We are looking for a Brand & Design Manager to own MCW's visual identity across all touchpoints — digital, physical, and event-facing — helping Munich Climate Week show up consistently and compellingly across the whole city.

This is a volunteer role with real responsibility, creative freedom, and high visibility — working closely with the Comms Lead, Content Creator, Social Media Manager, and a professional design agency who set the brand foundations.

What You’ll Do

• Translate brand guidelines and assets from the Design Agency into practical, team-ready resources — templates, style references, and usage rules.
• Build and maintain a library of reusable templates for social media, website, newsletters, and recurring content formats — making them easy to use for the Content Creator and SM Associates.
• Produce one-off designs for campaigns, announcements, and key milestones, maintaining visual coherence with the overall brand system.
• Own the MCW visual asset library — organising, versioning, and distributing files across the team.
• Support partner amplification with co-branded assets and ready-to-share packs — logo lockups, banners, post variants, and story frames.
• Lead the design and production of merchandise, from concept to supplier coordination.
• Develop event-facing materials — signage, displays, printed collateral, and branded installations — that bring MCW's identity to life on the ground.
• Flag any brand gaps or new design needs to the Comms Lead for escalation to the Design Agency.

What Success Looks Like

• The team has a clear, accessible library of templates and assets they actually use.
• Visual consistency is maintained across all channels and formats throughout the campaign.
• Design turnarounds are reliable — the team knows they can count on you.
• MCW looks and feels like a major city-wide initiative at every touchpoint.

What We’re Looking For

• Strong graphic design skills with a portfolio demonstrating clean, modern work.
• Confidence working within a brand system and producing consistent layouts quickly.
• Familiarity with Canva and/or Figma — and exporting correctly for each platform.
