Creative Director (M/W/D) (Fulltime / Parttime 30hrs)
Context and Focus
Diverse clients. An interdisciplinary team. Projects that stick. At headraft, you take ownership of the creative quality of interactive brand experiences – and build the design department into a team that leaves the competition behind. You know agency life, you know how strong design is born from an idea, you win pitches and push your team forward.Creative Ownership & Innovation → You take full creative ownership — from the big idea to the final output — and hold the bar for visual quality. With your instinct for trends and your interest in communities, subcultures and gaming, you bring ideas to the table that actually resonate with the audience.
Client Consulting & Presentation → You guide clients through the creative process, balancing their needs and goals with what's digitally possible. Your instinct for storytelling and narrative lets you win pitches, lead workshops, and keep momentum in the day-to-day.
Team Development → You give the design team direction and create an environment where individual strengths become visible and grow. Drawing on your experience, you actively develop both the team and its processes.
Your background
At least 5 years of relevant professional experience, plus a degree or equivalent training in graphic, communication, or media design — or a comparable field
Expert-level command of Adobe Creative Suite and/or Figma, and confidence with current AI, design and production tools
Strong communication, presentation and workshop facilitation skills – in both German and English.
Proven experience leading creative teams, with a genuine drive to bring out the best in the people around you.
Why us?
headraft creates interactive brand content for the always-on generation – with expertise in Gaming, Augmented Reality, Mixed Reality, Interactive Installations and AI.
Open culture & mentoring with direct feedback and a team that supports and pushes each other
Freedom to choose between remote and office, flexible working hours
Diverse client portfolio – international projects, renowned clients and a strong partner network
State-of-the-art tech stack and the latest XR devices for experimenting and developing
Here's our process:
1. Apply: send us your CV. No cover letter needed, but we'd love a few lines on what drives you.
2. First chat: if it looks like a match, we'll reach out within 10 business days for a quick intro call (about 30 min).
3. Deep dive: we get into the details: your projects, how you work, what you're looking for. About 60 min, remote or at our Hamburg studio.
4. Meet the team (& lunch if it fits our schedules - we'll make sure there's something for everyone): no test, no pressure. Just good food and an honest conversation to see if we click.
