Art Director Digital - Taktzeit GmbH

(Junior – Mid) Art Director (m/f/d)
Digital Design & Motion

About us and the role: Brand & Sales Activation with TAKTZEIT
We bring brands to life. We drive sales.

Across all sectors for international corporations, retail groups and renowned medium-sized companies.

Who are we? We are TAKTZEIT, the sales activation agency based in Düsseldorf – since 2005!

Our creative work is a key pillar of our success. We develop a wide variety of media and promotional materials for our clients: from online adverts and social media content to videos and digital brand experiences.

As an Art Director specialising in UX/web design, 3D and motion design, you’ll support our creative unit and work as part of a team of over 20 colleagues from the fields of project management, (web) design and, of course, web development.

YOUR PROFILE

Are you a strong conceptual thinker, creative and stylistically in tune with the latest trends? Are you keen to deliver top-class work with us and drive new initiatives forward? Then you’ve come to the right place – we’re looking for you to join our team with immediate effect!

Your Responsibilities

You translate briefs into compelling digital visual solutions – from the initial idea through to final implementation
You develop layouts for digital touchpoints: campaign landing pages, social media adverts, website elements, newsletter assets, presentations and moving images
You conceptualise and design in Figma: UI-oriented layouts, components, templates, adaptations and well-organised libraries/guidelines
You create motion design (e.g. for social media, adverts, websites, presentations) – and bring messages to life
You produce 3D assets and animations (look development, lighting, simple set-ups through to elaborate scenes) – ideally in Blender
You prepare your work for internal reviews & client meetings: clearly, in a structured and transparent manner
You ensure that timings, feedback loops and files are transparent at all times (yes, including version statuses – we love order, but in a cool way)

Your Qualifications

Essential requirements

Training or a degree in design or communication – or a portfolio that speaks for itself
