We are The Wachstum ([login to view URL], a German EdTech platform. We are looking for an experienced PDF/Editorial Designer for our first major content project: "Das E-Com Scaling Playbook: Von 1 Mio. zu 10 Mio. € Umsatz". The playbook brings together articles from 8 leading DACH (Germany, Austria, Switzerland) E-Commerce experts across 53 pages. Quality benchmark: Comparable to a paid report or McKinsey publication but free, used as a lead generation asset. Important language note: All content is written in German. You do not need to write or translate any text, all copy is provided and finalized. However, basic German reading ability is a strong advantage so you can correctly place headlines, body text, captions, and labels without errors. If you do not read German, please mention this in your application and explain how you will handle it. What we provide: All content as ready Word/PDF documents Cover concept as reference (mockup already exists, check attachment) Clear structure: chapters, author boxes, tables, info boxes, offer boxes – all defined What you deliver: A4 Digital version (RGB, interactive hyperlinks, clickable table of contents) All source files (InDesign strongly preferred) Cover + back cover + table of contents + all article pages Find real pictures (check author websites yourself) or use AI pictures to break up text with images Design Requirements: Premium editorial feel – No generic Canva-style layouts Please use my website as a reference. The e-book should feel like a natural extension of the website. Clear typographic hierarchy: heading, subheading, body text, info boxes, tables Desired vibe: book cover style, high-end, professional. Think McKinsey, not a blog PDF Sections: Tables, checklists, boxes (KEY INSIGHT, COMMON MISTAKES, offer boxes, etc.) and related paragraphs need to be kept together consistently and no longer span two pages. Instead, entire blocks need to move to a new page when necessary. Scope of Work: Approx. 53 pages total without pictures 8 expert articles with mixed content (text, boxes tables, screenshots, graphics) 1 cover page + 1 back cover 1 table of contents All templates must be reusable for future editions of the playbook Timeline: 2 cover concept variations: within 5 business days of briefing First article as sample spread: within 7 business days of cover approval Full completed playbook: within 3–4 weeks of sample approval Who we are looking for: Proven experience with multi-page reports, whitepapers, or e-books. Portfolio is mandatory Proficiency in InDesign Experience with dark-theme editorial layouts is a strong plus Reliable communication and ability to meet deadlines Basic German reading ability is a significant advantage (see language note above) How to apply: Tell us in 2–3 sentences: which project in your portfolio is closest to what we are looking for? Send us the direct link. Applications without a relevant portfolio example will not be considered.

Hi, this is exactly the kind of long-form editorial project I like working on—structured, premium, and built to feel like a serious lead-gen asset rather than a generic PDF. I can design the cover, TOC, and full 53-page playbook in InDesign with reusable templates, clickable navigation, and a clean high-end hierarchy throughout. I do not natively write German, but since the copy is finalized, I can work carefully from your structure and preserve headings, labels, and formatting accurately. If you share the current cover draft, I can review it and align the full design direction with that style.

Hello, my name is Rafael. I've designed multi-page reports, whitepapers and corporate publications with a strong editorial focus, creating reusable layouts that combine clear typography with a premium visual identity rather than template-based designs. For your playbook, I'd develop a professional InDesign template with a consistent hierarchy for headings, body text, author boxes, tables and information panels, maintaining the high-end editorial style you're aiming for. I'll also prepare the interactive PDF with clickable hyperlinks and table of contents, together with all editable source files for future editions.
