Senior Designer | Art Director Digital (on site - Hamburg)

oktopods is a multi-disciplinary digital age creative wonder house.
We take brands to the next level, with smart marketing, cutting-edge tech, and AI. Creating experiences that excite people and help brands grow. With the right mix of strategy, technology and ideas, we make communication impactful.

We’re looking for a Senior Designer / Art Director with exceptional design craft, a sharp visual eye, and the ability to tell compelling stories across digital formats. This is not a UX role. You’ll develop digital campaign assets across all major touchpoints – from newsletter and banner to TikTok videos and fully designed landing pages. You’re fluent in Figma, skilled in motion and film editing, and excited about what AI tools can do for creative output. You know how to get from moodboard to masterpiece, quickly. And you’re not afraid to open Figma and push out a great layout within hours when needed.

• create digital campaign assets: banners, newsletters, SoMe assets, landing pages
• develop creative concepts for campaigns and turn them into client-ready presentations that showcase your visual thinking and design solutions
• produce motion design assets (After Effects or similar), edit short-form video content
• retouch campaign imagery and optimize visuals for different formats
• support strategy and creative leads in preparing killer presentations
• contribute to pushing AI-based tools into production
• collaborate closely with creatives, developers, strategists and clients

• 4+ years experience as digital designer / creative in agencies or digital teams
• strong conceptual and visual design skills across platforms
• solid skills in Figma, Adobe CC (Photoshop, After Effects, Premiere Pro)
• experience in motion design, editing and storytelling for digital formats
• basic coding understanding (HTML/CSS/JS – you don’t have to code, but you get it)
• first-hand experience with AI tools or a strong curiosity to integrate them
• confident communicator with a love for strategy, good vibes, and feedback culture
• German and English fluent

Your Superpowers:

Creative Firepower – You develop strong campaign ideas and turn them into scroll-stopping visual experiences. You speak both art and strategy fluently.

Digital Native – From Figma to After Effects, from Instagram Reels to responsive landing pages: you know how digital works and how users behave.

UX Mindset – You get excited when great design meets functional structure. You understand hierarchy, user guidance, and accessibility – and you push for smart UI decisions.

Tech Curious – You’ve got a basic grip on HTML/CSS and know how your design translates into code. You love learning new tools and AI workflows that improve your output.

Motion Addict – Static assets are cool – but motion makes them fly. You think in transitions, movement, and edits. You love telling stories in short-form formats.

🧠 You love developing smart creative ideas that actually work – no matter the format.

🚀 You thrive in fast-paced environments where thinking, designing, and doing go hand-in-hand.

💡 You know that even the best ideas need precision, craft and a touch of magic to truly shine.

• an exciting and diverse, international team with many exciting projects and international customers
• multitude of varied tasks and lots of room for personal responsibility
• a very young company opportunity package, including leading and building your own team
• a dog friendly office environment, with quite a gang
• a very competitive kicker table mind set and the kicker table to settle hierarchies clear
• we celebrate the power of inspiration and encourage it with a selection of training opportunities, both in-house and externally
• a competitive yet relaxed work environment, short decision-making processes, and a skilled team
• remote or in the agency – you and your team decide how you can work best
