Job Title: Creative Lead
Capacity: Full-time

-----------------------------------
Who are you?
You're a hands-on Creative Lead with deep, refined graphic design skills at your core.
You think in systems - typography, layout, grids, packaging, colour, form - but you also think in ideas, stories, and campaigns. You're someone who loves craft, cares about the details, and takes pride in producing design that feels premium, intentional, and elevated.
You have 4+ years of experience in creative leadership, art direction, or senior graphic design roles (agency or brand-side).
You've worked across brand identity, digital, print, packaging, campaigns, photography, and retail environments.
You can move between macro (concept, story, strategy) and micro (type settings, layout systems, kerning, grids) without losing quality.
You want to help lead memobottle's next creative evolution - visually, strategically, and creatively.
