Description

Welcome to Planet. We believe in using space to help life on Earth. Planet designs, builds, and operates the largest constellation of imaging satellites in history. This constellation delivers an unprecedented dataset of empirical information via a revolutionary cloud-based platform to authoritative figures in commercial, environmental, and humanitarian sectors. We are both a space company and data company all rolled into one. Customers and users across the globe use Planet's data to develop new technologies, drive revenue, power research, and solve our world’s toughest obstacles. As we control every component of hardware design, manufacturing, data processing, and software engineering, our office is a truly inspiring mix of experts from a variety of domains. We have a people-centric approach toward culture and community and we strive to iterate in a way that puts our team members first and prepares our company for growth. Join Planet and be a part of our mission to change the way people see the world. Planet is a global company with employees working remotely world wide and joining us from offices in San Francisco, Washington DC, Germany, Austria, Slovenia, and The Netherlands. About the Role: Planet is looking for a Senior Manager, Cross-Functional Creative Team, to lead our EMEA-based Creative Studio. In this pivotal role, you will act as both a master of craft and a strategic lead, bridging the gap between global corporate marketing strategies and local, regional field execution. Reporting to the Creative Director, you will own the end-to-end creative lifecycle for a global leader in AI-driven Earth observation, focusing heavily on driving pipeline generation and supporting our regional field marketing and sales teams. You aren’t just an individual contributor; you are a brand steward responsible for adapting Planet’s global identity for regional audiences and market nuances. You will manage the production of high-impact, multi-channel localized content—ranging from digital ads and email campaigns to regional trade show booths and environmental graphics—while ensuring strict brand consistency across every touchpoint. By balancing high-volume regional execution with long-term strategy, you will ensure our design systems evolve at the same pace as our technology. This is a full-time, hybrid role which will require you to work from our Berlin office 3 days per week. Impact You’ll Own: Lead the EMEA Creative Studio to translate high-level global marketing strategies into compelling visual narratives tailored for regional audiences and verticals. Collaborate closely with the EMEA Field Marketing Directors, Specialist teams, and Channel partners to support localized growth campaigns and co-marketing initiatives. Maintain and scale Planet’s visual language, ensuring all regional assets align with our global brand standards. Collaborate with Marketing, Product, and regional Sales teams to arm local reps with localized collateral, messaging, and account-based marketing (ABM) assets for key targets. Direct a network of external regional contractors and translation/localization agencies to extend the team’s bandwidth and specialized capabilities. Refine and optimize creative workflows to improve speed-to-market for dynamic regional field demands without sacrificing design quality. Lead the conceptualization of high-profile regional visual projects—from digital campaigns to international trade show booths, hosted dinners, and executive briefings. Own the evolution and adaptation of Planet’s Brand Guidelines for EMEA, translating global messaging for local market nuances and developing templates that empower regional field teams. Manage the end-to-end lifecycle of external design partners, providing creative direction and QA to ensure delivery aligns with strategic regional objectives and budget. Act as a creative consultant to Regional Product Marketing, Communications, and Field teams, bridging the gap between technical specs and compelling customer experiences that drive pipeline. Optimize creative throughput by leveraging AI-driven design tools (Gemini, Figma) and project management platforms (Jira/Monday.com) to support high-volume regional field marketing requests. Present design solutions to senior regional leadership and executives that solve specific business problems, impact pipeline metrics, and align with Planet’s overarching mission. What You Bring: 6+ years of relevant design experience, ideally embedded within or supporting a B2B field marketing or regional marketing organization. 4+ years of experience managing a creative team. Bachelor’s or Master’s Degree in a relevant field. Excellent project, time, and budget management skills, with the ability to handle multiple fast-moving field marketing requests simultaneously without sacrificing attention to detail. Excellent presentation skills and experience collaborating with regional stakeholders and executives to drive strategic outcomes. Ability to work both collaboratively and independently in a high-growth, commercial company. Experience working with enterprise software and AI-driven design platforms. What Makes You Stand Out: A BFA or degree from a traditional 4-year design program. Experience with web design workflows, digital ad execution, and localization best practices. A solid understanding of pipeline contribution (sourced and influenced metrics) and how creative assets drive local lead generation.
