About the role

Develop Strong Visual Concepts and Campaign Ideas: Translate brand strategy and marketing objectives into distinctive visual concepts. Work closely with copywriters and marketers to develop campaign ideas, key visuals and creative directions that bring the Catawiki brand to life across channels.

Create High-Impact Visual Design: Design compelling creative assets across marketing touchpoints including campaigns, digital advertising, social media, CRM, landing pages and commercial materials. Ensure every output meets high standards of craft, clarity and brand consistency.

Use AI to Accelerate Creative Production: Leverage generative AI tools to develop imagery, motion and video assets that bring ideas to life quickly and efficiently. Translate creative briefs into structured AI workflows, iterate rapidly and apply strong art direction to ensure outputs remain visually distinctive and on-brand. You treat AI as a creative partner - using it to explore ideas, increase creative velocity and unlock visual directions that would be difficult to produce through traditional workflows.

Build Scalable Creative Systems: Develop visual frameworks and Key Visuals that can scale across multiple formats, channels and markets. Use AI to efficiently generate variations and adaptations while maintaining brand consistency and visual excellence.

Maintain and Evolve the Brand Design System: Contribute to the evolution of Catawiki’s visual identity and design guidelines. Ensure creative work remains consistent, distinctive and aligned with the broader brand strategy.

Collaborate Across Teams: Work closely with Brand, Performance Marketing, CRM, PR, Product and Category Marketing teams to deliver integrated creative work. Translate strategic briefs into clear visual solutions and partner with designers, copywriters and marketers to bring ideas to life.
