What You Can Expect

• Create digital-first brand experiences that merge strong conceptual thinking with exceptional design craft across all digital touchpoints.
• Shape ideas that bridge creativity and technology—exploring how AI, MarTech, and emerging tech can unlock new forms of expression, interaction, and storytelling.
• Driven by innovation. You're curious, experimental, and energized by the unknown – especially when tech opens up new creative directions.
• Invent and prototype: you turn concepts into tangible experiences early, often, and collaboratively—beyond slides, into visuals, motion, interactions, and experiments.
• Drive creative exploration by pushing boundaries, testing possibilities, and elevating ideas through hands‑on making.
• Work closely with strategy, tech, UX, copy, and data to build sharper ideas and smarter solutions, ensuring creativity and technology reinforce each other.
• Lead and inspire internal and client‑facing presentations that clearly articulate creative vision, reasoning, and potential.
• Mentor and guide other designers and creatives, fostering a culture of innovation, curiosity, and high‑quality output.

What We’d Love To See

• A degree in graphic or communication design, or comparable training.
• Ideally 6+ years of experience in a creative or digital agency environment.
• Outstanding conceptual and design skills for digital environments—turning ideas into experiences that scale across digital ecosystems.
• A creative thinker and hands‑on maker who explores solutions, iterates fast, and pushes ideas until they truly work.
• A relentless eye for quality: you aim for exceptional—every detail, every execution.
• Strong experience with Adobe Creative Suite and familiarity with modern creative tools and workflows.
• A digital mindset with curiosity for innovation, tech‑driven creativity, and emerging trends.
• Confidence in using AI as a creative tool to amplify concepts, accelerate exploration, and invent new methods—not as a shortcut.
• Understanding of marketing technologies (MarTech), their creative potential, and their practical boundaries.
• A collaborative spirit—your best ideas emerge from working closely with strategy, tech, copy, and UX.
• Ability to think in prototypes, not just slides—you bring ideas to life visually, narratively, and tangibly.
• Strategic and brand‑oriented thinking paired with strong communication skills.
• First experience in professional leadership is a plus.
• Fluent German is required; very good English is an advantage.
• Flexibility to travel when needed.
