Description

The company is hiring a concept-led art director with a sharp eye and a solid background in both digital and print design, someone who will help shape the brand's creative voice.

This is a hands-on role for a creative who moves between developing ideas, directing visuals and executing design, and who will carry bold concepts across campaigns, digital, social, print and content.

The ideal person has refined taste, strong conceptual skills and a proactive, resourceful attitude, works as comfortably on set as at the desk, and can grow into leading larger productions from concept to finish.

The company runs premium, immersive wellness and hospitality spaces where design and human connection meet. It has an entrepreneurial culture that gives people real responsibility and room to grow.

Responsibilities

  • Develop strong creative concepts and visual stories across photography, video, design and integrated campaigns.
  • Work with the creative director, copywriters and designers to turn briefs into strategic, well-grounded ideas.
  • Bring a distinct point of view while staying open to collaboration and feedback.
  • Follow design, fashion, photography and wider culture to keep the work current.
  • Art direct photo and video shoots with photographers, directors, stylists, producers and outside partners, and independently lead mid-tier productions from concept through post-production.
  • Build creative treatments, mood boards, shot lists and visual references that make the vision clear.
  • Liaise with outside creative partners and give feedback so their output matches the vision.
  • Oversee image selection, retouching, editing and final asset delivery against creative direction and brand standards.
  • Apply an understanding of motion, video and dynamic content to visual storytelling.
  • Own projects from brief to delivery, balancing several priorities against tight deadlines.
  • Manage, mentor and develop a team of designers, giving ongoing feedback and overseeing their performance.
  • Work closely with creative, marketing, digital, social and production teams on cohesive, high-impact work.
  • Present ideas clearly and confidently, and act on feedback.
  • Take a proactive, solutions-minded approach and step in wherever needed.
  • Add fresh ideas and a collaborative spirit to the creative culture, and help raise the standard of the work.

Requirements

  • 5-7 years of experience in art direction, graphic design or a hybrid creative role, ideally in luxury, fashion, lifestyle, wellness or premium consumer brands.
  • A standout portfolio showing conceptual strength, polished design and a refined visual style.
  • Proven work across digital and print, with thorough knowledge of digital design principles, platforms and best practice.
  • A solid grasp of typography, layout, visual identity, photography and integrated campaign development.
  • Experience art directing photo and video shoots, and a wish to take on more ownership of productions.
  • Expert proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite and Figma.
  • Skill in motion graphics, animation and video editing, which is a significant plus.
  • Clear communication, presentation, collaboration and organisation skills.
  • Ability to perform well in a quick-moving setting and deliver excellent work under tight deadlines.
  • A strong understanding of luxury aesthetics and genuine enthusiasm for design, fashion, photography and contemporary culture.
