As a Junior Brand and Marketing Designer at Leapsome, you’ll be an essential part of our design team, working side-by-side with our Design Lead to bring ideas to life across brand and marketing touch points. This role is specifically designed for a designer early in their career who understands the unique pace and needs of a B2B product-focused environment.

You won’t just “execute briefs”; you’ll help shape how we design faster and smarter by exploring, testing, and implementing AI-powered design tools. If you love visual storytelling within a structured brand framework, thrive in a high-impact setting, and understand the difference between agency-style output and building a cohesive product brand, this role is for you.

This position is initially offered as a 1-year fixed-term contract, with the potential for extension or transition to a permanent position based on performance and business needs

• Execute B2B Marketing Assets: Support a wide range of tasks including LinkedIn ads, webinar slides, campaign visuals, and presentations that align strictly with Leapsome’s brand guidelines.

• Product-Focused Design: Apply your design skills to a product-centric environment, focusing on consistency and the long-term visual evolution of our brand rather than one-off agency projects.

• You transform concepts into high-fidelity visuals using Adobe Creative Suite. Whether it’s pixel-perfect assets or collaborating on UI/UX projects in Figma, I’m the engine behind the design team’s high-quality output.

• AI Experimentation:Take the lead in exploring AI design tools (e.g., Midjourney, Firefly), testing and comparing what works best, and figuring out which are actually worth pursuing. Turn what you learn into clear recommendations on what we should use, when to use it, and how it helps us move faster without losing quality.

• Iterate at Pace: Continuously refine assets based on feedback, demonstrating high adaptability and the ability to maintain quality in a fast-paced scale-up environment.

• Structured Communication: Clearly articulate your design decisions and project progress, ensuring alignment across the marketing and design teams.

• B2B Experience: You have foundational experience in graphic design, ideally within a B2B marketing team or product-focused setting (through internships or junior roles).

• Adobe Creative Suite Mastery: Drive high-quality visual output using Adobe Creative Suite, with Figma as a valuable secondary tool for UI/UX design and collaboration with the Design Lead.

• Driving Innovation through AI: Proactively explore and implement AI-powered tools (e.g., Midjourney, Firefly), bringing fresh thinking on how AI can improve efficiency, expand creative possibilities, and shape the future of our design practice.

• Adaptable & Fast-Paced: You thrive in environments where priorities move quickly and you can maintain structure under pressure.

• Rapid Learner: Bring clear examples of quickly picking up new skills or tools—often through self-directed learning—combined with strong coachability and a drive to continuously improve

• Strong Fundamentals: You have a sharp eye for typography, layout, and composition, with the ability to follow and implement brand constraints while remaining creative.

• Impact: Become part of a fast-growing scale-up taking over the People Performance & Enablement space by making work fulfilling for more than two million people by 2025

• Teammates: Join a diverse and international team of talented, smart, and kind people

• Feedback and recognition: We value feedback exchange and celebrating successes — big and small

• Hybrid model: We encourage you to spend 2 days per week in our Berlin office (Tuesdays and Thursdays are our sponsored lunch days, where lunch is provided by Leapsome).

• Flexible work: Experience a work-life balance with flexible hours and the option of working elsewhere for up to 2 months per year

• Learning and Development: Develop your skills with a yearly development budget of €2,000 and access to Good Habitz platform

• Vacation: Take 30 vacation days every year plus public holidays (or upgrade to 40 vacation days at adjusted pay) & benefit from a month-long paid sabbatical after 5 years with Leapsome

• Health & Wellness: Stay active and healthy with a free Urban Sports Club membership and Oliva subscription

• Mental health: Access to 1:1 therapy sessions via our mental health partner, plus company workshops and learning pathways on topics like mindfulness and digital wellness

• Corporate Benefits: Get exclusive discounts and deals from our partners.
