Manage a small team of designers and brand managers, providing steer and guidance.

Capabilities required:

Extensive relevant experience in consumer brands.

A portfolio of well-conceived and beautifully executed work across a number of channels including digital and social media.

A strong knowledge of the core Adobe Creative Suite applications and a good working knowledge of other apps including Figma, Sketch and experience with tools like Frontify.
