  • Ensure every piece of work meets the highest standards of craft, innovation, and brand impact.
  • Stay ahead of industry trends and bring fresh, cutting-edge thinking to the team.
  • Contribute to the growth of Wayfinders by attracting top creative talent and elevating our reputation in the industry.

What We’re Looking For

  • 8+ years of experience in senior creative or design leadership roles. Ideally with some experience in designing for the built environment (Signage, graphics etc.)
  • Proven experience leading design teams and delivering large-scale projects for top brands.
  • Strong portfolio showcasing high-profile, multidisciplinary work across branding, digital, and experiential design.
  • Exceptional client-facing skills—comfortable presenting to and advising senior stakeholders.
