Most senior design roles ask you to contribute to creative direction. This one asks you to own it.
This is an independent London branding studio built around a specific model: big‑agency strategic rigour applied through a boutique studio – typographically led, systems‑driven, where concept and craft are held to equal account.
The Role
You’ll run client projects end-to-end with real autonomy, from concept through to final delivery, architecting brand systems that hold together across every touchpoint, not single beautiful applications.
The founders are honest about why this role exists. Their time is being pulled into execution, and growth is stalling because of it. They’re looking for someone they can trust to lead the work so they can build the business. The area they most need filled is the higher‑level systems thinking, and there’s room, in their words, “to make your mark on how we do things.” They’re eager for someone who brings ideas, not someone who slots in.
