Digital Media Designer

🎤 Who we are:

Swat.io is a Software-as-a-Service product that supports marketers in Social Media Publishing and Community Management. We are proud to be an independent and self-financed product-led company and hence focus on building a product that users actually love.

• Awareness of current online design trends and effective use of static, animated, and video content
• Ability to prioritize, manage projects efficiently and drive them forward with ownership, reliability and decisiveness
• You are seeking to collaborate and proactively contribute your expertise to achieve team goals
• Excellent German and English language skills. If you are not fluent in both written and spoken German, we unfortunately won’t be able to move forward with your application for this role
• An open and positive personality with good communication skills, creativity and data-driven decision making

Nice-to-haves:

• Affinity for Social Media Marketing, SaaS, B2B Marketing
