About the role

  • Studying design and creating illustrations for digital learning at gyde's learning platform. Collaborating with teams to enhance the visual style and user experience of learning formats.

Responsibilities

  • You develop and refine illustrations for our microlearning modules — from small scenes and characters to icons and explanatory graphics that intuitively guide learners through the content
  • You create company-specific designs for our gyde Academy and thereby help shape the visible look & feel of our clients
  • You are our point of contact for illustrations & graphics and help define the visual style of our brand
  • You work on design concepts that you creatively develop further and consistently expand our illustration and image library — for both internal projects and gyde Academy clients
  • 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

Requirements

  • 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

Benefits

  • A versatile role with real opportunities for development and creative responsibility
  • The chance to actively shape modern learning formats and to implement your own ideas visibly
  • The opportunity to collect high-quality material for your portfolio
  • Insights into the development of digital learning content, design, and platform — from the idea to the finished product
  • You will work closely with our Design Lead, Lara. We won’t throw you in at the deep end; instead, we offer professional mentoring and sparring
  • You will expand your design skills through the use of modern AI tools and learn to use them effectively as a creative assistant
  • 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
  • Open, friendly atmosphere — from regular team days to our legendary Thirsty Thursdays
  • Flexible working hours
  • Partial remote work possible after onboarding
  • We provide a MacBook so your creativity isn’t limited by hardware
