* Partner with agency teams, photographers, stylists, talent and producers to create and ensure output is cohesive, on‐brand and on‐brief.
* Use Figma and Adobe Creative Suite (InDesign, Photoshop, Illustrator) to design, present, and produce creative assets across multiple channels.
* Handle a diverse scope of work across fashion, home, beauty, toys and events.
To Be Successful in This Role You'll Have
* Creative mindset with ability to think strategically, solve problems and translate briefs into retail‐forward, customer‐centric ideas.
* Strong understanding of content across digital platforms and how to tailor creative for specific social and e‐commerce channels.
* Expertise in art direction, including on photography sets, with experience briefing and working closely with copywriters, finished artists, producers, stylists and photographers.

* Excellent written, verbal and visual presentation skills.
* Experience in advertising or retail environments.
* Exceptional organisational skills and ability to manage multiple projects in a fast‐paced, deadline‐driven environment.
* Collaborative nature and ability to stakeholder manage and build strong working relationships across teams.
