Om jobbet
We are Bold. An international brand consultancy shaping identities and experiences that move culture, commerce, and industry forward.
Across our studios in Stockholm, Copenhagen, Oslo, and London, we unite strategic thinking, curiosity, and passion to build brands that stand for something. Brands that break convention. Brands that last.
The Role
Bold's Stockholm studio is currently looking for a new Design Director to join the team.
This is a senior creative leadership position. You'll take ownership of projects from first brief to final delivery. Setting direction, maintaining standards, guiding teams, and earning the trust of clients over the course of an engagement. You'll be the person in the room who can articulate why something works and what it still needs.
But you'll also still be making things. The best design directors we know haven't stopped designing. They've just gotten better at knowing when to get out of the way and when to step in.
Expect to be working across brand strategy, brand identity, design systems, and brand activations. For clients that range from established names looking to transform, to ambitious new ones looking to announce themselves.
Experience from gaming, entertainment, or other experience-driven industries is a bonus.
Qualities
Creative leadership. You've led projects and people ideally for 10 or more years, and you know the difference between managing and inspiring. You give feedback that moves work forward. You create conditions where designers can do their best work.
A strong point of view. You have opinions about what makes a brand great. You can articulate them clearly, defend them confidently, and update them when you're wrong.
Strategic depth. You understand why brand matters, commercially and culturally, and you can connect that understanding to every decision in the work. You're as comfortable thinking about a brand's positioning as you are about its typeface.
Craft and rigour. You have high standards and you set them for the team around you. Details matter to you. Systems matter to you. Work that lasts matters to you.
Client presence. You can lead a room. You build trust through clarity and conviction, not by telling clients what they want to hear, but by helping them understand what their brand actually needs.
Creative Ambition
We're not after someone who wants to manage from a distance. We're looking for someone who's still excited by the work, who gets restless when something isn't quite right, and won't sign off until it is.
You're considered but decisive. Collaborative but not consensus-dependent. You’re someone who has built things you're proud of, and is now looking for a place to build more.
Location
Based in Stockholm or willing to relocate. We'll always consider exceptional candidates based elsewhere — but this is a role that benefits from being in the room.
Studio Culture
We're a studio that takes its work seriously without taking itself too seriously. Our nordic roots shape how we operate: flat structures, genuine collaboration, and a real commitment to life outside the studio.
We offer half a day each week set aside for creative pursuits or learning. Not as a perk, but because we believe good work comes from people who stay curious.
We're looking for someone who adds to the range of perspectives around the table, while sharing a belief in the kind of environment where people do their best work — and feel good doing it.
Benefits
- Health benefits 5000 sek/year.
- Workplace benefits: Computer and Phone, Pension Premium, Lunch benefit, Art lottery and more.
- 30 days paid leave + Swedish public holidays.
- Half-day of per week for creative pursuits and personal development.
- Swedish work/live visa process guidance and associated costs.
- Hybrid (3 days/week in office).
Next Steps
Send us your portfolio, a few words about where you are in your career and why Bold feels like the right move for you. We'll take it from there.
We look forward to hearing from you.
