Application deadline: 2 October 2026

WVH is looking for a Senior Designer with a strong focus on digital design to join our studio in Munich.
You’ll work closely with the team on identities, websites and digital platforms for cultural institutions, brands and organisations.
We’re looking for someone who can move confidently between concept and execution — someone with a strong visual point of view, a precise understanding of typography and identity, and the ability to turn complex structures into clear digital experiences.
You should be as comfortable developing an idea as you are refining a responsive layout, setting up a design system or discussing implementation with developers.
This is an in-house role within a small team, with a high level of responsibility and room to shape projects from the beginning.

The Role
You’ll lead and develop digital projects from first concept through to launch.
That includes defining information architecture and navigation, shaping user journeys and interaction logic, translating identities into responsive systems and developing detailed designs and prototypes.
You’ll work closely with developers throughout implementation and stay involved through testing, refinement and launch.
Digital is the core of the role, but not its boundary. You’ll also contribute to identity systems, typography, presentations, motion and wider creative development across the studio.

The Work

• • Develop concepts and visual directions for websites and digital platforms.
• • Define information architecture, navigation and user journeys.
• • Create interaction concepts and clear user guidance.
• • Design responsive interfaces across desktop, tablet and mobile.
• • Build and extend flexible design systems.
• • Develop high-fidelity designs and interactive prototypes.
• • Translate visual identities into strong digital experiences.
• • Plan websites around CMS structures, content and editorial needs.
• • Collaborate closely with developers from design through implementation.
• • Review and refine projects through testing, QA and launch.
• • Work across content-driven websites, platforms and e-commerce projects.
• • Create clear presentations that communicate ideas, systems and design decisions.
• • Take ownership of projects and organise your work independently.
• • Contribute to identity, typography, graphic systems and motion across the studio.

What you bring

• • +3 years of professional experience in digital design.
• • A strong portfolio of launched projects.
• • A sharp eye for typography, layout and visual systems.
• • Strong knowledge of information architecture and navigation.
• • Experience with interaction design, user guidance and user journeys.
• • Experience building and maintaining design systems.
• • A strong understanding of responsive web design.
• • High-fidelity prototyping skills.
• • Experience designing CMS-based websites.
• • Experience taking digital projects through development, testing and launch.
• • Excellent Figma skills, including variables, auto layout, components and prototyping.
• • A highly structured approach to files, systems and workflows.
• • Strong organisational and project management skills.
• • Confidence working independently within a small team.
• • Strong communication skills in German and English.

Nice to have

• • Experience with accessibility standards such as WCAG and EAA.
• • Knowledge of accessible interface design.
• • Understanding of web performance and optimisation.
• • Basic knowledge of contemporary JavaScript frameworks.
• • Experience with motion design and interface animation.
• • Experience with 3D or other image-making techniques.
