You create marketing visuals such as display ads that strengthen our brand externally, working closely with our marketing team
You test new learning content from a designer’s perspective and provide targeted visual feedback that flows directly into product development
If you’re interested, you can also contribute to UI/UX design and help shape the visual development of our platform

You are studying Communication Design, Digital Design, Information Design, or a comparable degree (Bachelor’s or Master’s) and will be enrolled for at least two more semesters
You have a good eye for design and are proficient with Adobe Creative Cloud (Illustrator, InDesign, Photoshop, etc.); experience with Figma is a plus but not required
You have experience with AI-assisted image generation (Midjourney, Recraft, ChatGPT, etc.) — or you are a quick learner
You are reliable, structured, and enjoy diving into new topics
You have excellent German skills, good English skills, and an eye for detail

Your illustrations will be used annually by over 1,800 learners
Marketing visuals reach thousands more people depending on the campaign
An interdisciplinary, motivated team that thinks about content, design, and product development together
Pure startup vibes: a small, well-rehearsed team (approx. 23 people), quick decisions, and lots of room to try things out
