Working Student – Brand & Visual Design

About ApherisAt Apheris, we are building the future of how AI is applied in pharmaceutical R&D. We enable leading pharmaceutical teams to discover and develop drugs faster. We host the industry’s largest federated data networks for drug discovery AI, spanning co-folding, ADMET, and antibody developability. Across these networks, models are trained on proprietary industry datasets to achieve higher performance and broader applicability while keeping data control and IP protected. We deliver these superior models through drug discovery applications that enable teams to run them at scale, further customize them, and integrate them into existing R&D workflows. AI Structural Biology (AISB) Network: Pharmaceutical companies collaborate in the field of co-folding, structure-based binding affinity predictions and antibody design.ADMET Network: Pharmaceutical and biotech companies collaborate to improve small-molecule property prediction and expand into further drug modalities.Antibody Developability Network: Pharma partners collaborate to federate historical and purpose-built antibody developability data sets for secure ML training, without data leaving each partner’s environment.About the roleAs our Working Student – Brand & Visual Design, you will look after the Apheris brand day to day: keeping our templates and assets consistent, producing the visuals our commercial and scientific teams need, and improving how we present complex science to a technical audience. This is a hands-on role for someone with a sharp eye for B2B design who can work quickly without letting quality slip. Briefs will not always be complete, and priorities shift as we grow, so you will often shape the brief as much as execute it. The work moves quickly and you will usually have several requests running at once. We value pragmatism: knowing when a piece needs further polishing and when a good version delivered today is the right call.What you will doBrand system and templatesMaintain and extend our master templates (PowerPoint, one-pagers, Word documents) so every team works from the same, up-to-date standardKeep our asset library (icons, graphics, imagery) organized, current and easy to useCheck outgoing materials for brand consistency and fix issues before they reach customersExternal materialsDesign and refine pitch decks, product one-pagers and fact sheets for our sales and partnerships teamsCreate and update website graphics and page visuals in WebflowProduce social visuals for LinkedIn and event materials for conferences, such as brochures, posters, roll ups, banners.Create short videos and motion graphics for social, the website and product demosInternal communicationCreate visuals for internal presentations, all-hands and company updatesHelp turn scientific and technical content into clear diagrams and explainer graphicsTest and document AI-assisted design workflows the wider team can reuseWhat we expect from youEnrolled in a bachelor's or master's programme in Communication Design, Media Design, Visual Communication, Marketing or a related fieldA portfolio from your studies, personal projects or freelance work that includes B2B, editorial or information design, not only illustration or consumer brandingA trained eye for typography, spacing, grids and visual hierarchyConfident with professional design tools such as Figma, Adobe Creative Cloud or Canva, and curious about AI design tools such as Claude DesignOpinions on design tooling and ways of working are a plus: you will be the design specialist on the team, so you will have a real say in the tools we use and how we set them upExamples of event or print design (e.g. brochures, posters, roll-ups, banners) are a plusVideo editing or motion design skills (e.g. After Effects, Premiere Pro) are a big plusOrganised and reliable with deadlines and feedback rounds; you ask questions early when a brief is unclearClear written and spoken communication in English; German is a plusInterest in science, life sciences or AI; no scientific background requiredWhat we offer youFlexible working hours that fit around your studies (around 15–20 hours per week), with hybrid working from Berlin or remoteWork that is used immediately in front of pharma customers, partners and investorsA modern office in Berlin, monthly happy-hours, and social allowanceOffice Days at our Berlin HQ or a different European location (3x a year).A monthly wellness budgetStrong learning and development opportunities in a fast-growing AI companyLogisticsScreening call with our team (30–45 min)Portfolio review and conversation with the Growth & Marketing team, including a short practical design taskFind more English Speaking Jobs in Germany on Arbeitnow
