Creative Head £50-70k

A fantastic opportunity for a Head of Creative to work for this exceptionally creative leading International Fashion Brand. You will already be working in a similar capacity either for a top London agency or a quirky fashion brand and will have extensive management experience and commercial awareness. You will need to be quick and critical in your creative decision-making and a dab hand at juggling multiple projects in a fast paced environment. While this is a well-known brand there is little need to follow prescriptive guidelines so the opportunity for creativity is endless...


The role - An overview

As the Creative Head you will be managing a team of 9 designers, both print and digital, and you will be responsible for all creative output for this international fashion brand. Each designer will be working on approx 4-5 projects at any one time, so your team could be juggling 40 projects at once, and projects can include anything from interior design elements of a new store to look books; updating the website to POS or packaging to designing a button - no two days will be the same, just as no two stores are the same!


The Core Role

This role is 90% creative direction and 10% doing creative - not just working on projects but also really influencing the creative direction of the brand. You must be a real influencer within your agency currently or within the senior management team in your current role and be able to demonstrate your influencing skills at a very senior level. There is a heavy emphasis on the management side for this role, you must be able to take a step back from design and manage the team effectively - sometimes being very critical of design if it does not serve the commercial purpose, making fast decisions that may not be popular with everyone, as well as forecasting the creative direction for the future. A calm, disciplined nature teamed with bags of energy would be perfect for this role.


The Company

A quirky and fun work environment based in stunning offices in London. This leading Fashion brand has an energetic and refreshing approach to their work, they are keen to find someone with the same ethos that will really drive the brand forward. They are in the process of expanding internationally into the USA and EMEA, with a strong UK presence currently - 40 stores nationally and over 150 concessions - so this is a real time of growth for the company and an excellent time to get involved.

This is a truly exciting role that provides great benefits for the right person, if you feel you possess both the high level of creativity as well as the management and leadership skills required, then please send your CV and samples of your work to sunni@profilescreative.com as soon as possible.
