Job Description

You will lead a creative team of 6 designers and 3 video editors supporting a portfolio of global financial & crypto exhibitions (Dubai, India, LATAM, etc.).

• Mentor and upskill team members; run regular 1:1s and performance reviews

• Ensure on-time delivery under tight deadlines and last-minute changes

Requirements

• 6+ years of design experience, with at least 2–3 years in a team lead / art director / creative lead role

• Hands-on background in marketing / campaign / brand design (not only UI/UX or print)

• Experience working in agencies, event companies, or performance marketing environments

• Proven experience managing at least 4–5 creatives (designers / video editors)

• Strong portfolio showing campaign-based work (social media, ads, email, landing pages, event visuals)

• Excellent English communication skills (written & spoken)
