Job description

At what. AG, design isn't a side function – it's the core of who we are. We're a digital consultancy based in Zurich, helping startups and global brands build websites, digital products, and growth strategies that matter.

We're a team of 50+ international specialists who care deeply about creating impactful digital work. From bold creative websites to complex digital products, we always put quality and collaboration first. Our clients range from fast-moving startups to global brands – and we're proud to guide them with creativity, craft, and a spirit of partnership.

We're now looking for a senior designer (freelance) to join our team for the long run. Someone with a sharp eye for aesthetics, strong product design skills, and the ability to turn complexity into simple, intuitive experiences. If that's you, keep reading.

Job requirements

About the role

You'll take the lead on projects ranging from creative websites to complex web applications. That means:

  • Creating concepts, user journeys, and prototypes

  • Designing interfaces that are both beautiful and usable

  • Collaborating closely with clients, users, and our team of designers and developers

  • Bringing in your strengths in branding, motion, or visual craft to push projects further

  • Advocating for design quality across the company and lifting others with your knowledge

This role is for someone who can own the design process from A to Z and loves doing it.

What we're looking for

  • Proven experience as a senior designer (agency or product side)

  • Strong visual design skills paired with product design expertise

  • Confidence in Figma (our main tool)

  • Understanding of web technologies and how design meets development

  • Excellent communication in English (spoken & written)

  • Bonus if you bring skills in branding, motion, or interaction design

What you'll find at what.

  • A talented international team that values collaboration and creativity

  • An environment where design has a central role and real impact

  • Projects with both startups and global brands

  • A flat hierarchy with lots of responsibility and influence

  • Flexible freelance setup, work from anywhere

  • Fair compensation, plus opportunities to collaborate long-term

We believe work should be something you want to do – not just something you have to do.

Perks

  • You take control of your availability – need to take care of something in the morning and want to catch up later? No problem. We are results-oriented and don't micromanage.

  • Flat hierarchy – decisions get made fast.

  • You'll have a large amount of responsibility and influence in your department. If you see something that could be improved, speak up – we're listening.

  • Multicultural, multidisciplinary team that values learning, improvement, and collaboration.

  • 25 days holiday allowance for full-time employees, plus public holidays off.

  • Fair compensation with the possibility of joining our profit participation scheme.

  • Opportunities to visit clients on-site in Switzerland.

  • Access to an exclusive coaching programme, available upon application.

How to apply

Skip the CV. We care about your work and how you think.

Please send us:

  1. Portfolio with your best projects

  2. A 1–3 min video (Loom, YouTube, etc.) where you walk us through 2–3 projects you're proud of. Tell us your contribution and why they matter to you.
