  • In addition, you take responsibility for the further development of design standards and creative processes, contribute actively in pitch situations, and support the expansion and professional leadership of the creative team.
  • Collaboration with external partners and freelancers is also part of your remit, as is monitoring new design, technology and AI trends and integrating them into modern communication solutions.
