Creative Art Director - Turn your creative superpowers into sustainable impact

One day, your grandchildren will ask you what you did to combat climate change. Working as a Creative Art Director at Grundfos will give you the perfect answer to that question.

Before we get to explaining the context behind that statement, let’s start by telling you exactly what you’ll be doing in your new job at Grundfos. Spoiler alert: It’s an amazing gig.

You will play a major role at one of Denmark’s largest organisations. You’ll develop cutting-edge creative concepts, inspiring and setting the direction for our visual brand experiences, engaging our stakeholders to continue to help push our brand identity to new heights.

Let’s give you a minute to wipe the coffee you just spat all over the screen in disbelief of how cool that sounds…

You’ll join a dynamic, global team of brand and marketing professionals, all working passionately to set a creative direction and inspire excellence. And you’ll play a crucial role in driving long-term brand building, positioning Grundfos as a thought leader who pioneers solutions to the world’s water and climate challenges and improves the quality of life for people.

You’re already sucked in, searching through all the folders and sub-folders on your computer for your latest CV and portfolio. But you get ahold of yourself and continue reading.

Skip to here for your actual job tasks
For a moment, you wonder why this part isn’t at the top of the ad. You quickly shake it off, because here are the magical list of bullet points job ads are known for. Your main tasks include:

• Developing and executing awe-inspiring creative concepts and visual experiences.
• Taking the lead, inspiring and supporting our organisation to use our core brand assets to make game changing executions.
• Developing and implementing our brand and design identity and taking it to new heights.
• Educating, training and inspiring our organisation and creative agencies to create a unified brand experience across all platforms. Yes, bring it on.

It all sounds top class to the point where you’re contemplating whether those 4 bullets are the coolest you’ve ever read. It’s the kind of procrastination we encourage, really, because short breaks are necessary to keep the creative juices fresh and flowing. It’s one of the main reasons our department engages in all kinds of creative, inspirational sessions and events.

What we expect from you
We believe that everything can be taught along the way. So, for us, the main thing is that you’re a nice and passionate person. You smile in agreement with this sentiment, as you scroll through another list of bullet points – markers that’ll help you get off to a good start.

• You have at least a 2-3 years’ experience from a similar role, pushing the boundaries and making stunner impact.
• You’re curious, proactive and totally driven to deliver innovative, inspiring experiences.
• You’re properly excited about immersing yourself in new projects and identifying new possibilities.
• You possess strong creative skills, taking a holistic approach to your work, all while focusing on getting the details right.
• You adore tools such as Adobe InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop, Adobe After Effects and Figma.

You enjoy designing assets for both physical and digital touchpoints.

What about us?
Here’s where we get to talk about ourselves! Jokes aside, you have good reason to be really excited, because Grundfos is one of the world’s leading water technology companies and a thought leader within the industry. Our skills commit us to pioneering solutions to the world’s water and climate challenges and improve the quality of life for people.

Finally, you get that satisfying “Aha” moment as you understand the grandchildren statement from the beginning of the ad! You’re so excited that you skim through the last bit. Free coffee, four different lunch selections, social activities. Love it.

It’s time to get cracking on your application. Good luck – go get it.
