Our entrepreneurial spirit drives us in what we do and what we are passionate about. Our mission is to become the premier health partner in the insurance business. Recognising the need for innovation in the traditional employee insurance model we are set to revolutionise the employee insurance industry. We help companies support people before and after they get sick and to make more of their time.

Our insurance solutions reduce monotonous and manual work for employees, doctors, HR & payroll managers. As we strive to lead a technology‑driven transformation, we put employees first.

At grape we pride ourselves on our people and our culture. We continue to grow fast and that’s where you come in. Our team is dynamic, diverse and full of creative ideas. Want to join? We can’t wait to get to know you!

Hi there. Janine here. I know, this is unconventional… I’m deviating from the regular job description script. Why? Because this role is different. The starting point for this role is different, and we want to communicate that clearly and transparently so we find our perfect match.

If you go onto our website and think, “This looks great”, we are not for you.

If you go onto our website and think, “Amazing opportunity for a rebrand to put my mark on this brand”, we are also not for you.

Because here’s the truth:
For the past year, we’ve worked on the fundamentals of our brand: from our brand identity (mission, vision, values, brand associations) to our tone of voice. From that, we’ve built a really strong visual foundation that we believe in long term. And now, we’re at a place where we’re looking to slowly build up in‑house design, and we need someone who can put the brand before personal signature, buy into the new visual identity, execute on it with care, and then, over the years, shape its trajectory and help develop it further.

No rebrand. No reset. Continuous improvement.

“How am I supposed to apply to a job where I haven’t seen the new visual identity? How will I know whether I can identify with it or not?”

That’s a great question. We’ve decided to give you temporary viewer access to our Figma if you reach out to our TA Manager, Marko (marko.pavicevic).

Now that that’s settled, here’s some more info on the role:

Our aim to revolutionise the employee insurance industry should shine through at every touchpoint. And for that, we need you. This role is paramount to the success of our team and our brand. We want to get it right.

You will breathe life into our brand with your design skills and branding expertise, ensuring we deliver high‑quality design solutions that connect with our audience, feel distinctly human, and feel distinctly us. You are equally skilled in creative direction and creative execution, taking ownership and occasionally working with freelancers to speed up the process.

To do that, you will put yourself in the shoes of many different stakeholders and work closely with our brand and marketing team to shape the grape story going forward.

The team, you ask?

At this stage of growth, most of us are generalists wearing many different hats each day. Outside of work, you might find us boating on the lake, snowboarding in Arosa, hiking in Appenzell, playing dress‑up with our kids, or looking out the window in a classroom in Bern.

A bunch of wonderful human beings, skilled in many different things in life. Each one is equally important in building this brand step by step, day by day.

• Execute on our new visual identity and help shape our brand guidelines going forward.
• Lead design projects from concept through delivery.
• Bring your creative expertise and know‑how to campaign planning just as much as to execution.
• Design and create digital and physical collateral for brand and marketing initiatives.
• Review design work from external partners to ensure high quality and brand consistency.

• You bring +6 years of experience, either from a…
