Senior Brand / Visual Designer (m/f/d)

Über diese Stelle

Your mission
You are a confident visual designer, creative storyteller and cultural thinker. You drive the creative output of brand-focused projects and work closely with teams and clients to develop strong brand narratives, identities and experiences.
Brands today function less as static identities and more as operating systems: adaptive, scalable, and increasingly dynamic across digital products and services. Your role is to help define, design and implement such systems – ensuring they perform reliably across channels, platforms, and use cases.

• Lead the creative development of brand identities, from strategic foundations to visual execution.

• Develop brand narratives and creative routes, translating strategy into expressive and scalable visual systems.

• Guide and mentor designers, ensuring high craft quality and conceptual clarity.

• Work with global brands, publishing houses and public institutions (e.g. healthcare, cities, universities) on complex branding challenges.

• Translate brand strategies into digital products and cohesive brand experiences across touchpoints.

• Collaborate closely with strategy, product and technology teams to ensure consistency and impact.

• Present ideas clearly and confidently to clients, enabling alignment and decision-making.

• Prepare remote and on-side workshops and are willing to facilitate them together with our Design Directors.

• Contribute to and evolve design systems that function as operational brand platforms, not static guidelines.

• Take ownership of projects with a hands-on mentality, from concept to delivery.
