About Patronus
Patronus develops smart emergency call technology that gives seniors greater safety and independence in their daily lives. More than 25,000 people already rely on us. As a Berlin-based healthcare startup backed by financially strong investors, we’re growing rapidly—and in this role, you’ll help drive that growth.
As a Motion & Graphic Designer (f/m/x), you’ll join our marketing team, which we’re currently growing to 6 people, and report to our Head of Marketing. This role exists because we need higher production speed for fresh, channel-ready assets. What defines us as a team: fast execution instead of long approval loops, short decision paths, and plenty of room to try out and directly implement new ideas, formats, and AI tools.
This role is deliberately set up as a hands-on craft role: you’re close to the pixels and the timeline, and you genuinely enjoy creating things yourself.
What you'll do
Performance Creatives: Create and iterate ad creatives for paid channels (social-native video, static and native ads), in close collaboration with performance marketing and based on performance data and feedback
Brand Assets: Design visual assets for website, CRM and occasionally print, with a consistent visual identity across all channels
Templates & Design Systems: Evolve templates, design systems and creative libraries to keep production fast and on-brand
AI Workflows: Use AI tools to speed up ideation, production and variant development
What you bring
Training or degree in graphic, communication or media design or a comparable qualification, plus a portfolio with relevant work samples
3+ years of experience in a digital business, e-commerce, an agency or a fast-paced start-up, producing assets at a high output rate
Experience across formats and channels, from graphics and video editing to motion graphics and social video for paid ads, website, CRM and print, including refining creatives based on performance feedback
Expert in Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Premiere Pro, After Effects) or comparable tools; Figma experience is a plus
Strong affinity for AI tools (e.g. Midjourney, Veo, Runway, Creatify, Claude) and the drive to build them into your creative workflow
Hands-on mindset with high ownership: you turn ideas into finished assets quickly, handle shifting priorities well and prefer trial and error over perfectionism
Fluent English; German is a plus
