Role

We are looking for a Senior Creative Design and Media Manager to join our team in Germany. This is a hybrid role reporting to the Manager, Creative Production.

You will serve as a multidisciplinary powerhouse, bridging the gap between brand strategy, visual storytelling, and user experience. By merging expertise in B2B marketing, high-end video production, and systems-level design thinking, you will create a holistic end-to-end customer journey that scales globally and resonates with stakeholders at every level

What you’ll do (Role Expectations)

• Provide systems-level design thinking to evolve brand guidelines and UX standards, ensuring a consistent and scalable identity across product, digital, and print communications
• Lead end-to-end video production from concept to completion, including filming, set production, editing, and motion graphics to deliver compelling visual narratives
• Drive the creation of high-fidelity prototypes, wireframes, and user journey maps to validate and refine digital experiences within an agile development environment
• Act as a strategic partner to executives and cross-functional teams, translating complex technical requirements into clean, focused, and understandable design solutions
• Mentor internal designers and manage collaborations with external agency partners to maintain a high bar for creative excellence and brand onboarding

Who You Are (Success Profile)

• You thrive in ambiguity. You're comfortable building the path as you walk it. You thrive in a dynamic environment, seeing ambiguity not as a hindrance, but as the raw material to build something meaningful.
• You act like an owner. Your passion for the mission fuels your bias for action. You operate with integrity because you genuinely care about the outcome. True ownership involves leveraging dynamic range: the ability to navigate seamlessly between high-level strategy and hands-on execution.
• You are a problem-solver. You love running towards the challenges because you are laser-focused on finding the solution, knowing that solving the hard problems delivers the biggest impact.
• You are a high-trust collaborator. You are ambitious for the team, not just yourself. You embrace our challenge culture by giving and receiving ongoing feedback—knowing that candor delivered with clarity and respect is the truest form of teamwork and the fastest way to earn trust.
• You are a learner. You have a true growth mindset and are obsessed with your own development, actively seeking feedback to become a better partner and a stronger teammate. You love what you do and you do it with purpose.

What We’re Looking for (Minimum Qualifications)

• Bachelor’s degree in Graphic Design, Film Production, Communications, or a related creative field
• 8+ years of experience in multidisciplinary design roles, with a focus on B2B marketing, brand systems, and video production pipelines
• Expert-level proficiency in Figma and the Adobe Creative Suite, specifically Premiere Pro, After Effects, Photoshop, and Illustrator
• Proven experience in hands-on production, including camera operation, lighting, audio recording, and post-production workflows
• Demonstrated ability to conduct user research and translate data into actionable UX/UI design patterns and responsive web experiences

What Will Make You Stand Out (Preferred Qualifications)

• Experience with 3D animation tools such as Blender or Cinema 4D and advanced sound design skills
• A track record of leading creative strategy within a high-speed tech startup or agency environment
• Advanced knowledge of social media video trends and experience extending design systems to platforms like Canva
