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.

Hiring process

• 15 min intro call

• 30 min skill interview

• 20 min culture fit with the founders
