Full-time · Amsterdam


YOUR ROLE

We specialise in crafting compelling brand experiences that elevate our clients’ businesses. Our mission is to deliver creative, strategic, and impactful design solutions that resonate with audiences. As we continue to grow, we are seeking a passionate and visionary Senior Brand Designer to lead our design team and shape the visual identities of the diverse brands we work with.

This is a hands-on role but you'll also be responsible for overseeing some branding projects in some cases, ensuring that each design solution aligns with our clients’ vision, business goals, and audience needs.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

  • Lead Brand Design Projects: From concept to execution, own the creative process for high-profile clients.
  • Develop Visual Identities: Craft comprehensive brand systems, including logos, typography, color palettes, and guidelines.
  • Solve Problems Autonomously: Approach challenges with curiosity, structuring your process to find innovative solutions and drive projects forward with confidence.
  • Collaborate: Work closely with strategists, designers, and clients to create design solutions that inspire and perform.
  • Innovate: Push boundaries with fresh ideas that resonate across digital, spatial, and print platforms.
  • Collaborate Across Disciplines: Jump in to support other teams (such as digital, or campaign design) when needed, ensuring consistency across all touchpoints.
  • Mentor: Guide junior designers, sharing knowledge and fostering growth within the team.
  • Develop and share a unique and progressive vision of design.
  • Drive experiment and innovation in the work.
  • Develop and innovate methods, processes and way of working.
  • Build successful case studies of key projects.
  • Support other designers on projects.
  • Report to the Brand Design Director.

As an agency that highly values diversity, curiosity and collaborations, we are open to people from different professional and education backgrounds. However, the ideal person for this role would at least fit the following criteria:

  • A nice person
  • Great sense of design (your portfolio needs to show it)
  • Mind filled with creative ideas
  • Presentation and communication skills
  • Able to function independently as well as in a team
  • An eye for detail

YOU BRING

  • 5+ years of experience in brand design.
  • A love for hands-on work, but also guide others to bring your ideas forward.
  • Exceptional portfolio showcasing a wide range of branding projects.
  • An ability to build strong client relationships and articulate design ideas clearly and persuasively.
  • In-depth knowledge of design tools and software (e.g., Adobe Creative Suite, Figma etc.).
  • Strategic thinking, you can balance creativity with business objectives.
  • Ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously, maintaining a high level of attention to detail and quality.
  • Passion for storytelling and brand-building, with a deep understanding of how design can impact business success.
  • Strong organizational, time-management, and problem-solving skills.

A BIG PLUS IF

  • You know how to develop typefaces or anything else related to crafting brands from scratch.
  • You have a solid understanding of the design work that goes into our other disciplines (digital, campaign and film).
  • You do other things related to design (illustrations, motion or 3D etc)

THE PERKS

Your role is based in Amsterdam in our office in the Houthaven. But if you like, you’re also welcome to work 1-2 days at home per week. Furthermore you will get:

  • Really, really good coffee
  • You get to sit in a room full of talented designers. Just like yourself.
  • The hardware that you need. Laptop or a beefy desktop computer for rendering. A wiiiide screen plus anything else you would need to shine
  • Travel (to work) expenses partly covered depending on distance
  • A stool massage, if you prefer
  • A lot of office dogs
  • To work on the most exquisite accounts there are
  • The nicest colleagues in town


WHO ARE WE?

We are a modern creative agency, a family of roughly 120 entrepreneurial doers, creatives, designers, strategists, producers, creators, developers, zeitgeist-hunting magic makers, from around the world. The different cultures, educations, languages, and even lunch habits, help us to create unique, cross-border work, award winning brands, campaigns, products and experiences. We’ve got an open atmosphere, little hierarchy, and an equal playing ground. We value modern creativity, curiosity, diversity, collaborations, honesty, and kindness. Yes, we go fearlessly forward!

WHY US?

We are international, diverse, fun and collaborative. We’ve got clients you’ve always wanted to work for and projects you’ve always wanted to be a part of.

WHY YOU?

Cause we would love to enlarge our family. We miss a big sister, crazy uncle, or witty nephew. And the most, we miss an over-enthusiastic sibling who is doing (or willing to do) something extra like mentoring the interns or coaching the juniors.

APPLY FOR THE JOB

If you feel this might be you and you have roughly 5+ years of professional experience, we‘d more than happy to meet you. Please say hi.

These are exceptional times, and they call for exceptional actions. We marry technology and zeitgeist; communication and experiences.
