Zurich/Bern, hybrid

This role is part of our Experience & Engineering Team in Switzerland. We combine our skills in developing future-proof technical solutions with our expertise in design to create outstanding digital experiences that build lasting relationships with our clients – including Ricola, CSS, Edelweiss Air, Lufthansa Group, Stokke, and Just Eat Takeaway.

Job Purpose

In this job, you will create first-class experiences, design systems, and visual designs. You will work with talented designers in a customer-focused role, collaborate closely with our design leads, and balance independent work with team engagement – sharing ideas, feedback, and successes.

Key Responsibilities

• Bring fresh ideas to best practices and cross-industry insights to the project team.
• Translate strategy, data analytics, and UX into stunning interface designs.
• Make thoughtful yet bold decisions on when to use the design system and when to create something new.
• Present your work to clients and stakeholders and handle feedback confidently.
• Support your design decisions with annotations and bring them to life with animations.
• Take responsibility for the final delivery and ensure the highest quality in design and execution.

What We Are Looking For

• Good experience as a visual designer in an agency or at a renowned brand.
• Experience in designing websites, apps, and digital products.
• A strong portfolio (website or PDF) that showcases your experience and passion.
• Experience working in multidisciplinary teams.
• Experience with Figma and design systems is a must.
• Experience in motion design (Jitter) and with AI tools is a big plus.
• Working knowledge of English and German.
• Immediate availability for a role in Switzerland.

We Offer

• An excellent salary based on your experience and equal pay policy.
• Hybrid working: You can choose to work from our office or remotely, and we have core working hours where you can set your start and end times flexibly.
• Above-average social benefits and support for mental health.
• 25 paid vacation days with the option to take unpaid leave.
• We celebrate project and team successes together, and enjoy a cool drink together.
• You can choose between the spacious and accessible location in Zurich; in Bern, you will find a small but fine and fully equipped office where you can work in peace.
• A reputation for good work. DEPT® is a certified B Corp® since 2021 and has been named "Agency of the Year" at both the Lovies and the Webby Awards. Great clients. Whether big or small, local or global – at DEPT® you have the opportunity to work with clients of all sizes and from all industries. And we celebrate all our successes together!
• The opportunity for development. We want to enable you to do what you do best and help you develop your skills with training, education, and certifications.
• Global annual DEPT® Cares month where employees come together to use their skills to support local charities.

Who Are We?

We are pioneers at heart. What does that mean? We always look forward and think about what we can create tomorrow that doesn’t exist today. We are digitally born and represent a new agency model with deep capabilities in technology and marketing. That’s why we hire curious, self-motivated, and talented people who never stop innovating.

Our culture is big enough to scale, and small enough to care. This means we are big enough to provide you with the best tools, global opportunities, and benefits to help you thrive. At the same time, we act small by investing in you, your growth, and your team, and giving you the autonomy to solve our clients’ problems, no matter where in the world you are.

Diversity, Equity & Inclusion

At DEPT®, we are proud to create an inclusive workplace where everyone has an equal opportunity to succeed. We actively strive to recruit, develop, promote, and retain talented individuals from diverse backgrounds with different skills and perspectives.

Studies show that women and members of underrepresented groups often hesitate to apply when they feel they don’t meet all the requirements, even though they actually do. We believe in giving everyone a fair chance to shine.
