Full-Time Head of Creative
Job Description
We’re looking for a Head of Creative to join Stand.
A bit about us
We’re here for the trailblazers who believe in better.
From charities to challenger banks. Literary festivals to healthcare innovators. To you.
We’re looking for someone who believes in the power of creativity to tackle the world’s greatest challenges. Someone who can create a story that sings across every medium – from social media content, to PR activations.
And a leader and mentor who can inspire our team to do the same.
As an independent B Corp communications agency, we’re committed to creating an environment where everyone can do their best work – from a 4.5 day working day week, to creative days off to spark your imagination.
It’s time to create your most meaningful work yet.
About you
- You have significant experience in communications, whether in-house for a brand or within an agency – your experience is likely to be brand / B2C, but you like the idea of turning your hand to a wider range of topics, from finance to health, from renewables to education.
- Creativity is your greatest strength – you thrive on creative problem-solving and bouncing ideas around with other team members.
- You are fluent overseeing integrated creative campaigns across the full marketing and PR mix, thinking laterally about content ideas to reach our audience(s). You are comfortable crafting and leading a content strategy, delivered across both digital and traditional PR.
- You love surfacing creative ideas for multi-channel content through facilitation and exploration. You enjoy collaborating, and you imbue and nurture creative thinking within a team, into client work and in new business pitches and proposals.
- You’re a skilled copywriter who knows how to craft a compelling story with just a few words.
- You have an eye for visuals, and experience working with designers to create attention-grabbing visuals.
- You are adept at bringing insight and strategy to life, crafting compelling creative platforms and stand-out content that stems from them.
- You are a compelling communicator with the skills to lead and inspire others; you are as comfortable mucking in with your teams as you are sitting in client boardrooms.
- You have an entrepreneurial mindset and the passion to head up and build a growing content team in collaboration with our Digital Strategist, and you understand the digital space enough to maximise on this growing part of our offering.
- You are motivated by the idea of growing Stand through creativity, both team and clients, and playing a key role in the growth, development and impact of Stand.
- You have a flair for crafting stand out pitches and proposals, as well as using creativity and ideas to open doors and nurture leads.
- You will showcase Stand’s creativity through your own profile, your own network, though industry-relevant platforms, awards, panels and events.
- You get stuff done, working with the team to translate ideas into action.
