AKQA

Beirut, LB · Full-time · $40,000 – $70,000

About this role

At AKQA, we believe in the imaginative application of art and science to create a better future. With an entrepreneurial and collaborative approach, we design adaptive ideas, services, and experiences that capture the imagination and deliver meaningful impact. Creatives fuse artistry and craftsmanship with strategic insight to build brands, products, campaigns, and experiences.

As a Senior Creative Team member in MENA, you will play an essential role in the strategy, conception, and execution of ideas spanning brand, experience, product, and innovation. Together, you will combine words and visuals into one cohesive creative system. The work will be conceptually strong, beautifully crafted, and culturally relevant.

You will operate as a unit: thinking together, making together, and pushing each other to produce work that neither discipline could achieve alone. Collaborate fluidly with strategists, designers, technologists, producers, and the wider AKQA network. Seek tension that sharpens the work, not comfort that softens it.

At AKQA, you will be surrounded by some of the brightest minds across design, technology, and creativity. Gain access to world-class thinking in an environment that rewards ambition, ownership, and craft. Elevate the room, mentor others, and raise the creative standard around you.
