As the Senior Brand Designer (Visual), you are responsible for shaping and delivering the visual and graphic expression of the brand across physical touchpoints.

This is a permanent position and the possible locations for this role are Helsinki or Vaasa (Finland), Gdansk (Poland) or Trieste (Italy).

Key responsibilities include:

Marketing assets:

• Driving the design of PowerPoint presentations and graphic and strategic materials to ensure high‑quality, on‑brand outputs across the organisation
• Designing and producing visual marketing assets, such as print materials, brochures, signage, and branded collateral
• Ensuring all marketing assets are visually consistent, high quality, and aligned with the brand identity and messaging

• Owning and delivering brand‑related design work for physical products
• Ensuring strong alignment between brand identity and product appearance, graphics, and visual details
• Collaborating closely with industrial design, product and engineering teams to integrate brand requirements
• Ensuring brand consistency and quality across physical product touchpoints

Physical brand touchpoints: events

• Supporting the Brand Operations Lead in the design and execution of physical events
• Providing graphic and visual design support for event environments, signage, materials, and branded elements, ensuring the visuals align with brand guidelines and contribute to a coherent overall brand experience

Other design work:

• Supporting ad hoc design needs from across the organisation, providing hands‑on design execution and visual guidance where needed
• Supporting brand initiatives, campaigns, and internal projects with high‑quality physical and visual design expertise

Position requirements:

• Understanding of industrial design and the ability to apply brand design within physical product contexts
• Experience with spatial and environmental design with the ability to translate brand identity into three-dimensional spaces (showrooms, office environments, exhibition stands, vessel interiors), not only 2D assets
• Strong understanding of brand systems, visual identity, and consistent brand application
• Ability to operate effectively in a complex, matrixed organisation
• Proven ability to collaborate directly with industrial design and engineering teams to integrate brand expression into physical products by understanding material, form, and manufacturing constraints
• Experience in managing external production partners (print houses, signage vendors, exhibition builders), including quality control, specification writing, and production oversight
• Portfolio demonstrating work in industrial or B2B environments, including event booths, product branding, facility branding, vehicle/vessel liveries, not only marketing collateral
• Ability to develop and maintain physical brand standards (material palettes, signage systems, environmental guidelines) that scale across global locations and touchpoints
• Strong project management skills for physical deliverables with long lead times, multiple vendors, and cross-functional dependencies (Procurement, Facility, Events)
