Creative Director / Head of Visualization

We are partnering with a high-growth, insight-led organisation to appoint a senior visual leader who will fundamentally transform how the business looks, presents, and communicates.

This is not a traditional design role. It is a commercial, strategic leadership position for someone who can turn complex data, strategy, and ideas into clear, persuasive visual outputs that directly help the business win more work.

Role Purpose

Own and elevate the end-to-end visual expression of the business. You will be responsible for making everything clearer, sharper, and more persuasive—across data, strategy, sales, and brand.

Your work will directly impact RFP win rates, pitch outcomes, senior decision-making, and client confidence . You will set the visual standard for how the organisation thinks, sells, and communicates.

Key Responsibilities

Visual Leadership

• Own the end-to-end visual direction of the company across all touchpoints
• Define, implement, and enforce a consistent, high-quality visual language
• Act as the internal authority on design clarity, quality, and impact
• Raise expectations around what “good” looks like—visually and commercially

Data Visualisation & Storytelling

• Translate complex data, analytics, and insights into simple, decision-ready visuals
• Create frameworks, charts, dashboards, and visual narratives that senior leaders and clients immediately understand
• Partner closely with analytics and strategy teams to shape how data is told, not just how it is displayed

RFPs, Proposals & Pitches

• Lead the visual strategy for all major RFPs, proposals, and client presentations
• Turn dense, text-heavy content into sharp, visual, outcome-driven documents
• Ensure all submissions are differentiated, memorable, and commercially persuasive

Brand & Commercial Assets

• Elevate brand execution across marketing, sales, product, and corporate materials
• Oversee design for campaigns, reports, presentations, invoices, and client-facing collateral
• Ensure the brand consistently signals credibility, intelligence, and scale

Strategic Design Thinking

• Partner with senior leadership to align design with business strategy
• Use visual thinking to clarify positioning, messaging, and propositions
• Push beyond “making things look good” into solving real commercial problems through design

Team & Delivery

• Act as a hands-on leader and reviewer, not just a delegator
• Build, guide, and uplift internal and external creative resources
• Establish clear templates, workflows, and standards to improve speed, consistency, and quality

Required Experience:

• Senior-level experience in creative direction, visualisation, or design leadership
• Strong background in data visualisation and analytical storytelling
• Direct experience supporting sales teams, RFPs, pitches, or commercial strategy
• Experience in agencies, consultancies, media intelligence, professional services, or complex B2B environments preferred
