Wild
Date: 15 hours ago
City: London
Contract type: Full time

About Us:
Hi there We’re Wild. We’re on a mission to remove single-use plastic from the bathroom, armed with our refillable, natural and scent-sational deodorants, body wash, haircare and lip balm – and we’ve only just started. We launched in 2020 and as a high-growth company, we’re already one of Europe’s fastest-growing start-ups So, fancy coming along for the ride?
We’re looking for a Head of Creative to lead our in-house creative team. We’re after someone with proven experience building and evolving bold, fast-paced disruptive brands - whether at an agency or in-house - with a sharp instinct for big ideas, arresting creativity, and a thrill for a high-paced working environment.
As Head of Creative at Wild, you’ll help to set the creative vision, ensuring every piece of work that leaves the building feels distinctly “Wild.” You’ll support in concepting, execution, and delivery across every channel and touchpoint, working closely with marketing, product, retail, and performance teams to ensure our creative is as impactful commercially as it is culturally. You’ll be a hands-on leader - comfortably working on the tools as you help to mentor the team. As an omni-channel brand, you’ll be managing designers in both the DTC and Retail space.
Whilst part of this role will manage direct reports and the output of the team, this is very much a hands-on role. The successful candidate will still be resourceful, creative with daily brief outputs.
Some of your responsibilities:
