Creative Designer

Creative Designer Opportunity

Octopus is a place for those who want to bring energy and good sense. Problems don't always come neatly packaged, answers aren't always written, and often there's construction to be done while running. But you won't be alone: you'll work with curious, generous, and practical people who help each other and want to leave things better than they found them. We're already improving the way energy works for people: if you want to take responsibility and contribute to this change, your work can have a real impact here.

We are looking for a Creative Designer to join our marketing team. You will work on everything we see and touch: from the app interface to campaigns on city walls, from website flows to social graphics. Your work will be concrete, visible, and have a direct impact on how over a million customers experience Octopus every day.

You will collaborate closely with various company teams, such as the tech team, to translate requirements and briefs into interfaces, graphics, and finished materials, fast, careful, and consistent with the brand.

What You Will Do

• Product & UI Design: Translate product requirements into flows, wireframes, and interfaces on Figma, taking care of states, responsive design, and edge cases.
• Content Creation & Motion Graphics: Create graphic assets, animations, and small video/motion contents for digital campaigns and social channels, impactful and engaging.
• Multi-channel Campaigns: Produce and adapt creatives for digital (Meta, Google) and offline (print, OOH) campaigns in the formats required by different publishers and portals, using the main design tools.
• Media Execution: Manage the declination of formats, upload to portals, and strict adherence to deadlines.
• Digital Evolution: Contribute to the maintenance and evolution of the website and personal area.
• Cross-functional Support: Support the graphic and brand requests for the team (flyers, gadgets, materials for offices and events).

Who You Are

• 3–5 years of experience in a design role, preferably in agency or startup contexts
• Excellent mastery of Figma for the UI and UX part, alongside a strong command of the main Adobe Creative Suite programs (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign).
• Skills in Motion Design: Good knowledge of After Effects (or similar tools) for creating animated graphics, micro-interactions, and video formats.
• Experience with the production of formats for digital and offline campaigns
• Ability to work on multiple fronts simultaneously, respecting deadlines
• Attention to the average user: you know how to put yourself in people's shoes and make design choices that work in reality
• Collaborative approach and willingness to work in the office in contact with the team
• Good operational autonomy: you carry out tasks without waiting for detailed instructions on each step
• Sensitivity to copy: microtexts, CTAs, labels, and error messages written in a clear and close to the spoken language of people
• Experience in sectors with a strong component of customer experience (utility, fintech, telco)

Why You'll Like Working Here

Doing your job well is natural in Octopus: you find the right conditions to express yourself best, because your objectives, those of your colleagues, and those of the company are perfectly aligned.

You will be part of a concrete, fast, and low-bureaucratic reality, where results count, the way we achieve them, and the impact we create for customers.

€32,000 - €40,000 a year. The regulations require us to indicate a salary range, and we think it's right to do so. At the same time, we don't like bureaucracy and don't believe a person's value can be contained in a table. We prefer to use common sense: the eventual offer will be built based on the evaluations made during the selection process, taking into account experience, skills, place of work, and alignment with the role and with what we are building.

Some research shows that certain people, particularly women, tend to apply only when they meet all the required criteria. But if this role excites you even if you think you don't have all the required qualifications, apply anyway: you could be exactly the person we are looking for.

In Octopus, we want to work with decent, honest, and empathetic people. Our people are our most valuable resource and the variety of perspectives everyone brings is what allows us to grow. We don't make distinctions of any kind: we offer the same opportunities to everyone, in an equitable and welcoming environment.

We believe that many skills can be acquired, while passion, potential, and the desire to learn make a real difference. That's why we value growth paths and gender diversity at all levels.
