CREATIVE LEAD to be based in UAE ———— About R/GA R/GA is a creative innovation company for the intelligence age. We harness design and technology to create more valuable experiences for people and brands. We are a company of reinvention: we evolve as technology reshapes the world, and we help our clients do the same. Our team is a mix of specialists working at the intersection of brand design, experience design, technology, and communications. We work hybridly both in the MENA studio and online across EMEA, bringing together the leading minds of our specialist crafts to solve any problem. ————— The role We are looking for a Creative Lead MENA to co-lead the creative vision and output of R/GA MENA. This is a pivotal leadership role for a conceptual and strategic design leader with broad experience across brand, product, experience, and communications. This person will work closely with the MENA Lead to drive growth in the region, lead new business efforts, and shape the creative culture and standards of the MENA studio. The ideal candidate can connect dots across disciplines—brand, experience, technology, and communications—to create holistic and future-forward brand experiences. They will be equally comfortable in a pitch room, leading multi-disciplinary teams, and shaping the creative output across different types of engagements — from brand transformations to digital product launches, experience ecosystems, and communication platforms. A key part of the role will be shaping how we design with emerging technologies. You will be at the forefront of innovation: identifying, experimenting with, and codifying new interaction paradigms — from AI-enabled workflows to generative interfaces — that keep R/GA ahead of cultural and technological shifts. As an ambassador for R/GA, you will contribute to thought leadership, publish articles, and represent the agency at industry events, helping to shape our reputation as pioneers in brand, experience, and technology-led design.
