Senior Creative Lead

Bold Stockholm AB

We are Bold. An international brand consultancy shaping identities and experiences that move culture, commerce, and industry forward. Across our studios in Stockholm, Copenhagen, Oslo, and London, we unite strategic thinking, curiosity, and passion to build brands that stand for something. Brands that break convention. Brands that last. The Role Bold's Stockholm studio is currently looking for a new Design Director to join the team. This is a senior creative leadership position. You'll take ownership of projects from first brief to final delivery. Setting direction, maintaining standards, guiding teams, and earning the trust of clients over the course of an engagement. You'll be the person in the room who can articulate why something works and what it still needs. But you'll also still be making things. The best design directors we know haven't stopped designing. They've just gotten better at knowing when to get out of the way and when to step in. Expect to be working across brand strategy, brand identity, design systems, and brand activations. For clients that range from established names looking to transform, to ambitious new ones looking to announce themselves. Experience from gaming, entertainment, or other experience-driven industries is a bonus. Qualities Creative leadership. You've led projects and people ideally for 10 or more years, and you know the difference between managing and inspiring. You give feedback that moves work forward. You create conditions where designers can do their best work. A strong point of view. You have opinions about what makes a brand great. You can articulate them clearly, defend them confidently, and update them when you're wrong. Strategic depth. You understand why brand matters, commercially and culturally, and you can connect that understanding to every decision in the work. You're as comfortable thinking about a brand's positioning as you are about its typeface. Craft and rigour. You have high standards and you set them for the team around you. Details matter to you. Systems matter to you. Work that lasts matters to you. Client presence. You can lead a room. You build trust through clarity and conviction, not by telling clients what they want to hear, but by helping them understand what their brand actually needs. Creative Ambition We're not after someone who wants to manage from a distance. We're looking for someone who's still excited by the work, who gets restless when something isn't quite right, and won't sign off until it is. You're considered but decisive. Collaborative but not consensus-dependent. You’re someone who has built things you're proud of, and is now looking for a place to build more. Location Based in Stockholm or willing to relocate. We'll always consider exceptional candidates based elsewhere — but this is a role that benefits from being in the room. Studio Culture We're a studio that takes its work seriously without taking itself too seriously. Our nordic roots shape how we operate: flat structures, genuine collaboration, and a real commitment to life outside the studio. We offer half a day each week set aside for creative pursuits or learning. Not as a perk, but because we believe good work comes from people who stay curious. We're looking for someone who adds to the range of perspectives around the table, while sharing a belief in the kind of environment where people do their best work — and feel good doing it. Benefits Health benefits 5000 sek/year. Workplace benefits: Computer and Phone, Pension Premium, Lunch benefit, Art lottery and more. 30 days paid leave + Swedish public holidays. Half-day of per week for creative pursuits and personal development. Swedish work/live visa process guidance and associated costs. Hybrid (3 days/week in office). Next Steps Send us your portfolio, a few words about where you are in your career and why Bold feels like the right move for you. We'll take it from there. We look forward to hearing from you.

ABOUT THE ROLE We’re looking for a Design Director to join our Singapore studio, someone with the ambition, experience and creative conviction to shape category-defining brands and lead teams to deliver exceptional work across the region and beyond. This is a senior creative leadership role for someone who combines strategic thinking with outstanding creative judgement and craft. You’ll lead projects from insight through to execution, guiding teams to develop distinctive brand worlds, packaging systems and communication ideas that are both commercially effective and creatively ambitious. While the role spans broader brand and identity work, a significant focus will be on healthcare and pharmaceutical packaging, requiring deep experience navigating complex product architectures, regulatory realities and highly considered consumer experiences. You’ll work closely with Creative Directors, strategists, and client leadership teams to define strong creative directions and ensure ideas are delivered with clarity, consistency, and impact across every touchpoint. You’ll help shape the creative culture of the Singapore studio, raising the standard of thinking and execution while creating an environment where designers can grow, contribute and do the best work of their careers.

ABOUT YOU You are an experienced design leader with exceptional conceptual ability, strong creative instincts and a portfolio that demonstrates both strategic depth and world-class execution. You have significant experience in packaging design, particularly within healthcare, wellness or pharmaceutical categories, and understand how to create brands that feel human, emotionally resonant and commercially effective within regulated environments. You know how to lead creative teams through ambiguity, helping shape ideas from early thinking through to delivery without losing clarity or ambition along the way. You’re comfortable balancing hands-on creative involvement with broader leadership responsibilities, and you know when to guide, challenge or empower the people around you. You’re an articulate and persuasive presenter who can build trusted client relationships and lead conversations with confidence. You ask thoughtful questions, push briefs beyond the expected and champion ideas with conviction while remaining collaborative and open-minded. You lead by example, elevate those around you, and bring generosity, curiosity, and positive energy into the studio. International experience across global brands, healthcare, FMCG or culturally relevant organisations is highly valued, as is an understanding of how brands need to evolve within contemporary Asian and global markets.   WHY US? We’re passionate about our people and their careers. We’ll help you develop your skills and provide you with outstanding benefits. So you’ll have a chance to make your mark on our future, as we make a mark on yours.

Your Mission: * Adapt and localize global brand campaigns, tailoring their design and storytelling to create impactful, multi-door retail experiences across the region.  * Elevate the On retail environment by applying your expertise in 3D design, set design and scenography to translate concepts into locally relevant retail campaigns across all spatial touchpoints. * Oversee the design of campaign activations for new store openings, pop-ups, and special events across our retail network. * Drive the roadmap for the region, planning ahead and overseeing projects from strategic planning to creative execution. * Work with external agencies, providing clear direction and managing feedback to ensure exceptional, scalable campaign executions. * Collaborate with global and regional teams across Visual Experience, Retail, Marketing and Production to ensure a cohesive and impactful brand presence at every touchpoint. * Champion creative problem-solving and challenge the status quo, using your design expertise to push boundaries and create dynamic, forward-thinking retail spaces.

So if the above resonates with you, please feel empowered to apply.
