Description

Your Role (80–100%, by arrangement)

As a Senior Graphic Designer (or Mid-Level), you are the creative and operational backbone of our agency. Your task is twofold: you develop and implement strong visual concepts while simultaneously managing projects from A to Z.

As a true mentor, you support a team of junior profiles, foster their development, and pass on your knowledge. You act as the interface between client requirements, the agency’s creative vision, and production, thus ensuring the quality of results and adherence to deadlines.

Contract type: Fixed-term contract for maternity cover from approximately September to March (exact dates by arrangement), with the possibility of development into a permanent position (sustainable perspective due to the agency’s growth).

Your Tasks

Creative Direction & Graphic Design

Concept & Implementation: Development and realisation of visual concepts and their adaptations for all communication channels within a 360° communication framework (print, digital, social media, brand identities, events).

Responsibility for Brand Image: Ensuring the art direction of projects, maintaining a consistent visual line, and reviewing creative quality before client presentation.

Marketing All-Rounder: Active participation in campaign implementation and adapting the creative approach to the agency’s various areas of expertise (web, video, strategy).

Project Management & Team Leadership

Coaching & Mentoring: Supervision, support, and daily leadership of a junior team (2–4 people) to specifically develop their skills.

360° Project Management: Leading multidisciplinary projects – from client briefing (in French or Swiss German) to final delivery.

Planning & Organisation: Creating project plans, early identification of operational risks, task distribution within the team, and ensuring budgets and deadlines are met.

Your Profile

Experience: At least 5 years of professional experience as a graphic designer in a communications agency, ideally with initial successful experience in project coordination or team leadership.

Languages: Native Swiss German speaker (or perfectly bilingual Swiss German/German) with very good French skills, both spoken and written, to successfully manage projects in both language regions.

Technical Skills: Excellent knowledge of the Adobe Creative Suite (InDesign, Photoshop, Illustrator) as well as Figma. Knowledge or strong interest in digital, video, or web design is a big plus.

Personal Skills: Natural leadership, structured working style, independence, and strong solution orientation. You combine Swiss precision and organisational talent with creative flexibility.

What We Offer

• A strategically important, versatile position with great responsibility in a dynamic agency.
• A genuine long-term development perspective (possibility of permanent employment after the fixed-term contract).
• The chance to co-shape the visual identity of a wide range of clients within 360° projects.
• A committed, appreciative, and inspiring team with a personal atmosphere.
• An environment that encourages initiative, independence, and creative ideas.

Start: Approximately September to March (by arrangement).
