💫 Senior Brand Designer

We help other creative teams with awork to turn their client projects and passion projects into reality.

Our brand design is strategically enormously important to stand out from the crowd of project management tools. Our target audience (agencies) immediately recognizes grandiose design ideas and flawless craftsmanship.

And this is where you come in: Take our visual brand presence in hand and make it sparkle. ✨ Ensure that our brand is experienced as visually high-quality and consistent along the entire customer journey – from the first ad to onboarding.

You won't be starting from scratch. There's an existing brand design and design system. Your responsibility: Consistently develop and roll it out – through strategic system work AND operational implementation of marketing assets.

You'll report directly to our CMO Julia and work closely with the marketing team, who are also quite proficient in Figma.

🤝 Your responsibilities

• Create consistency (Priority 1): A rough design system exists, but it's not yet used everywhere. You'll analyze and create what's needed so our presence feels cohesive across all touchpoints and the team understands and applies the guidelines.
• Hands-on implementation with systems thinking: You'll implement new marketing initiatives (ad campaigns, reports, social assets, web components). Ideally, these will become templates so the team can work with them independently. You'll build bridges between creative excellence and scalable implementation.
• Ongoing development: New design elements emerge from real projects. You'll decide what has proven successful and should flow back into the design system – this is how you'll organically develop our brand design further.

Good to know: We're bubbling with activity and always have at least three projects running simultaneously. For you to be happy with us, you should feel comfortable both thinking strategically and wielding the Figma brush yourself.

So the job is a (pretty nice) mix of hands-on operational design (80%) and creative brand design (20%) – with both flowing into each other.
