First things first: What is this role about?

We are Insider, the world’s first Integrated Growth Management Platform that is loved by marketers crafting experiences for the world’s most renowned enterprise brands. We help enterprise brands connect customer data across channels, predict future behavior with AI and individualize experiences.

We are expanding our Marketing nation across 25 countries and currently, we are looking for a new Design Team Lead. If you thrive on challenges, can’t hide your creative energy, have a hearty appetite for growth and if you are up for the challenge of your lifetime, we are looking for you.

Design team eats creativity for breakfast. Every morning, they walk into the Marketing room with their artsy cups, oversized jumpers and stand cool during daily meetings. When their Apple icon lights up, they zone out. The journey begins. You can find them chit chatting with the white rabbit, travelling on the notes of electro tunes or having a heartfelt conversation with Tobias Van Schneider on a rollercoaster. They breathe in colours and breathe out art. Everyday.

As our Design Team Lead you’ll join our designy folks, creative minds and trendsetters. If you think you have what it takes to inspire a team of Marketing artist to create a compelling story each coming day, if you are ready to lead our fast-growing design team supporting our design initiatives across 25 countries, and if you are ready to break all the rules that you have learned so far to start all over again, become one of us.
