We are looking for an individual with a strong track record of delivering standout designs and developing fresh approaches to film and storytelling to join our small, high-energy, brilliant Brand and Creative Team.
You'll be supported by a flexible, remote-first approach to working and a benefits package designed to back your wellbeing and development, helping you to do your best work to plan and create content to protect our ocean for the future.
The Role
As our Brand & Creative Manager, you’ll play a central role in shaping how we bring the ocean’s story to life – leading bold, imaginative creative design that strengthens our brand and inspires people to get behind our mission.
This is a role for someone who loves turning ideas into work that lands with clarity, confidence and impact. You’ll guide how our visual and verbal identity evolves, ensuring every campaign, design, film and story reflects who we are and why we exist – and that it connects with the people we most need to reach.
You’ll lead the end-to-end creation of high-quality content across multiple channels, translating strategy and insights into vibrant, audience-focused work that sparks interest, emotion and action. From big campaign moments to everyday assets, you’ll help ensure everything we produce feels purposeful, consistent and full of character – strengthening engagement and growing our support base.
You’ll also play a key part in shaping how our creative team works – supporting and developing designers and creatives to deliver their best work, managing workflow across projects, balancing priorities and collaborating closely with teams and external partners to keep delivery smooth, well planned and high-quality.
This is an opportunity to combine creativity with purpose, influence the evolution of a growing brand, and work alongside passionate colleagues who care deeply about creating work that makes a difference.
Additionally, you will:
- Develop and maintain brand guidelines, toolkits and assets for consistent application
- Commission and manage external designers, photographers and filmmakers
- Design and produce content across digital, print and campaign channels
- Generate creative ideas and develop concepts for campaigns, storytelling and marketing initiatives
- Build and support a network of brand champions across the organisation

To be considered as our Brand & Creative Manager, you will need:
- Experience in brand management, including developing and refining visual and verbal identity and applying this consistently across channels
- Proven experience of leading creative projects and workflow management
- Proven design and production expertise across digital and print with a portfolio demonstrating creativity, versatility and attention to detail
- A practical understanding of brand strategy and how it informs creative work
