Brand Support Designer: Crafting cohesive brand experiences across all touchpoints

We are an independent, global design and development firm that partners with growth-oriented companies to launch, amplify, and reinvent how they connect with the world, blending strategy, design, and development into experiences that drive impact. We're a home for the obsessed, where 'good enough' simply isn't enough. Our international team of 26 minds is driven by a relentless pursuit of excellence, creating products, websites, and brands that people remember.

Since 2020, we've delivered 100+ projects and impacted 20 million users, working with everyone from early-stage startups to publicly traded companies. Our CEO, Niklas Johannknecht, remains actively involved in all projects, eliminating layers of politics and bureaucracy while ensuring direct mentorship and strategic guidance.

We are looking for someone who transforms brand concepts into consistent visual experiences across all platforms and touchpoints. You will also create, maintain, and optimize brand guidelines, marketing materials, and digital assets. You will collaborate closely with marketing teams, product designers, and external partners to ensure brand consistency and excellence.

Working directly with our design team and international research colleagues across Münster, Sofia, London, and NYC, you'll be part of focused teams that work on only two projects at a time, enabling deep focus and exceptional results. To maintain efficient collaboration, you must be located in CET, GMT, or EST time zones with availability during our core working hours.

In this position, you will be responsible for developing, managing, and maintaining brand identity systems across multiple channels. You will utilize your design skills and brand expertise to create compelling visual solutions. You will develop high-quality brand assets, with a focus on consistency, scalability, and brand alignment. By creating brand guidelines, templates, and asset libraries, you will contribute to the strengthening of our brand presence and recognition. Additionally, supporting marketing campaigns and brand initiatives will be part of your responsibilities.

You'll work within our core principles of overdelivering on velocity and craft, owning every decision with transparent thinking, and obsessing over the details that matter while stripping away unnecessary complexity.

• Brand-focused: We want someone who is genuinely passionate about brand design and has a deep understanding of how visual identity impacts business success. Your dedication will drive you to continuously enhance brand consistency and recognition.

• Versatile: As a Brand Support Designer, you will work across various mediums and platforms. We are looking for someone who enjoys variety, can adapt to different project requirements, and excels at creating solutions that work across multiple channels.

• Strategic Communicator: Clear and effective communication is crucial in any team. You should be able to articulate design decisions, present brand concepts, and communicate brand guidelines effectively with both creative and non-creative team members.

• Systematic and Organized: Brand consistency requires strong organizational skills. We need someone who is systematic and methodical, able to maintain brand asset libraries and ensure all materials follow established guidelines and brand standards.

• Growth mindset: We value candidates who are willing to expand their skills and embrace new challenges. A growth mindset and eagerness to learn about emerging brand trends and technologies are highly appreciated.

• Expert proficiency in design software (Adobe Creative Suite, Figma).

• Strong understanding of typography, color theory, and layout principles.

• Experience in creating and maintaining brand guidelines and style systems.

• Knowledge of print production and digital asset optimization.

• Experience with brand asset management and organization systems.

Our career opportunity offers numerous benefits that fuel your journey from good to world-class. You will enjoy flexibility and responsibility, as fixed working hours are irrelevant to us as long as tasks are completed on time. As a remote-oriented company, we enable agile work practices, faster creativity, and ensure efficient operations.

• Growth: Fueling your growth is our top priority. We provide cutting-edge tools, workshops, and resources that keep aligned with industry changes and practices while you continue to grow.

• Remote: Our team is internationally distributed, offering you the flexibility to work remotely or from one of our Hubs. This allows our team to work with diverse companies and missions — working how you perform best.

• Flexible culture: We're meeting-light, giving you autonomy to work when inspiration strikes. Our culture values independence and results over presence. Manage your time, deliver excellence, work on your terms.

• Community: Our team consists of minds who bring their professional dedication to all aspects of life, from fitness to art. We connect through company off-sites and cross-department collaboration.

• Competitive compensation: We never overlook potential by offering competitive salaries and revenue-sharing models. Our packages reward excellence and foster collaboration. Your obsession with quality deserves matching compensation.

• Additional perks: Period breaks for recharging, yoga & fitness membership, pro bono program for meaningful impact, and knowledge budget for continuous learning.

• You're satisfied with "good enough" and don't feel the need to obsess over brand consistency and visual details.

• You prefer working independently without regular collaboration with marketing and creative teams.

• You're uncomfortable with the responsibility that comes with maintaining brand standards that impact company perception and market positioning.

• You avoid presenting your work and prefer to keep creative decisions to yourself rather than explaining brand rationale when needed.

We are not looking for someone to just fill a spot, we're looking for someone that drives and shapes our culture and collaboration and wants to push things further than ever before. We believe that as a strong collective of obsessed minds, we can go far. Far beyond design and technology. Our core principles that influence the way we think and behave:

• Don't settle for "good": We believe every project deserves more than "good enough." Move fast, deliver with care, and consistently exceed expectations without sacrificing quality for speed. We're going the long way and ideating until perfection.

• Own every decision: We make our thinking transparent and take full responsibility for our choices. Every decision is explained, justified, and shared, so everyone is aligned. We surface problems early and invite honest feedback because openness builds trust.

• Obsess over details: We sweat the details that matter: design, data, and user experience. Strip away noise and complexity everywhere else. This keeps our work sharp, effective, and easy to move forward while helping us grow together.

• Lead with purpose: Every engagement starts with a clear mission and focused team working on just two projects at a time. We avoid distractions, ignore shiny trends, and keep our process lean so we can adapt quickly and stay true to what matters most.
