Your Mission & Who We Are Looking For:
Proven track record in a lead design role. You come from a Design Lead background within tech, B2B SaaS, AdTech, or a fast-paced agency environment. You have hands-on experience executing and applying established brand identities across global touchpoints. Reporting directly to the VP of Marketing, you will take ownership of bringing our new brand vision to life every day.
Execution-first lead. You are a hands-on practitioner who thrives in Figma and Adobe Creative Suite, leading by example in daily asset production. You will guide a team of designers across Hamburg and Singapore, managing creative production schedules, establishing efficient workflows, and ensuring high-quality, on-time delivery across time zones.
Global execution is your standard. You maintain meticulous attention to detail, ensuring every visual asset meets exact brand standards across all marketing channels globally (Americas, EMEA, and APAC). From major international event booth graphics to localized digital performance assets, you ensure flawless presentation down to the pixel.
Turns business narratives into design that sells. You work closely with Growth Marketing, Product Marketing, and Content to translate commercial objectives into design that does more than look good — it tells the story adjoe is selling. You understand the difference between a beautiful asset and an effective one, and you consistently deliver both. Design at adjoe is a commercial function, not a finishing layer.
Maintains scalable design systems. You build, organize, and maintain reusable design templates, component libraries, and asset management systems. This streamlines daily production and empowers regional teams, freelancers, and internal stakeholders to produce on-brand materials efficiently.
Versatile execution portfolio. Your work demonstrates exceptional technical craftsmanship and design precision across web and digital touchpoints, corporate presentations, event spaces, data visualizations, and performance marketing assets.
