We’re an international team – with our headquarters in St. Gallen, Switzerland; a growing team in the US; and colleagues working remotely from all over Europe. Frontify is built on a collaborative culture of experimentation, trust, and transparency. We believe in being happy and fulfilled at work and let our personalities shine through everything we do. Does this sound like the place for you? Then read on.
Your Team You'll be leading a team of designers, art directors, and videographers – everyone who's involved in the creative space. Your new colleagues are a curious, quick-thinking, and open-minded bunch who work toward one goal: To spread the word of Frontify – a home for brands.
Your Mission As a Creative Design Director with impeccable visual skills and design experience, you'll build a fresh global visual identity that caters to an audience of brand-builders, creatives, and designers. You possess a strong design toolbox and can thrive in a diverse culture of global brand builders. You're a fun and flawed human being who likes to shake things up and color outside of the lines. We're not looking for a perfect corporate drone.
Leading a team of professional creatives, you'll be impacting all aspects of branding design – from building a bold and cohesive visual identity to crafting impactful marketing campaigns in competitive contexts. Ultimately, making bold design choices, creating outstanding visuals, and inspiring your team will be at the core of everything you do.
