Freelance Brand & Identity Designer (fmd) (Stealth AI Energy Venture)

What we do

Build the identity of Europe’s first AI‑native energy supplier.

Energy markets are volatile, complex, and still running on outdated systems. At Zeus Energy we are creating the first AI‑native full‑stack energy supplier’s digital‑first platform that helps businesses buy, manage, and optimize their energy with intelligence, speed, and transparency.

We are backed by Merantix, Europe’s leading AI venture studio. At this early stage we are not just building technology; we are building a brand that will inspire trust among traditional industries while defining a new digital category.

Your role

We’re looking for a Freelance Brand & Identity Designer to create Zeus’ brand identity from the ground up. This is a rare opportunity to define the visual language narrative and digital presence of a company that aims to reshape how Europe’s businesses experience energy.

Responsibilities:

• Develop a bold, scalable brand identity.
• Design the digital foundations: website templates and key marketing assets.
• Craft a brand that balances modernity and credibility, appealing to German SMEs in traditional industries such as manufacturing, materials, and food & beverages.
• Shape the tone of voice and visual storytelling across all touchpoints.
• Collaborate closely with our UI/UX Designer to ensure seamless alignment between brand and product experience.
• Use a dedicated budget to commission supporting assets (e.g., photography, illustrations) when needed.
• Deliver a brand platform that is digital‑first, trusted by traditional businesses, and built to scale.

Your profile

• 4 years of experience in brand and identity design (agency or in‑house).
• Strong experience designing digital‑first brand systems (websites, product ecosystems, campaigns).
• Ability to translate abstract concepts into simple, memorable brand experiences.
• Fluent in English; German a plus.
• Portfolio required: Please share a link to your portfolio or case studies showcasing brand identity projects you’ve built end‑to‑end, including digital applications (e.g., websites, decks, campaigns).

We are an equal‑opportunity employer and value diversity. We consider all applications equally regardless of race, colour, ancestry, religion, sex, national origin, sexual orientation, age, citizenship, marital status, disability, or gender identity. We strongly encourage individuals from groups traditionally underrepresented in tech to apply.

What we offer

• Impact: Your work will define how customers, partners, and the market see Zeus from day one.
• Creative freedom: A blank canvas to design a category‑defining brand.
• Collaboration: Direct access to founders, UI/UX designer, and early design partner customers.
• Support: A dedicated budget to bring your brand vision to life with additional creative talent.
• Flexibility: Freelance engagement over 3 months with the option for ongoing collaboration if there’s a strong fit.
