Design Jobs Board

We believe the world needs creativity. That’s why University of the Arts London (UAL) is a social purpose university, dedicated to nurturing creativity and deploying it to help solve the world’s problems. At the core of our 10-year strategy is a commitment to making the world a better place through our collective creative endeavour.

As part of this mission, we are now seeking a motivated and talented Creative Producer to join the new UAL-wide Communications function that sits within the Social Purpose group.

Working to a shared communications strategy across the University, for staff, students and external audiences and reporting to the Head of Creative, this is a pivotal role which balances creative strategy, account management, project management and leading Creatives.

The role enables our designers to do their best work by taking care of creative operations and strategy, so they can focus on the creative. This might look different for every project—at times it’s about providing structure and clear deadlines, sometimes it’s pushing back on ideas in favour of what will best serve the brief, other times it might be asking our stakeholders for more time or delivering early.

You will be joining a team of 8 multi-disciplinary designers and will be key to facilitating the design process from beginning to end, responding to a variety of briefs from across the organisation from multiple stakeholders.

About you

As an experienced Creative Producer with in-depth experience of the creative process, you will be able to demonstrate:

• Experience of success in similar roles within the sector, fostering relationships with both internal and external stakeholders at senior levels while consistently supporting the delivery of impactful design and creative.
• A track record facilitating high performing, creative design teams, creating and maintaining timelines, assigning tasks and keeping the team aligned to the roadmap to achieve our own and stakeholder goals.
• The ability to foster transparency and enable close collaboration within cross-functional teams and multiple stakeholders across our organisation, to solve creative challenges and advance strategy and creative for clients and the team.
• Exceptional organisational, planning, and project management skills, adept at forward-thinking, prioritisation, flexible and accurate execution even in high-pressure situations.

Additionally, we are looking for a team player, a curious and proactive creative problem solver, who gets as excited about the big picture as well as the small details.

In turn, we offer a nurturing creative environment, a friendly team and the chance to contribute to exciting changes at UAL.
