Design Director

This role is open to a senior designer who feels like they have the experience to take the next step or a design director who already has the relevant experience.

OMSE are searching for a highly conceptual, detailed oriented, and multi-disciplinary creative to join our team in London on a full-time basis in our Shoreditch studio with work-from-home on Wednesdays.

ABOUT US

We are an award-winning branding studio working across a variety of sectors and disciplines. We believe that any organisation can look good and have impact in the world around them - whether they are an up-and-coming tech company, an eclectic music venue or even a 200 year old church in Hackney!

Currently, we are a tight knit, highly collaborative team consisting of two creative directors, one account director and two designers. This is a very exciting time to join as we continue to grow.

ABOUT THE ROLE

We see the role being split in two ways:

From a creative perspective:

• You will oversee the design department, ensuring all work meets the highest standards.
• Lead the design direction for projects, ensuring consistency and alignment with brand strategy, project cadence and deadlines.
• Stay up to date with industry trends and new tools to push the creative process of the team as a whole.
• Your time will be split between designing and leading on projects.

From a management perspective:

• You'll be able to manage and allocate resources efficiently across projects with accounts.
• Develop and maintain strong relationships with clients, understanding their needs and goals.
• Present confidently to large groups of people.
• You'll take part in new business conversations, offering design guidance to potential new clients and helping shape compelling proposals.
• Helping us identify and recruit talent to help us build the best design team possible - from full time hires, to freelancers and other collaborators.
• Take the lead on building the studio culture, through work approaches, daily practices and other activities.

Salary will be based on experience.
