We’re looking for a Creative Director with strong design expertise to lead our brand sprints. This role combines hands-on brand design work with high-level creative direction and client relationship management.

Team Collaboration: Work closely with a Senior Designer, fostering a complementary partnership that brings out the best in both of you.
Project Ownership: Manage timelines, deliverables, and milestones, reporting only critical updates to the founder.
Mentorship: Develop the skills and confidence of your Senior Designer, creating a high-performing, balanced team.
Brand Building: Deliver complete, polished brand identities, including logo systems, case studies, and digital assets.
What We're Looking For
Design Expertise: 7+ years in brand design, with a portfolio that demonstrates excellence in creating diverse, high-impact brand identities.
Creative Vision: Ability to see the big picture and direct projects that are not only visually compelling but also strategically sound.
Leadership & Collaboration: Proven ability to lead projects and teams while maintaining a collaborative, supportive work dynamic.
Communication Skills: Excellent verbal and written communication, capable of presenting ideas clearly and effectively to clients and team members.
Efficiency & Innovation: A balance of speed, creativity, and practicality, thriving in fast-paced environments without sacrificing quality.
Versatility & Trend Awareness: A broad visual vocabulary and keen awareness of design trends, ensuring every project feels fresh and forward-thinking.
Figma Proficiency: Mastery of Figma for designing scalable systems and thoughtful UI.
AI Creative Tools Expertise: Proficiency with AI-driven creative tools like Visual Electric and Midjourney.
Entrepreneurial Spirit: You’re ambitious, proactive, and excited about taking ownership of your work, with the potential to grow into an independent leader within Primary.
