Portsmouth, United Kingdom BTS Full time

Head of Design

Reports to: Head of Project Management Office (PMO) Europe

Responsible for: Team of 8, based across Portsmouth, London and Stockholm

Based: Portsmouth (Lakeside, North Harbour) - minimum 60% Portsmouth office

Contract Type: Permanent

Hours: Full time

What you’ll do in your role

You’ll lead and develop the European Design team in the delivery of design, production and graphics support for consultants across our London, Paris, Amsterdam, Stockholm and Cologne offices. Aware of rising trends in design, including AI and digital design, you’ll bring creativity and innovative ideas to demonstrate the highest level of design capability and quality for our clients and foster efficiency in execution. Your leadership will both elevate the standing of the design team in the business, strengthening their brand and relationship with project teams, as well as ensure that the team is looking ahead to the future of design.

Utilising your experience in project management and quality assurance, you’ll work closely with senior internal stakeholders to ensure that client expectations are met and exceeded in the region. Critically, you’ll take the design team along with you on that journey, raising the quality and efficiency of their work, and promoting engagement, ownership, and a sense of comradery. It’s a busy time for BTS, there’s a lot going on – but that means no two days are the same and you’ll never be bored

The key responsibilities of the role will be:

Team Leadership

Lead and inspire a high-performing team, fostering creativity, collaboration, and a client-centric mindset. Foster a collaborative and innovative work environment while providing guidance and mentorship. Raise the profile of design within the region and build greater connections with key stakeholders in the business. Establish key performance metrics to provide monthly insights, translating data into actionable strategies for continuous improvement.

Design Leadership

Collaborate with Design colleagues globally and key stakeholders across the region to deliver and embed innovative and creative design solutions. Leading with a future-focussed design perspective, looking for ways to improve our work and impress our clients. Define and lead the standards in design for content heavy client solutions. Lead production management and stakeholder management for the design team to aid resourcing and scheduling. Foster an innovative environment that helps the Design team in Europe to capitalise on developments in digital and analytics technology, such as AI. Be the internal brand guardian.

What we're looking for:

Proven experience in art direction, preferably in a consultancy or professional services setting. Experience working in a multi-national environment. Adept at leading digital and creative specialists. A robust portfolio showcasing your creative vision, including print and digital design, branding, and integrated work. High level of proficiency in Adobe CC2024 (InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop), advanced knowledge of MS Office. Strong leadership and communication skills, with the ability to inspire and mentor creative teams. A deep understanding of visual storytelling, branding, and the ability to translate complex ideas into compelling visuals. Proven ability to work collaboratively with clients and cross-functional teams. Strong project management skills and the ability to meet deadlines in a fast-paced environment. Naturally dynamic, pro-active, organised and personable with strong attention to detail and the ability to multi-task. Prepared to travel occasionally to meet with team, visit BTS offices or attend BTS conference events

Please note that we are unable to provide sponsorship for this role, so you will require the right to live and work in the UK.

Who we are

BTS is a consultancy specializing in the people side of strategy. We partner with clients to solve a variety of people-based organisational challenges and use deep knowledge of the client business to create powerful learning experiences.

We equip leaders for tomorrow. We inspire new ways of thinking. We build critical capabilities. We make strategy personal.

We’re not looking for people to blend in. We’re seeking passionate and collaborative people who can add to our team, bring new ideas, unique perspectives and diverse backgrounds. We don’t do hierarchy. We have an intentionally flat structure, and everyone has a voice.

We are extremely proud of our people-based culture. We work hard, but we laugh and have fun while we’re at it. We are proud of the fact that people feel they can truly be themselves at work.
