From start-up to industry leader, innovation is in our DNA and every employee has an opportunity to make their mark. Our focus is on building the best travel search engine to make it easier for everyone to experience the world. KAYAK is seeking a Conceptual Designer to join a newly forming creative hub in London covering UK and EMEA. We’re looking for a modern, multidisciplinary designer with a strong eye for art direction, who’s immersed in the design world and the latest trends. You’ll be the visual engine behind London’s studio, bringing bold, beautifully crafted ideas to life across brand campaigns, OOH, social media, and short-form content. You're a designer who can set a creative vision, and then happily get on the tools to make it real. Comfortable working solo or in collaboration with writers, editors and production partners. You’ll ideally come from a creative agency, or in-house background, with a portfolio that clearly demonstrates your taste for design, art direction and passion for visual storytelling across all formats. This role is based in our London office 3 times a week. In this role, you will: Conceive and develop original visual concepts for multi-channel campaigns — from OOH and social media to short-form video — ensuring each idea is tailored to the format, audience, and communication objective. Own the visual direction of creative work from initial concept through to final execution, maintaining the integrity of the idea across production, iteration, and adaptation. Partner closely with a Conceptual Copywriter to build an integrated creative hub in London, developing ideas together from the earliest stages of ideation. Translate briefs, brand strategy, and cultural insight into visually compelling concepts that cut through in a crowded category — work that earns attention and drives results. Bring a strong aesthetic sensibility and taste level to every project, setting a high bar for visual quality and pushing the work beyond the expected. Present and defend creative concepts to stakeholders with clarity and confidence, articulating the thinking behind visual decisions and remaining open to feedback. Collaborate cross-functionally with video editors, campaign managers, and performance marketers to ensure creative concepts are both ambitious and executable within real-world constraints. Contribute actively to concept sessions — bouncing ideas, building on others' thinking, and helping the wider team unlock stronger creative directions. Leverage AI tools for rapid concept development, moodboarding, storyboarding, and visual exploration — using them resourcefully to do more with less, without compromising taste or craft. Stay curious about emerging creative technologies, cultural trends, and visual storytelling formats, bringing fresh perspectives and references into the team's creative process. Please apply if you are: 5-7+ years into your creative career as a Designer or Art Director, with strong thinking, craft, and a portfolio that shows what you can do, rooted in campaign work and not purely product or UI design. Deep knowledge of advertising formats and how visual ideas must be tailored — not just adapted — to work across OOH, social media, and short-form content. Strong aesthetic sensibility and taste — you have a clear visual point of view and know how to push creative work further within them.
