About You

We are seeking a Creative Lead who can bring world-class visual identity and creative direction to every brand touchpoint. This is not a "keep the lights on" creative role. We are looking for a visionary creative professional who can completely transform how Kayana looks, feels, and communicates — someone with an obsessive eye for modern design, fluency in AI-powered creative tools, and the leadership to build a high-performing creative team from the ground up.

Key Responsibilities

Brand & Identity

▸ Own and lead the evolution of Kayana's brand identity — visual language, colour palette, typography, tone of voice, and design system — ensuring it meets global industry standards.

▸ Audit existing brand touchpoints and develop a cohesive, elevated look and feel across all channels and formats.

▸ Create and maintain a living Brand Guidelines document that the wider team can follow consistently.

Day-to-Day Creative Execution

▸ Lead hands-on production of: campaign creatives, social media assets, email newsletters, presentations

(internal and external), website banners, print and branding materials, and UI/UX elements.

▸ Ensure every creative output is visually polished, strategically aligned,



and delivered to brief and deadline.

▸ Act as the creative quality gate — nothing ships without passing your standard.

Creative Direction & Cross-Team Collaboration

▸ Set the creative direction for all content formats — video, graphics, photography, decks, and any emerging formats — in close coordination with the Content Lead.

▸ Collaborate with the Content Lead to ensure visual and content strategy are always synchronized and mutually reinforcing.

▸ Partner with Paid Ads, SEO, and Development functions to deliver creative that performs, not just looks valuable.

Team Leadership & Talent Development

▸ Manage, mentor, and grow the creative team: Graphic Designer, Video Editor, and Design Intern.

▸ Build structured creative workflows, feedback loops, and quality standards that scale with the team.

▸ Identify skills gaps and contribute to hiring decisions for future creative talent.

▸ Foster a creative culture of curiosity, ambition, and continuous improvement.

AI & Innovation

▸ Embed AI-powered tools (Midjourney, Adobe Firefly, RunwayML, Figma AI, ChatGPT, and equivalents) into the creative workflow as a force multiplier — not a shortcut to mediocrity.

▸ Stay ahead of emerging tools and lead the team in adopting what genuinely improves output quality and speed.

▸ Establish AI-assisted design systems and reusable asset libraries that increase team velocity.

What We’re Looking For

Essential

▸ 5+ years of creative experience, with at least 2 years in a lead or senior creative role.





▸ A portfolio that demonstrates genuine creative excellence — international design sensibility, strong typography, and brand-building capability.

▸ Expert proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite (Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign, Premiere Pro or equivalent) and Figma.

▸ Proven AI fluency: you actively use AI tools in your creative process and can demonstrate this clearly. Candidates who cannot are not the right fit for this role.

▸ Strong understanding of digital-first design: social media formats, web assets, email, and motion basics.

▸ Demonstrated ability to manage creative teams and deliver across multiple concurrent briefs.

▸ Sharp attention to detail and an uncompromising eye for quality.

Desirable

- Experience in B2B tech, SaaS, hospitality, or retail sectors.
- Motion graphics or video editing capability (After Effects, Premiere Pro).
- Basic UI/UX design experience (Figma prototyping, user flows).

Mindset & Culture Fit

- You think in systems, not one-offs — you build frameworks that scale.
