-8+ years in a senior design leadership role within retail design, brand experience, experiential or live event environments, with proven experience managing and mentoring a design team.
-You will lead pitches, manage a design team, and ensure the creative and design output remains of the highest standard across both retail and brand experience.
-Have a deep experience or a genuine passion for Sports, Fashion, Luxury and Tech
-Expert level in Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign) and Keynote.
-A portfolio of built work spanning retail environments and brand experiences, showing real world outcomes and not just concepts.

They are looking to see candidates who have worked with agencies such Rosie Lee, Hotel Creative, Checkland Kindleysides and Seen Presents!
