Description of the offer

About Paal15

We’re helping B2B tech companies across the globe to grow by bringing together the right combination of commercial knowledge, creative skills and active network across the tech ecosystem.

Job Description

At Paal15, we consider design a strategic function. It’s the moment where strategy comes to life, and the magic starts to happen. You will work cross-functionally with our strategy, messaging and marketing teams to optimise Paal15’s growth in key markets.

You’ll be in charge of translating business strategy into a visual reality by developing creative concepts, branding and visual frameworks up to the execution of a full spectrum of functional assets such as web design, presentations and sales and marketing materials.

Why should you care about this role?

Our clients, B2B tech organisations, go from our companies within the Paal15 group to exciting scale-ups across the globe to big tech brands (Microsoft, Adobe, Pure Storage, Accenture and more). In every case, either by helping them to define a new business model, route to market or launch a new solution, you’ll have exposure to strategic projects that will allow you to challenge what’s been written and make your mark.

About you

We understand that there are no perfect candidates. We’re interested in learning more about you, even if only a few of the following apply to you.

• You have a passion for building remarkable brands. You appreciate the art and strategy behind creating a brand that customers love and competitors envy. We offer you the freedom and responsibility to make this role your own and have a significant impact.
• You prioritise team and customer engagement. You actively interact with the design team and other teams in the organisation, always responding personally. This also entails ensuring you discover new learnings and translate them into improvements and experimentation.
• You have a knack for optimisation. You can analyse and optimise the work created by yourself and the team. You can identify areas of improvement and devise strategies to address them, either independently or with input from the rest of the team.
• You have a strong affinity for experimentation. You enjoy experimenting with various creative design methods, such as Generative AI.
