Carl Friedrik is a luxury travel and leather goods brand on a mission to become the travel lifestyle brand of choice for discerning globetrotters.
London-born and founded in 2013, we empower modern travellers with timeless luggage, bags and accessories that perform year in, year out. We're hiring a Creative Director to lead our brand direction and creative output across every channel our customers touch.
The Creative Director leads Carl Friedrik's brand direction and is responsible for everything that shapes how our audience perceives us; art direction, design, voice and positioning. You will lead and grow our creative team, manage product and campaign launches end-to-end, and ensure every asset we ship reflects the craft and considered design that defines the brand.
This role sits at the intersection of brand, marketing and growth. You'll report jointly to our co-founder and Head of Marketing, and work closely with teams across the business: marketing, retail, wholesale, product and partnerships.
You are a senior creative leader with a strong aesthetic sensibility and sharp commercial thinking. You understand that great creative is purposeful: every campaign and asset is made to drive brand perception and business growth. You hold a high bar for craft, in imagery, copy and design, and know how to instil it across a team. You've built your career in-house at brands you believe in, producing beautiful work with both small and large teams.
You are an excellent operator. You prioritise ruthlessly, delegate effectively, and deliver on deadlines. You're cost-conscious by default, thinking about budgets and trade-offs from the start. You thrive in a fast-paced, high-growth environment.
