Building an Integrated Creative Team
The Hotz Group is in a phase of further development and is strategically expanding its creative competencies. In this context, we are developing a strong design team at the intersection of business strategy, brand, and design. The team will work for House of Manus as well as for the other companies in the group in the future. You can find more information about this at https://hotz.studio.
 
Our aspiration is to combine strategic and entrepreneurial thinking with excellent creative and design work. We do not see strategy and design as separate disciplines, but as mutual enablers that create sustainable value for companies and brands. For our creative team, we are looking for candidates who want to actively shape this path.

Shared Understanding of Collaboration
We are looking for personalities who enjoy contributing to a dynamic environment and are passionate about developing solutions with other talents that exceed the expectations of a classic agency. An agile, uncomplicated, and pragmatic way of working, initiative, and a strong team spirit are important to us. We work on an equal footing – regardless of function or hierarchy. We are looking for people who communicate openly, share knowledge, constructively receive feedback, and actively include other perspectives.

As a Graphic Designer, you will work on branding projects, visual identities, and digital applications. You will precisely develop visual systems, consistently apply brands across different touchpoints, and work closely with Art Directors, Strategists, and Consultants. The focus is on your design quality – at the same time, you are interested in the content and strategic contexts behind the design.
