Junior Graphic Designer

We’re looking for our new team member!

You love turning one strong idea into a whole visual world?

You have an eye for the little details that make a design stand out? You enjoy creating visuals that work together, across campaigns, formats and channels? And you want to grow by working on real products and real creative projects, together with a team that shares ideas and helps each other improve?
Perfect, then you've come to the right place!

Do we have your attention?

At HOLZKERN, we create watches and jewellery with unique natural materials. And we believe every piece deserves a visual story that feels just as distinctive. For our Visual Content team, we are looking for a Junior Graphic Designer (f/m/d), 20 hours per week, who combines a love of design with curiosity, initiative and a strong team spirit.

You will bring creative ideas to life for product launches, social media, seasonal campaigns and digital channels. You will learn how impactful individual designs become coherent creative families, from the first composition to the final export.

Your areas of responsibility

• Create visuals that make an impact: Design and refine static assets and simple animations for campaigns, Meta, CRM and product launches.
• Make one idea work across many formats: Adapt layouts, crops and variations with a consistent look, strong composition and attention to detail.
• Build on what already works: Use our creative templates and visual standards, improve them with your own ideas and recognize when something new is worth exploring.
• Put the product first: Make the authentic materials, details and distinctive character of our watches and jewellery visible. Check product references and claims carefully.
• Turn feedback into better design: Explore thoughtful iterations, learn from creative results and contribute to work that is not only beautiful but useful.
• Take care of the details: Prepare accurate, well organized files, naming, exports and editable sources, and review your work before handover.
• Create together: Collaborate closely with colleagues from Graphics, Photo, Video, Copy and Performance. Share ideas, ask questions and speak up early when something is missing.
