Job Description
Career.zycto is on the hunt for a visionary and versatile Graphic Designer to join our thriving creative team in the vibrant Cologne Messe Area. If you are passionate about transforming concepts into compelling visuals and thrive in an environment that values both artistic integrity and work-life balance, this role is for you. We are seeking an individual who can not only bring fresh perspectives and innovative design solutions but also adapt to a dynamic workflow with flexible scheduling options. This isn’t just about creating pretty pictures; it’s about crafting visual narratives that resonate, engage, and inspire across various platforms and audiences.
As our Graphic Designer, you will be instrumental in shaping the visual identity and communication strategies for a diverse range of projects. You will collaborate closely with marketing, content, and product teams to conceptualize and execute high-quality design assets that uphold our brand standards while consistently pushing creative boundaries.

Your role will involve understanding complex briefs, translating them into visually stunning designs, and ensuring brand consistency across all touchpoints.
We understand that creativity doesn’t always fit into a rigid 9-to-5 box. That’s why we’re proud to offer flexible schedules, allowing you to tailor your work hours to better suit your personal life, within core collaboration times. Whether you prefer a slightly earlier start, a later finish, or even a compressed work week (e.g., 4×10 hour days), we’re open to discussing arrangements that empower you to do your best work while maintaining a healthy work-life integration. This flexibility is designed to foster a sustainable and inspiring creative process, ensuring you have the space and time to recharge, continuously innovate, and deliver exceptional results. Join Career.zycto and become a key visual storyteller in a forward-thinking, design-centric organization that truly values its creative talent.
