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

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.

• Your Tasks
• 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.
