Design Director Branding

At WeWantMore, we believe in the power of design to move people—creating moments of joy, goosebumps, and wonder. Operating at the intersection of art, design, and entertainment, we craft brands and spaces that spark desire and drive responsible progress. Our mission? To shape the unimaginable.

Fuelled by endless curiosity, we push boundaries to think bigger, go further, and create better. By embracing bold ideas and meaningful innovation, we design future-forward identities that leave a lasting impact.

We are a growing, dynamic design studio with offices in Antwerp and London. We are looking for a Design Director Branding who will play a crucial role in guiding and inspiring our project teams, elevating our brand and packaging designs to the next level.

As a Design Director Branding, you will guide a project team of designers towards developing world-class branding and packaging solutions. You will oversee projects from concept to execution, ensuring strategic and aesthetic excellence while mentoring the project team and fostering a collaborative environment.

No two weeks are the same—you'll work on a mix of projects across a variety of clients and industries, from luxury brands to fast-moving consumer products. One day, you might be inspiring a junior designer to bring the best to the table in refining a high-end packaging concept; the next, you're presenting a strategic brand design direction to a tech client. Pushing the work forward at each stage.

Here's what you'll do:

Lead and inspire the design team, ensuring high-level creative direction across branding projects.

Coach and mentor team members, fostering growth and professional development.

Oversee project execution while providing clear strategic and conceptual guidance.

Ensure the highest design quality, both conceptually and technically.

Maintain a hands-on approach—while leading the team, you'll still be involved in designing and refining creative work.

Juggle multiple projects, ensuring each one maintains creative integrity and aligns with business objectives.

Manage project workflows, ensuring efficiency, quality, and timely delivery.

Present work effectively, building strong client relationships and articulating design decisions with confidence.

Collaborate with the Creative Director to shape the studio's creative vision and ensure alignment across projects.

Drive innovation in branding and packaging design, staying ahead of industry trends.

Ensure quality throughout the process, from concept to the delivery of assets & brand guidelines all the way through to the delivery of print-ready files.

You are an experienced leader with a strong background in branding and packaging design. You have the ability to inspire, guide, and mentor a team while delivering outstanding creative solutions.
Your talent comes without ego, and you see collaboration across disciplines as a way to make the work stronger.

Here's what sets you apart:

10+ years of design experience, with at least 3 years in a leadership role (Design Director, Team Lead, or similar).

A collaborative leader, who values teamwork over lone-wolf mentalities.

High integrity, reliability, and transparency in leadership.

A designer at heart—able to balance leadership with hands-on design work.

A strong conceptual thinker, able to translate strategy into impactful brand identities.

Excellent client-facing skills—comfortable presenting ideas and building relationships.

Strong organizational skills—proactive, structured, and solution-oriented.

Experience in commercial brand and packaging design, with a preference for premium, high-end aesthetics.

International experience is a plus—used to working with global brands and stakeholders.

At WeWantMore, you'll be part of a close-knit team of passionate designers and innovators, working together to create impactful, meaningful design solutions.

We create the kind of work we believe in, and that starts with a team that's supported, inspired, and excited to show up every day.

Here's what you can expect:

The freedom to grow: We invest in your personal development with a dedicated budget, training opportunities, and a clear path to keep evolving.

A collaborative, open culture: Honest communication, feedback, and constructive challenges are part of everyday life here. We see mistakes as opportunities to learn and improvement as a shared goal.

In-person creativity: Our beautifully designed Antwerp studio fuels creativity and collaboration. The energy from in-person interactions often leads to those unexpected, brilliant ideas.

A team that values you: Enjoy extra vacation days for every year you stay with us, and the chance to shape your career in a supportive, inspiring environment.
