Your role
You own how fonio looks and sounds to the outside world. From our website to paid ads to our visual brand language — you set the standard and have the final say. You lead a small, high-impact creative team (Creative Strategist, Static Ads Designer, UI/UX Designer) and work closely with our Head of Content: she owns owned/organic, you own brand, paid, and web. We're B2B but want to build like a consumer brand — that's where you come in.
What to expect
You own fonio's entire visual and creative outward presence: brand, website, paid ads
You lead and grow a three-person creative team — setting direction and quality without micromanaging
You give final sign-off on creative output and hold a consistent standard across all channels
You stay hands-on enough to challenge concepts yourself and lead by example on quality
You report directly to our Director of Growth
Who we're looking for
Several years of experience as a Creative Director, Art Director, or in a comparable leadership role - ideally in a performance/brand environment
You've demonstrably built or sharpened brands and can show it through work, not just words
You enjoy leading but see yourself as an enabler, not a controller
You think brand and performance together - beautiful creative that doesn't convert isn't enough for you
German at native level + very good English
What we offer
Competitive salary: €90,000–€150,000
Equity - you're building this, so you should own a piece of it.
Food & drinks - lunch and dinner are on us at the Vienna office (plus all the drinks you want, and yes, we have protein bars and vitamins too).
Equipment of your choice - whatever makes you happy.
Regular team offsites.
