Design Director - Brand & Digital (w/m/d)

LAUDO is the best-rated design agency in Berlin. We create high-quality digital products and brands whose designs express simplicity and innovation. We are not a production-line agency; we are digital strategists who transform brands for the markets of the future.

Our goal is ambitious: we want to build the most successful brand and digital team in Germany. To achieve this, we are looking for a leadership personality who masters brand leadership on an excellent level and simultaneously possesses operational intelligence to scale a growing team.

We manage over 30 account managers, designers, and developers for clients like immowelt, WWF Germany, and the Berlin Transportation Company (BVG).

Aufgaben

As Design Director at LAUDO, you are the guardian of our creative vision. You are responsible for the quality of every project that leaves our agency and ensure that our work is strategically convincing.

• You set the standard for what we understand by “Design Excellence”. You challenge the team to think beyond the status quo and find innovative solutions that hit the brand's core.
• You transform a homogeneous team into a performance unit. Through “rational optimism” and radical autonomy, you create an environment where designers take responsibility and reach their peak. We want to make the best work of our careers, and you will set the framework for it.
• You lead clients with empathy and authority through brand and digital projects. You are not a service provider but a strategic partner who secures complex decisions.
• You excel in design and leadership, inspiring the team while also being self-motivated.
• You create structures for creativity. You optimize workflows (especially towards development) and lead projects together with our Director Brand & Digital Strategy to success.

Qualifikation

• You have at least 6 years of experience in established agencies and have already proven that you can lead teams through scaling processes.
• You have an exceptional portfolio that shows how you bring brand worlds to life across all digital and physical touchpoints.
• You want to make the best work of your career and demonstrate that uncompromising quality arises from leadership and freedom.
• You understand design and brand systems and use them as a strategic foundation. AI tools, Figma, and the Adobe Cloud are your natural habitat.
• You are a “coach,” not a “boss.” You address problems directly, empathize with your team, and communicate precisely in German and English.

The qualifications are important to us, but what matters most are people who convince us with their unstoppable drive. Apply even if you don't meet all the qualifications but have other skills.

Benefits

• Remote Work: Everyone in our team can work remotely and our infrastructure is set up accordingly.
• Flexible Working Hours: We believe in individuality. If you have your focus zone in the morning, perfect. If not, no problem – we respect your inner clock.
• Flexible Vacation Time: Plan your next vacation without complicated processes and simply agree with your team.
• 4-Day Week: We've introduced a 4-day week at our office, and every second Friday is free for everyone. With the same number of vacation days.
• Berlin-Kreuzberg: Yes, we live a life full of stereotypes. In the heart of Kreuzberg lies the origin of Döner, Köfte, Burgermeister – and our office.
• Professional Development: Plan your next professional development, conference, or workshop, and we'll cover the costs.
• We support your language skills with free language courses.
• Work Equipment & Software: Become proud owner of the latest Apple MacBook Pro. Additionally, you have access to software like the Adobe Cloud for free.

We especially want to motivate BIPoC, LGBTQ+, non-binary people, and parents to apply. Everyone is welcome!
