What you’ll bring:
10+ years’ experience in brand, design, or communications with a strong track record leading creative/branded projects across digital, retail, and internal channels.

Deep understanding of brand systems, with strong design sensibility and the ability to apply and enforce brand guidelines effectively.

Skilled in storytelling, copy, and layout with a sharp eye for brand consistency and quality execution.

Confident collaborator and influencer, able to engage cross-functional stakeholders including product, HR, and exec teams.

Commercially minded with a customer-first approach, bringing brand strategy to life in clear, human-centred ways.

What you’re like
