Experience Design Director / Creative Director - French + English Speaking

Note: Regular (weekly) travel required across Europe and Middle East 

R/GA is an independent creative innovation company built for the intelligence age. We harness the power of design and technology to create more valuable experiences for people and brands.

From reimagining interfaces with AI to launching entirely new platforms and services, we help organisations adapt to what's next and shape what comes after. Our teams combine craft, curiosity and technology to deliver work that drives both business and human impact.

At R/GA, we don't just respond to change — we help shape it.

This is a client-facing leadership role for an Experience Design Director who excels in the art of presentation, acting as the spokesperson for a key client in senior forums. You'll be the face of our research and design vision, representing both R/GA and our client in C-level presentations, and leading how we communicate insight, influence decisions, and inspire stakeholders across Europe.

As an Experience Design Director with a focus on presentations, your role is to craft and deliver compelling narratives that bring complex data & analytics to life. You'll partner with internal teams to shape the story and present it with clarity and confidence.
