Working Student, Part-time · Remote, Mainz, Frankfurt am Main
ABOUT THE ROLE

Research Management • Remote Germany | Frankfurt | Mainz • Part-time or internship

Howdy future Horizoneer,

We are Horizon. Our behavioural research SaaS enables product, innovation, and consumer insights teams to validate product decisions by uncovering consumer purchase intent for any product decision or new product development. If you want to learn more about what we do, check out some of our use cases here.

Clients often do not have a fully fleshed out product concept or design when conducting Painted Door Tests (Pretotyping) with us. That’s where you are needed!

We are looking for a designer with a strong sense for converting interfaces to create all required assets for research projects of our clients. You will be designing customer journeys, brand assets, ad creatives and consumer facing landing pages for the Painted Door Tests of our enterprise clients that work with our research consulting team. You’ll also bring these assets to life by implementing the customer journeys technically. Our clients include large consumer companies such as BSH, Hansgrohe, Babbel, ALH Gruppe and more. This position is ideal if you're eager to gain hands-on experience while still pursuing your studies.

WHERE YOU'LL ROCK THE SHOW
Research Project Work (90%)
  • Brand design - create desirable brand assets from logo, to colour themes, to typography for the idea to be tested

  • Product mockups - design product images and mockups according to the given MVP-brand or client inputs for different testing variants

  • Ad creatives - create 2D and 3D ad assets  reflective of each testing variant. These ads communicate the value proposition of the product and are used to attract the target audience to the landing pages via social or search ads.

  • Landing pages - design and technically implement landing pages using the Horizon interface or external landing page editors (e.g. Unbounce) that integrate with our tool based on industry-specific templates, and optimise these templates over time. Define the storyline of each page including a first draft of the product description copy that your teammate aka research consultant can finalise.

  • Communication & design advocacy - as part of our client services & research consulting team, you occasionally take part in client meetings and provide design leadership around the product idea to be tested. Your work will steer all parts of the landing page test: ads, landing pages, brand design, digital customer journeys.
Internal (10%)
  • Standardisation & process improvements - contributing to process improvements by helping with standardisation and learning how to build research projects with enterprise clients.

  • Building resources - drive the development of Horizon’s own brand assets by providing your design genius for pitches, presentations and our website.
WHAT YOU NEED TO ROCK THE SHOW
  • A general interest in consumer-centric design, market research and data-driven product development approaches

  • Applied knowledge in design-related areas such as brand design, product mockups, or creating marketing ads.

  • Strong communication skills - you communicate in a clear and easy-to-understand way, respectful to your teammates even in high-speed and challenging client projects

  • Visual and typographical intuition - you know what captures digital audience attention and how to do it

  • Attention to detail, delivering high-quality and reliable output even in complex and fast-paced  projects

  • Familiarity with basic design tools (e.g., Figma, Adobe Suite) is preferred, as well as genuine interest and understanding for HTML5 and CSS3 are appreciated.

  • Fluency in German and English: Native-level German proficiency and near-native English fluency.

  • Results-Oriented Mindset: A hypothesis-based work approach focusing on achieving results with your client accounts.

  • Affinity for data and data-driven consumer insights (basic statistical knowledge is a plus)
HOW WE SUPPORT YOU:
  • Direct insights and mentorship from our Co-Founder & CEO Daniel (https://www.linkedin.com/in/danielputsche/) and your teammate aka research consultant (ex-Big 4).

  • Gain hands-on experience by collaborating with key stakeholders and learning from seasoned professionals in consumer research and design.

  • We provide all the tools and support you need to thrive in a remote-first, flexible work environment.

  • Work from everywhere in Germany, Frankfurt or Mainz. We are remote-first, and we’re currently working on creating co-working hubs where your teammates are.

  • Flexible working hours, while respecting client obligations, with the possibility to balance this role alongside other commitments. Work from anywhere in Germany, with regular team collaboration.

  • Regular company offsites in person.

  • High-impact work environment with short decision-making processes.

  • A company that encourages (and requires ????) fast learning.

  • Hypothesis- and data-based working philosophy - test, validate, decide.

About us
Missing consumer needs accounts for an estimated trillion dollar per year burn, being the #1 reason for consumer product failure. We want to change that with our B2B SaaS and enable product, innovation and consumer insights teams to consumer-validate product decisions with purchase intent insights.
 
Our clients are leading global organizations across various consumer segments. By conducting behavioural research with Horizon, clients decrease uncertainty for their product decisions by uncovering purchase intent for different product decisions and figuring out the best approaches for positioning, price range, and brand fit to nail their Go-to-Market.
 
We believe that different minds and cultures can achieve great things. This is why we are remote-first while we are working on building different hubs in locations where our existing team members already are, so you can still meet up with your mates for work while enjoying the flexibility of remote working.

Interested? We got you! Dive deeper into our vision, mission and core values that we worked out together here.
