Job description

This is not a typical visual design role. We’re seeking a curious and ambitious Lead Conceptual Designer who can help us push boundaries and set new standards for what exceptional design means in the AI era. You will deliver game-changing design for the likes of Google, Snap, BBC, as well as innovative start-ups and challenger brands, whilst helping us lead the industry in AI-native design.

You’ll be shaping a range of customer surfaces—from marketing platforms and products to next-generation, multimodal, and agentic experiences—translating complex business challenges into simple, human-first solutions. From concept to delivery, you’ll combine design thinking, craft, collaboration, and commercial impact to create work that is visionary, award-winning, and outcome-driven.

Above all, you’re an awesome human who loves being surrounded by — and collaborating with — smart, talented folks in a fun, fast-paced environment. If that sounds like you, reach out and show us what you’ve got.

  • Mentor other designers and foster a culture of creativity, inclusivity, and continuous AI upskilling.

Requirements

  • Creative Visionary – Track record of award-winning conceptual design, from vision through delivery.
