#1 Web-Developer (m/w/d)

We are looking for you to further expand our Teamplaces in Düsseldorf and Montabaur and/or remotely.

Hi, we are valyu.
valyu is a brand, design, communication, innovation and consulting company. We see ourselves as an agency for holistic brand experiences. The design of relevant moments of interaction between people and brands is usually the result of our work.

You have the desire to develop something new …
… To develop user-centred designs and come up with surprising solutions in diverse teams, you need empathy and, above all, a lot of imagination for new things. In addition to what is technically feasible and what is economically viable, you are particularly interested in what people really want.

You are a team player …
… For you, making projects a success means working with your team to find solutions for a wide variety of tasks. We are looking for a team player with a passion for technology and the courage and willingness to change perspectives. You proactively exchange ideas with all trades in order to optimise processes and develop the best solution. You actively introduce new technologies and trends. You are happy to help us constantly improve our development and quality guidelines.

You are a passionate developer …
… Are you at home designing and developing web-based applications and websites? Do you love planning and creating technical concepts? Do you enjoy creating content for web projects of all kinds and are not afraid of maintaining them? Programming according to SEO criteria is also part of your area of responsibility.

Have you completed training in the field of digital media design/programming or are you a talented career changer? Because you have already gained 1-2 years of professional experience, you can manage projects independently.

In addition to Typo 3 and WordPress, you are proficient in PHP, HTML, JavaScript, Typescript, Node.js and CSS/SASS.

You are not afraid of new concepts, languages or ideas and are happy to contribute your own. You develop state-of-the-art solutions – in a wide variety of projects.
You like to take part in the design and UX process in an advisory capacity, take on responsibility and are good at exchanging ideas with specialised frontend and backend colleagues. You develop a great passion for the implementation of responsive web designs and the creation of high-performance portal pages and web applications.

What you can look forward to …
To an agency that wants to do an excellent job. To people who simply get things done instead of getting caught up in nerve-wracking discussions. To colleagues who have the drive to do things differently. To a way of working that is based on design thinking, design doing and design being.

To an owner-managed agency with a sound economic basis and very fast decision-making processes. An exciting, varied client portfolio – from international big players to
big players, B2B clients and innovative software companies – is waiting for you! We have a lot to offer from food, FMCG and DIY.

And the framework conditions …?
Talk to us about the many options for organising your work: from remote to flexible working hours, from sabbaticals to all types of part-time work. We also offer state-of-the-art workplaces, a pension scheme, a health programme and internal training (valyu Academy).

We are looking forward to meet you!

You enjoy helping to constantly improve our development and quality guidelines.

You are a passionate designer …
Do you have a penchant for digital, interactive design and don’t think statically? And are you also conceptually fit? Do you think in terms of holistic communicative solutions, from the idea to the visual realisation and primarily digitally? These are great basic requirements.

Maybe you have a degree in graphic or media design, ideally with a digital focus, or maybe not. In any case, you should ideally have a good knowledge of After Effects and Motion Design in addition to the standard Adobe CC programmes.

If you have already gained 2-3 years of professional experience in a digital communication or design agency, you can manage projects independently with your team. You think along and develop briefings with the account, enjoy working with digital trends or even have programming skills. It is important that you have a comprehensive understanding of common digital touchpoints.

But first and foremost, we are looking for a likeable team player who fits in well with valyu as a person.

#3 Social Media Manager (m/w/d)

We are looking for you to further expand our Teamplaces in Düsseldorf and Montabaur and/or remotely.

Hi, we are valyu.
valyu is a brand, design, communication, innovation and consulting company. We see ourselves as an agency for holistic brand experiences. The design of relevant moments of interaction between people and brands is usually the result of our work.

You want to build something …
… and take responsibility for setting up our social media presence. You will expand and manage the existing social media channels. You will be responsible for the creation and production of target group-specific content. To do this, you will work together with our creatives, digital experts and external suppliers. Evaluating the measures implemented is also part of your job. You are particularly interested in what our customers want.

You are empathetic, enthusiastic and determined …
… For you, making projects a success means looking for solutions and implementing them in a targeted manner. We are looking for an open personality with an independent and structured way of working. You proactively exchange ideas with our creative department in order to optimise processes and develop the best solution. You observe the market, actively introduce trends and want to develop new channels in a targeted manner.

You have experience in social media management …
Ideally a relevant apprenticeship or degree? But we are also happy to give driven newcomers a chance.

Are you a doer and want to build and expand something? Do you need plenty of room for your own ideas? Do you think in terms of holistic communicative and digital solutions, from the idea to the visual realisation and across multiple channels? These are great basic requirements.

You are able to manage projects independently with the team. You think for yourself and continue to develop the agency’s image, enjoy dealing with (digital) trends and are an all-round communicative personality. A comprehensive knowledge and understanding of the common social media channels is important to us.

But first and foremost, we are looking for a likeable team player who fits in well with valyu on a personal level.
