Creative Director (M/W/D) (Fulltime / Parttime 30hrs)

Context and Focus

Diverse clients. An interdisciplinary team. Projects that stick. At headraft, you take ownership of the creative quality of interactive brand experiences – and build the design department into a team that leaves the competition behind. You know agency life, you know how strong design is born from an idea, you win pitches and push your team forward.

• Creative Ownership & Innovation → You take full creative ownership — from the big idea to the final output — and hold the bar for visual quality. With your instinct for trends and your interest in communities, subcultures and gaming, you bring ideas to the table that actually resonate with the audience.
• Client Consulting & Presentation → You guide clients through the creative process, balancing their needs and goals with what's digitally possible.  Your instinct for storytelling and narrative lets you win pitches, lead workshops, and keep momentum in the day-to-day.
• Team Development → You give the design team direction and create an environment where individual strengths become visible and grow. Drawing on your experience, you actively develop both the team and its processes.
