Creative Director Role Description
We are looking for an experienced Creative Director to take on a 9-12 month maternity cover role for one of our clients. This position is focused on the developer’s perspective, ensuring the creative vision is upheld across multiple Joint Venture schemes. Unlike a traditional design management role, this position involves leading the creative direction across projects rather than solely managing an internal design team.
The successful candidate will act as the developer’s representative, responsible for establishing and maintaining the creative brief and overseeing the work of external design teams. You’ll be expected to provide regular feedback, direction, and strategic input to ensure each scheme aligns with the overarching creative and commercial objectives.
This role requires a balance of design expertise and leadership, working collaboratively with both internal stakeholders and Joint Venture partners to maintain high design standards.
The projects are predominantly high-end, large-scale residential developments, designed to the very highest level of luxury. The role demands an individual with a keen eye for detail, a strong understanding of luxury design principles, and the ability to deliver exceptional quality across all aspects of the creative process.
Creative Director Key Responsibilities:
- Lead the creative vision for Joint Venture schemes, ensuring design integrity and excellence.
- Oversee and direct external design teams, providing regular commentary and feedback on behalf of the developer and Joint Venture partners.
- Develop and manage the creative brief, ensuring alignment with both aesthetic and commercial goals.
- Work closely with stakeholders to ensure the delivery of high-quality design solutions.
- Provide strategic input and problem-solving to enhance project outcomes.
- Manage and coordinate between internal teams, external consultants, and partners.
What They’re Looking For:
- A strong design background, ideally in architecture, interior design, or creative direction.
- Experience in a developer-side design management role is advantageous.
- Confidence in leading both internal and external teams.
- Excellent strategic thinking and problem-solving skills.
- A deep understanding of luxury design and high-end residential developments.
- The ability to balance creative ambition with commercial viability.
This role is ideal for a seasoned creative leader who can drive high-level design decisions while effectively managing relationships with stakeholders and Joint Venture partners. If you have the experience and vision to shape outstanding developments, we would love to hear from you.
