About you
This is a role for a creative branding and digital designer with a curious mind that doesn’t look at problems at face value. A customer’s problem means it’s our problem to solve, and we have to scratch beneath the surface. You will be able to think about a customer’s business at a holistic level and challenge yourself to create delight in the seemingly mundane.
You are passionate about design and believe in its power to transform. You read and think about design and take inspiration from everywhere.
You will need to think at 20,000 feet but be exacting about execution, care about every pixel, understand the power of strong copy, and know the difference between a footmark and an apostrophe.
- With 7+ years of agency or freelance experience, you will bring your insights into our branding and design process, be an active contributor to our agency processes, have a growth mindset and be eager to do your best work no matter the project.
- An ability to look at a client problem through the audience’s eyes to help untangle the tangle a B2B client may get themselves in.
- Driven to create exceptional brand and digital experiences to challenge the status quo in B2B design.
- A portfolio that demonstrates craft and beauty that shows business-level problem-solving.
- Confident, able to defend decisions and construct arguments grounded in discovery and research.
- Proficient in Adobe Suite (Illustrator, InDesign PhotoShop etc.).
- Ability to seamlessly translate the brand into digital experiences and understand the power of atomic design principles in UI and UX design.
- Proficient in Figma to wireframe, design and prototype responsive client websites, with component-led design, being an advantage.
- Hand over well-documented rules to developers, such as spacing tokens, responsive typography, grids, layouts and interactions.
- Self-sufficient and motivated to work alone or collectively as a team to meet deadlines.
- Ability to create brand and web design from scratch but also work on existing brands and websites, strictly adhering to existing visual and verbal design patterns.
- Fiercely organised, a lover of craft with exacting standards.
- Questioning and open to criticism or direction.
- Good communication skills and comfortable working with clients direct.

About Kohde
We are a B2B design agency that creates brand, web, and product designs for start-ups, scale-ups, and enterprise clients in the SaaS and software space.
We embed ourselves in our customers’ businesses with the single-minded goal of transformation through design. We believe the only way to achieve this is through a long-term relationship.
We take pride in creating effective yet beautiful solutions.
We are a small team of designers, developers, and project managers with a keen eye for detail. We deliver exceptional work and form trusted, long-term relationships with our clients.
A candidate with B2B experience is preferred but optional. While we execute with a B2C mindset a candidate must understand the nuance and complexities of long sales cycles and multiple audiences in B2B, show evidence of turning complexity into simplicity and how design was the lever for change.
We are always looking for improvements in our processes and meet annually to discuss our collective performance. We are open to admitting mistakes but learn from them.
Our ambition is to grow into a close-knit team of strategists, researchers, designers, writers, and developers so a candidate who wants to go on a journey will thrive.
We are fully remote, with London being our hub to gather for monthly socials.
