The opportunity
You're starting your creative career at a moment when iconic brands are made by people who understand both craft and strategy. At Interbrand, you'll work on real projects for ambitious global brands, learning from experienced designers, strategists, and writers from day one. You'll develop proficiency in emerging design tools and AI applications to further expand your craft, while building foundations as a versatile, cross-channel designer who understands how identity systems flex and evolve across all consumer touchpoints. You'll be trained in how we approach creative work through our Thinking & Making philosophy and Three Lenses, building strong foundations in design craft while collaborating with colleagues. This is a role where you'll ask questions, pay attention to detail, and develop the skills that will shape your career.
What we're looking for
As this role is located in Germany within an international working context, we are looking for business fluency in German and English.
Experience
Portfolio or internship experience in design. You may be a recent graduate or switching disciplines. Your genuine curiosity and willingness to learn matter most. Comfort with learning new tools rapidly, familiarity with generative AI tools is a big bonus, but not required.
Craft
You care about how things look and work. You want to understand why design choices matter and how they connect to what a brand is trying to do.
Collaboration
You're a genuine team player. You listen to others, contribute positively in workshops, take feedback well, and show you're eager to learn from experienced designers around you.
Learning
You're genuinely interested in brands, culture, design, and people. You follow what's happening in the world, ask good questions, and bring ideas and references to the team. You are curious about how AI and other new tools are reshaping the creative practice and are eager to understand both their potential and limitations.
Communication
You explain your work clearly, share progress and any blockers proactively, ask precise questions, and capture what you've learned and agreed.
Ownership
You take responsibility for what you commit to and deliver it on time and to a high standard. You show initiative and know when to ask for help.
