- Partner closely with the commercial, category and growth teams to turn business priorities (launches, sales events, category pushes, flash deals) into sharp, on-brand creative.
- Lead ideation end to end: generate original ideas, build them into strong prototypes, and see them through to execution and into market.
- Create culturally relevant, witty and shareable content that makes noon Minutes stand out in the UAE and KSA quick-commerce space.
- Build, mentor and lead an in-house creative team of designers, copywriters and motion designers, raising the bar on craft and speed.

- A strong portfolio showing brand building, integrated campaigns and social-first content that has genuinely cut through.
- Proven ability to define a brand's visual and verbal language and keep it consistent at scale.
- Hands-on craft: comfortable producing strong first drafts yourself, not only briefing and reviewing (Figma, Adobe Creative Suite, motion and video tools).

- Track record of working cross-functionally with commercial, marketing, product and UX teams.
- Excellent communication skills, with the ability to sell ideas and align stakeholders quickly.
