Senior Brand Designer

Who We Are
Our mission is to unlock people potential around the globe.

Skillvue is the Skills Operating System for your organization, the objective skills data layer that maps every skill, combines science and leverages AI, and embeds that intelligence directly into the HR systems enterprises already run. We work with top-tier large enterprises across Europe.

We are a fast-growing HR tech startup backed by leading international VCs, having raised €9M+ from 360 Capital, IFF, Kfund, and 14Peaks.
We are a team of 50+ professionals passionate about shaping the future of talent decisions.

Role Overview
As our Senior Brand Designer, you will own Skillvue’s visual identity end-to-end, from building and maintaining our identity system to producing sharp, curated content across social, product, and science communication. This is a hands-on creative leadership role requiring both strategic thinking and strong execution. You will craft the visual language that makes a complex, AI-powered product feel clear, credible, and compelling, and bring it to life through motion, video, and brand storytelling.

Beyond identity, this person will play a crucial role in co-leading content marketing and growth marketing, owning the creative output across campaigns, events, and every touchpoint where Skillvue shows up in front of new prospects and existing clients.

Key Responsibilities

• Design and evolve Skillvue’s visual identity system: logo, typography, colour, iconography, and layout grids
• Art-direct all brand expressions: website, product launches, marketing content, outbound campaigns, events, and hiring campaigns
• Craft sharp messaging in close collaboration with founders, product, marketing, and sales teams
• Produce and edit video content end-to-end, from concept and storyboard through motion design, editing, and final delivery across all formats
• Build and maintain a scalable design system usable by internal teams and external partners
• Translate complex AI and science concepts into clear, engaging visual narratives

Requirements & Skills

• 5+ years of experience in brand design, ideally within a product, SaaS, or tech context
• A portfolio that demonstrates curation: you know what to remove, not just what to add
• Proven ability to work at both strategic and execution level, from concept to final file
• Hands-on motion design and video editing skills, proficient in After Effects, Premiere Pro, CapCut Pro, or equivalent
• Comfortable distilling complex scientific or product ideas into visual and written clarity
• Experience producing short-form video content independently for social or web
• Strong business awareness with the ability to align design decisions with brand and commercial goals
• High level of autonomy, ownership, and creative rigour
• Collaborative by nature: you share knowledge openly, work closely with cross-functional teams, and become a trusted creative reference point across the organisation
• Experience working in fast-paced, high-growth startup environments is a plus

What We Offer

• Full-time permanent contract
• Competitive salary based on experience
• Meal vouchers worth €8/day
• A collaborative, purpose-driven culture where your ideas shape the future of work
