Join a startup Creative & Marketing company as a Creative Director in Manchester.
Brands don’t wait anymore. A campaign that felt fresh in January can look tired by March, and small creative teams live or die by how quickly they can turn a good idea into something a client actually wants to run. This is an early-stage studio building brand, campaign and content work for a growing roster of clients, and it needs a Creative Director who can set the tone before the tone sets itself. The work moves fast. So does the decision-making.
Here’s what you’ll be doing:
- Own the creative vision across campaigns, from first concept through to final delivery
- Lead pitches and present ideas directly to clients, no layers of approval in between
- Build and mentor a small creative team as the studio grows around you
- Set visual and tonal standards across brand, digital and campaign work
- Push back on weak briefs and shape better ones with the strategy and account leads
- Keep an eye on where Creative & Marketing is heading and bring that thinking into the studio
Here are the skills you’ll need:
- A strong portfolio showing range across brand, campaign and digital creative work
- Solid experience leading creative output at a mid to senior level, agency or in-house
- Confidence presenting to clients and defending ideas under pressure
- Comfort working without a big structure around you. You’ll wear more than one hat here
- An eye for detail that doesn’t slow the work down
- Genuine curiosity about where Creative & Marketing is going next, not just where it’s been
Key perks and benefits:
- £54,500 to £72,500, depending on experience
- Equity in the business, so growth actually means something to you personally
- Hybrid working from Manchester, with real flexibility on hours
- A learning and development budget you’re expected to use
- Remote-friendly culture and a flat structure where your voice carries weight
Why pursue a career in Creative & Marketing?
Manchester has quietly become one of the UK’s strongest cities for creative talent outside London, with agencies and in-house teams competing for people who can think as well as they design. Creative & Marketing rewards people who can hold a big idea and still sweat the small details, and that combination doesn’t go out of fashion. A Creative Director role like this one gives you the room to shape a studio’s output, not just contribute to it.
This Creative Director opportunity in Manchester is brought to you by The Opportunity Hub UK.
