Who you are

As a creative explorer…

At your core, you’re a master designer – always seeking to uncover solutions and ideas through design. You thrive on big ideas, extraordinary design, and providing inspirational leadership for the creative team. You know when you need to roll up your sleeves and when to focus on vision. You are a storyteller, a brand strategist through design, and creative to the core.

As an advocate for design…

You are an expert at communications – saying what you mean and hearing what others mean to say, whether in a one-on-one conversation or in a formal presentation.

You’ll be very good at building relationships – with clients and within the office. You’ll be good at this not just because it’s a requirement of the job, but because you’re passionate about relationships and are sophisticated at dealing with different personalities and different seniority levels. You’re a diplomat and do not fear confrontation. You thrive leading a team and understand the different contributions different individuals make.

As a business leader & mentor…

You are a strategic thinker. You understand branding and love it when you really understand a client’s business and arrive at insights that solve their challenges via their brand.

You are results-focused, very organized, and a skilled planner. But you are also an improviser who knows that ambiguity and changing priorities are common. You know finances, financial goals, reporting and metrics and how to manage these.

You are a team leader and a player. You understand team interaction and roles of team members. You perform well in a team environment and foster communication and cohesion between internal teams and functions.

Finally, you are optimistic and enthusiastic but also a bit restless and dissatisfied.

What you’ll need 

  • 2+ years of experience as a Design Director within a branding agency.
  • 8+ years of broad creative and management experience (required) with a global sophistication and the ability to adapt to different cultures.
  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in graphic design, communication, design, fine arts, or a related field.
  • Experience leading cross-discipline teams and design leaders.

 

We believe the best work happens when we're together, fostering creativity, collaboration, and connection. That's why we’ve adopted a hybrid approach, with teams in the office around four days a week. If you require accommodations or flexibility, please discuss this with the hiring team during the interview process.

We build brands. We build futures. Landor, a WPP company, is an equal opportunity employer. We consider all applicants without discrimination or regard to particular characteristics, committed to a culture of respect where everyone belongs and can progress in their careers
