About the Role

Reporting to the Art Director, the Creative Lead is responsible for upholding a strong creative identity for Harrods Lifestyle and hospitality, as defined in collaboration with Editors and Art Directors. With a focus on Lifestyle, you will also work cross divisionally, supporting the beauty and fashion teams.

The Creative Lead will also be focusing on our @harrodsdininghall Instagram, with the visual creation of film and still assets, alongside our Harrods.com, Harrods magazine, screen network, and app and email.

• Support the Lifestyle Team with response to briefs and submissions, ensuring all content is captured and delivered as required.

• Prop source and purchase for shoots, also pulling from the shop floor where required.

About You

You will be a self-starter with a can-do attitude and a bountiful supply of creative ideas, who is just as comfortable working as a team as they are independently. You will have experience styling for lifestyle shoots including homewares, furniture and foods, and still life shoots. As Creative Lead will have an expert eye for detail, and impeccable organisation, with the ability to work on several projects at once, under pressure and to tight deadlines.

You will also:

• Have good knowledge of prop hire companies.
• Have good knowledge of luxury brands across lifestyle and in store restaurants.
