Role Overview

We are looking for a Design Director – Brand that leads the creative vision and execution of immersive brand experiences in physical space. This role balances conceptual leadership and hands‑on spatial design, ensuring ideas are creatively ambitious and feasible.

This role focuses on:

• Define and drive the spatial brand vision across environments such as retail, exhibitions, events, pop‑ups, and brand activations
• Lead concept development from early spatial narratives to final design direction
• Ensure design excellence, brand consistency, and innovation across all touchpoints

This role is ideal for someone experienced in brand or event agencies who thrives in clarity, structure, and collaboration.

This is NOT a management or production lead role. You are the bridge between creatives and Spatial designers.

Key Responsibilities

Lead and define the spatial brand vision across retail, exhibitions, events, pop‑ups, and activations by driving concept development from initial narrative to final design direction while ensuring design excellence, brand consistency, and innovation across all touchpoints.

Spatial Design & Visualization

• Develop and refine 3D spatial concepts using Rhino (layouts, forms, key architectural and spatial elements)
• Produce or closely direct high‑end renders and visualizations that communicate design intent, atmosphere, and materiality
• Guide the creation of hero visuals, walkthroughs, and immersive presentations for clients
• Set visual standards for rendering quality, lighting, textures, and storytelling

Design Team Collaboration

• Lead, mentor, and coordinate designers
• Provide clear creative direction, structured feedback, and design reviews at all stages
• Allocate work effectively and ensure alignment between concept, detail, and delivery

Feasibility & Realization

• Ensure designs are feasible and scalable, balancing creativity with real‑world constraints
• Collaborate closely with architects, creatives, and project managers
• Translate conceptual design into clear spatial designs
• Present design concepts and visualizations confidently internally and to clients
• Translate client objectives into spatial design solutions

Required Skills Experience

Design & Technical Skills

• Advanced proficiency in 3D – Rhino (mandatory) for spatial and architectural design
• Strong experience producing high‑end and live 3D renders (e.g., Enscape (mandatory), D5; additional tools are welcome)
• Excellent understanding of:
  • Spatial composition
  • Materials and finishes
  • Latest design trends
  • Lighting and atmosphere
  • Human scale and user experience

Leadership & Experience

• 8+ years of experience in brand experience, spatial, events, retail, and experiential design
• Proven experience leading design teams and complex spatial projects
• Strong understanding of design feasibility
• Excellent communication, presentation, and storytelling skills

Nice to have:

• Experience in spatial or retail activation projects
• Familiarity with project management

What You Won’t Be Responsible For

• Producing technical build drawings
• Running productions

This role focuses on brand spatial experiences.

What We Offer

• Work on high‑visibility brand and retail environments for international clients
• Creative ownership within immersive spatial projects
• A collaborative, professional, and ego‑free team culture
• Hybrid flexibility with a strong Berlin‑based design team
• Direct impact on physical, consumer‑facing brand experiences
