Job Description

Creative Design – who are we?

We’re a global, award‑winning in‑house creative and digital team of over 80 specialists across UX/UI, graphic design, animation, visualisation, motion, real‑time development and web. We work collaboratively to deliver innovative, meaningful communications that help our clients engage, inspire and connect with their audiences.

Our work spans community engagement campaigns, immersive digital experiences, global internal communications, brand development and more. We value creativity, innovation, wellbeing, and flexible working, and we support each other to grow within a fast‑paced but rewarding environment.

Our Growth Leads and Account Managers connect our services with both internal and external clients. They help our AtkinsRéalis teams and our clients make sense of complex ideas, transforming them into compelling stories and clear visuals that unlock new opportunities and drive growth.

As a Creative Growth Lead, you’ll play an important supporting role within the Growth & Delivery teams. Working closely with the Global Growth Lead, you’ll help open doors to new opportunities by demonstrating the value Creative Design brings to projects and challenges. You’ll also collaborate with the delivery team to ensure new opportunities transition smoothly into production.

This role is all about understanding what makes our business distinctive and using those insights to spark interesting and engaging conversations, build relationships, and create space for sustainable growth. You will use your creative experience to guide the resourcing of project delivery teams, to align with the creative vision and client expectations.

You’ll work with teams and clients across the organisation, keeping activities aligned with Creative Design’s growth strategy while identifying new areas to expand. Success in the role requires clear and confident communication and the ability to connect ideas, workflows, and teams across global locations. You should feel comfortable leading discussions, presenting ideas, and inspiring others.

This role suits someone who thrives on connection - sparking conversations, expanding networks, and embracing frequent travel across the UK and internationally to unlock new opportunities.
