Where Adtech Innovation Becomes a Story Worth Telling

The Marketing team hosts the storytellers of adjoe’s innovation. We turn complex adtech solutions – rooted in data and strategy – into compelling stories that resonate across the mobile advertising industry and beyond. Through our events, visual design, and strategic content, we take adjoe’s vision at the intersection of technology, user engagement, and marketing and make it tangible. All while building a community of forward-thinking industry leaders around our brand.

Your Mission & Who We Are Looking For:

  • Proven track record in a lead design role. You come from a Design Lead background within tech, B2B SaaS, AdTech, or a fast-paced agency environment. You have hands-on experience executing and applying established brand identities across global touchpoints. Reporting directly to the VP of Marketing, you will take ownership of bringing our new brand vision to life every day.

  • Execution-first lead. You are a hands-on practitioner who thrives in Figma and Adobe Creative Suite, leading by example in daily asset production. You will guide a team of designers across Hamburg and Singapore, managing creative production schedules, establishing efficient workflows, and ensuring high-quality, on-time delivery across time zones.

  • Global execution is your standard. You maintain meticulous attention to detail, ensuring every visual asset meets exact brand standards across all marketing channels globally (Americas, EMEA, and APAC). From major international event booth graphics to localized digital performance assets, you ensure flawless presentation down to the pixel.

  • Turns business narratives into design that sells. You work closely with Growth Marketing, Product Marketing, and Content to translate commercial objectives into design that does more than look good — it tells the story adjoe is selling. You understand the difference between a beautiful asset and an effective one, and you consistently deliver both. Design at adjoe is a commercial function, not a finishing layer.

  • Maintains scalable design systems. You build, organize, and maintain reusable design templates, component libraries, and asset management systems. This streamlines daily production and empowers regional teams, freelancers, and internal stakeholders to produce on-brand materials efficiently.

  • Versatile execution portfolio. Your work demonstrates exceptional technical craftsmanship and design precision across web and digital touchpoints, corporate presentations, event spaces, data visualizations, and performance marketing assets.

🌎 We welcome applications from talent worldwide and provide relocation support to Hamburg, Germany for those ready to join our team.

What’s in It for You?

At adjoe, we are not just managing campaigns; we're helping build the business engine behind one of the fastest-growing adtech platforms in mobile. We are proactively curious: we question status quo, think outside the box, connect the dots. The partnerships you close, the strategies you execute, and the markets you develop will directly shape how adjoe scales globally.

  • Go Big. Own commercial initiatives that move revenue and expand adjoe's market position.

  • Move Fast. Operate in a high-velocity environment where decisions are made quickly and impact is visible immediately.

  • Be Direct. Work in a culture where feedback is honest, collaboration is real, and politics are low.

  • Thrive Together. Grow alongside a diverse, global team of 250+ people from over 40 countries across 7 offices.

  • Have Fun. Celebrate wins, build lasting industry relationships, and bring your energy to a team that genuinely enjoys what they do.

We welcome applications from people who will contribute to the diversity of our company.
