Foolproof is seeking UK-based Creative Director with a background in traditional agency and marketing services to join its growing creative team and lead new business pursuit.

This talented individual is a seasoned creative that knows how to develop original creative concepts and approaches for campaigns, digital initiatives and content and sell in their vision at an expert level.

Foolproof is undergoing a rapid period of growth and expansion—expanding more traditional campaign and brand-based opportunities with our existing clients (who know and love us for digital product design) and opening up new clients in the UK and Europe.

Our UK Creative Director will be creative tip of that spear—working with our local, US and global teams to help existing and potential clients see into the future— inspiring them on where their brands, campaigns and initiatives can go and opening up whole new areas of creative exploration.

We are supported in this effort by our parent company Zensar, a global leader in digital and technology solutions, and our US-based agency brand Indigo Slate.

Key skills:

Participate in and lead new business efforts in partnership with Indigo Slate's Executive Creative Director and new business teams to help sell in broader agency services to new and existing clients.
Develop and deliver thought leadership and creative solutions that strengthen clients' market distinction and leadership position.
Oversee the execution of all creative efforts on projects to ensure they are on strategy, on budget and on schedule.
Lead and inspire project delivery and RFP teams to look beyond the surface of the brief, offering solutions that break through a crowded digital marketing landscape.
Interact and collaborate with agency leaders in account, strategy, technology, project management and their creative peers across the network.
Articulate and defend conceptual and directional choices.
Promote continual creative improvement and actively contribute to a culture of innovation, excellence and accountability.
Provide detailed information and timing and resource estimates to ensure accurate data for planning and developing functional objectives and budgets, leading to stable and profitable accounts.
Continually ask "How can this be better"?

The role:

They will lead by example, inspiring our creative and our creative teams to reach greater heights both with their direct reports (this role will lead a small team) as well as a rotating cast of talented creatives drawn from our studio and strategic creative teams.

Experience leading agency responses in RFPs is a must (at least 2-3 per year) as is an ability to own a room, leading discussion and presentations equally on an introduction to the agency, a capabilities pitch or key project vision.

They will possess expert-level written and verbal communication skills, and an always-on focus on quality and, while a history with technology clients is not required, it is a plus.

Our methodology:

Discover, imagine, create and deliver concepts that make things better for our clients, their customers, their employees and the world.
Bring together insight, creativity and technology to deliver experiences that transform our clients' businesses.
Outcome driven, embody objective and peoplecentricity in everything we do.
Continuous discovery, delivery and learning through a collaborative, iterative design process.
Champion experimentation, conceptual thinking and creative expression in design.
Thought leadership in experience, design, branding and design systems through contributing to conferences and industry panels.
