Brand Designer

This role sits at the heart of the Global DEPT® brand team in Amsterdam and Rotterdam. We’re responsible for shaping how the DEPT® brand shows up across every touchpoint — from global campaigns and social content to events, thought leadership, internal communications, and everything in between.

We’re looking for a Junior / Midweight Brand Designer with strong creative instincts, a sharp eye for detail, and a passion for building bold, modern brand experiences. Someone who can translate ideas into impactful visuals, thrives in a collaborative environment, and is excited to help evolve one of the most ambitious digital agency brands in the world.

• Stay up to date with design, motion, AI, culture, and digital trends — bringing new ideas and inspiration into the team.
• Present work clearly and confidently, while being open to feedback and iteration.

WHAT YOU'LL BRING

• 1–4 years of experience in a brand, agency, or in-house creative environment.
• A strong portfolio showcasing branding, digital design, social, and campaign work.
