Design Director

Please See// is looking for a Design Director to lead the creative vision of our Marketing vertical. This is a role for a design leader who thrives at two speeds: the high volume of always-on social content, and the considered pace of campaign work that resonates.

You'll set the visual standard across social campaigns, content systems, and brand work - building the creative frameworks that let a team move fast without losing craft, and elevating the work when the brief demands it.

What You'll Do

Strategic Design Leadership

• Define and drive the design vision for the Marketing vertical, aligned to client brand strategies and business goals
• Build scalable creative frameworks that allow the team to produce platform-native content at volume without compromising craft
• Stay ahead of platform trends, emerging formats, and visual culture shifts, and translate these into actionable direction for the team

Creative Quality & Team Leadership

• Own the visual quality bar across all vertical outputs
• Establish review systems suited to both the pace of social production and the ambition of campaign work
• Build, mentor, and develop a high-performing team across social, campaign, and content disciplines
• Mentor designers to develop creative judgment, beyond executional skills

AI & Creative Practice

• Develop and maintain a considered point of view on where AI genuinely elevates creative output and where human judgment remains essential
• Help the team build AI literacy as a creative skill, using tools to think better

What We're Looking For

• 7+ years in design, with meaningful leadership experience in social, content, or marketing contexts
• A portfolio that demonstrates both platform fluency and creative ambition, work that is culturally aware and craft-led
• Experience building and running teams in fast-paced, high-volume environments
• A considered, evolving point of view on AI in creative work
• Strong communication skills
• The ability to move between vision-setting, hands-on direction, and systems thinking
