Basel, Switzerland | Full-time, senior leadership | Reports to CEO
About Revnuu
Revnuu is a commercialisation and marketing agency working with deep tech and life sciences founders across Europe. We help science and engineering‑led ventures translate complex innovation into clear, compelling brand, narrative, and commercial systems that raise capital, win customers, and scale.
Our partnerships include the European Innovation Council Business Acceleration Services, the University of Basel Innovation Office, the Swiss Startup Association, the Swiss Biotech Association, and Basel Area Business and Innovation. The portfolio we have served has collectively raised and generated over EUR 1 billion.
We are based in Basel, working with founders and operators across cryo‑electron microscopy, cell therapy, medtech, sustainability, semiconductor, and other deep tech and life sciences categories.
The Role
We are looking for a Creative Director to lead the creative output of Revnuu. This is a senior leadership role with full ownership of how Revnuu and its clients are visually and narratively expressed across every touchpoint.
The Creative Director will bring an industrial design foundation and direct experience working with science and engineering companies. The role requires the rare capacity to translate complex innovation into compelling, accessible narratives without flattening scientific credibility.
You will lead our in‑house creative team, set the standard for every deliverable, and act as the principal liaison with our external creative design partner studios and collaborators across Europe. You will work side by side with the Founder and the strategy team to ensure that every piece of work Revnuu produces meets the bar we set for our clients.
What You Will Do
* Lead the creative direction of all Revnuu client engagements, from brand strategy and identity through to website, pitch deck, video, and event design.
* Translate complex scientific and engineering propositions into clear, compelling visual and narrative systems that resonate with technical buyers, investors, and partners.
* Set and uphold the creative bar across every deliverable, from internal QA through to client presentation.
* Lead, mentor, and develop the in‑house creative team, including designers and creative coordinators.
* Act as the principal liaison with our external creative design partner studios and collaborators, ensuring quality, consistency, and commercial alignment across distributed work.
* Partner with the Founder and the strategy team on new business pitches, contributing creative direction to win‑stage work.
* Build and maintain the Revnuu creative system, including internal standards, processes, and templates that allow the team to scale without losing quality.
* Contribute to the evolution of Revnuu’s own brand and creative positioning.
Who You Are
* Senior creative leader with a minimum of 6 years of experience, including direct creative direction at agency or in‑house level.
* Foundational training and demonstrated capability in industrial design.
* Direct experience working with science, engineering, or deep tech companies, with a portfolio that shows clear translation of complex propositions into commercial narratives.
* Comfortable across the full creative stack: brand strategy, visual identity, narrative, web, motion, print, environmental, and product.
* Proven ability to manage both in‑house creative teams and external studio partnerships, balancing creative ambition with commercial pragmatism.
* Strong communicator across creative, scientific, and commercial audiences. Comfortable in the room with founders, scientists, and investors.
* Fluent English. German, French, or another European language is an advantage.
* Based in or willing to relocate to Basel. Comfortable with frequent travel across Europe for client engagements and partner work.
What We Offer
* A senior leadership role in a fast‑growing Basel‑based commercialisation agency with a clear position in the European deep tech and life sciences ecosystem.
* Direct exposure to some of Europe’s most ambitious science and engineering ventures, from early‑stage spin‑outs to EIC‑backed scale‑ups.
* Partnership status with the European Innovation Council, the University of Basel, and the leading Swiss innovation institutions.
* A collaborative, ambitious team committed to building a category‑defining agency in deep tech and life sciences commercialisation.
* Competitive compensation, calibrated to seniority and impact.
* Flexible working arrangements and a culture that values quality of thinking over hours logged.
