea, guiding a team, presenting to clients and rolling up your sleeves when an important project requires your expertise.
Most importantly, you understand how great creative work translates beyond the screen. You know how graphics, branding and visual storytelling come together within events, exhibitions and experiential environments, and you can collaborate effectively with spatial, production and operations teams to turn creative concepts into real-world experiences.
If you have built your career within an experiential, MICE, events, exhibitions or brand experience agency and are ready to take on greater creative ownership and team leadership, we would love to hear from you.
