Hamburg
Full-time
Permanent employee
Summary
We are looking for an experienced Art Director / Digital Designer to join our passionate team and create strong visual ideas for digital products, interactive experiences and immersive applications.
Your mission
You create strong visual ideas for digital products, interactive experiences and immersive applications.
Your work is not just about making things look good — it’s about creating experiences that feel engaging, emotional and memorable.
As an Art Director, you are responsible for the visual quality and visual direction of our projects. You develop independent design visions and help shape experiences that are visually distinctive, contemporary and crafted with care.

We are looking for someone who brings their own creative perspective, questions existing solutions and actively advocates for strong ideas.
