Senior Creative Partner (Sustainable Fashion Lead)

THE ROLE 

At Hubbub we design campaigns to inspire ways of living that are good for the environment. Since 2014 we’ve trialled ways to raise awareness of the environmental impact of fashion and nudge people to reimagine their fashion habits, from offering alternatives to Black Friday to redistributing outgrown baby clothes to tackling Halloween costume waste.  

Now we’re looking for a purpose-driven leader to drive the strategy for our fashion campaigns. As well as being able to manage vital stakeholder relationships and internal teams, we’re looking for someone who can develop new funding opportunities and experiment with ways sustainable fashion can be made accessible to the mainstream. Crucially, we’re searching for someone who embraces our culture and values. 

As a Senior Creative Partner, you’ll guide projects led by the Creative Partners, ensuring we maximise our environmental and social impact while delivering work to the highest standards on time and on budget. And you’ll draw on your experience delivering complex projects to both lead by example and look for opportunities to develop our talented team. 

Your role will include:  

Campaign Leadership 

• Providing strategic direction for high-profile campaigns, predominantly covering our work across fashion though from time to time you may work on other topic areas. For example, you might work closely with a major high street retailer to design and evaluate a trial behaviour change programme on durable fashion and extending the life of clothes, or design a high-profile activation that seeks to engage new audiences in fashion waste and practical actions they can take. You’ll be responsible for setting and achieving key outcomes as well as delivering fantastic creative work on time and on budget.  
• Building and developing partnerships with major brands and corporates as well as charitable funders and a variety of other partners. 
• Managing internal teams as well as senior stakeholders. 
• Representing Hubbub at campaign events and to the media. 

Business Development   

• Strengthen relationships with existing funders to secure future opportunities.  
• Develop new project ideas informed by the latest thinking, trends, and innovation – and work with the team to turn them into new income. 

Innovation and Creativity 

• Continually challenge yourself and the Hubbub team to think bigger and bolder, and to keep testing new approaches, ideas, ways of working. 
• Spotting the gaps: identifying needs or issues across the organisation and acting on them. 

People Management 

• You’ll provide guidance and leadership to our talented Creative Partners, as well as line management. You’ll help them to achieve their desired project outcomes, while supporting their ongoing professional development.  

PERSON SPECIFICATION  

• We’re looking for candidates who can deliver complex projects working with major funders and corporations.  
• You’ll have experience of leading successful collaborations as well as knowledge of the fashion sector. 
• Alignment with Hubbub's values is essential.  

Hubbub’s success and distinctiveness rests on the quality of our people. No matter where they are in their career, our employees are and should continue to be:
