Brand Designer

We’re looking for a mid-level Brand Designer to help us evolve and scale the HousingAnywhere brand across campaigns, product surfaces, and internal communications.

We’re on a mission to become the go-to destination for students across Europe to find a trusted home away from home. We make every move simple and seamless, so students can focus on what really matters: studying, exploring, and growing in their new city.

With HousingAnywhere, Kamernet, and Studapart under our roof, we’re proud to be Europe’s largest mid-term rental platform. And we’re just getting started.

Our international teams are driven by a shared purpose: to empower students to embrace change, unlock their potential, and shape a world without borders. You’ll find us in Rotterdam, Paris, and Cergy, working across cultures and time zones, always guided by our four core values:

• Ownership
• We are Enablers
• We are Changemakers
• We are Connectors

Our brand plays a critical role in building trust, clarity, and emotional connection at every touchpoint, from product to marketing to internal communication.

The Design Craft team exists to scale design quality, consistency, and impact across the organization. We build systems, standards, and shared practices that empower teams to move faster while raising the bar for craft.

The role

You’ll work closely with Brand, Product, Content, Marketing, and Internal Communications to deliver high-quality brand assets that are consistent, reusable, and production-ready. This role is ideal for someone who cares deeply about craft, systems, and collaboration, not just execution.

You won’t just design outputs. You’ll help improve how brand design is produced, reused, and scaled across teams.

What you’ll do

Brand execution and delivery

• Design high-quality brand assets across campaigns, social media, product surfaces, presentations, and internal communications
• Translate brand guidelines into clear, practical, reusable assets that teams can confidently use
• Deliver production-ready designs with a strong eye for consistency, accessibility, and detail

Systems, templates, and scalability

• Contribute to the evolution of the HousingAnywhere brand system, templates, and shared components
• Help reduce repetitive work by designing reusable layouts, asset libraries, and patterns
• Support the adoption of brand systems across Marketing, Product, Sales, and Leadership

Collaboration and craft

• Work closely with Product Designers to ensure brand consistency across product experiences
• Partner with Content, Marketing, and Growth teams to align visuals with narrative and messaging
• Participate in design critiques, feedback loops, and craft reviews to continuously raise quality

Quality, speed, and confidence

• Help reduce rework by clarifying briefs, expectations, and brand constraints early
• Balance speed and quality by leveraging systems rather than reinventing assets
• Contribute to improving brand confidence and clarity across teams

What we’re looking for

Experience

• 3–5 years of experience as a Brand Designer, Digital Designer, or similar role
• Experience working with brand systems, templates, or design systems
• Experience designing for multiple channels such as marketing, product, social, and internal comms

Skills

• Strong visual design fundamentals: typography, layout, color, composition
• Ability to design within constraints and systems without losing creativity
• Comfortable translating abstract brand principles into practical assets
• Strong Figma skills, including components, styles, and libraries

Collaboration mindset

• Clear communicator who can explain design decisions and receive feedback
• Comfortable working with cross-functional partners and ambiguous briefs
• Curious about improving processes, not just outputs

Bonus points

• Experience working in scale-ups or product-led companies
• Familiarity with motion, illustration, or AI-assisted workflows
• Experience collaborating closely with Product Designers or Engineers

What success looks like in this role

• Brand assets are easier to reuse, adapt, and scale across teams
• Reduced design rework and faster delivery without sacrificing quality
• Stronger consistency and confidence in how the HousingAnywhere brand shows up
• Clear contribution to shared systems, templates, and brand foundations
• Teams feel empowered to use brand assets correctly and independently

Why join us

• You’ll help shape how brand design scales in a fast-growing international company
• You’ll work within a Design Craft team focused on long-term quality, not just output
• You’ll collaborate with talented designers across Brand, Product, and Content
• You’ll have space to grow your craft, systems thinking, and strategic impact

What’s in it for you

• Unlimited paid holidays, minimum-based not maximum!
• Position based in our Rotterdam office with hybrid working policy (2 office days).
• Flexibility to work remotely for up to 2 months per year!
• 1,000 EUR personal development budget.

• Personal equipment, including laptop and ergonomic setup.
• Gym membership discount with GoVital or OneFit.
• Dutch/English classes budget.
