Production Designer – South Africa

Salary dependant on experience

We’re on the lookout for a brilliant production designer.

You’ll work with B2B clients of all shapes and sizes, helping to bring them to life visually. You’ll work on big projects like defining brand identities, and smaller ones like making our proposals pop. And you’ll bring creativity and pizzazz to everything you do, as well as a hawk’s eye on the detail.

This job’s for you if…

Everyone says you’re creative. You’ll also be brilliant at coming up with ideas , and always aim for and expect the highest standards.

Graphics geekery is encouraged too, but you’ll be able to break it all back down into normcore for clients and our agency colleagues, to get them excited about your big ideas as well.

You’ll also love working with people. You’ll be that rare type who can take good-spirited feedback so that your designs, and the way you talk about them, will only keep getting better and better. You’ll always be ready and willing to help when your colleagues need it. And you’ll just be an all-round good egg.

Lastly, you’ll have a keen eye for detail, and a clipboard-y kind of approach that helps you smash design deadlines.

  • Boil down business problems into briefs
  • Develop fresh-looking graphics for multi-channel campaigns
  • Fulfil creative briefs (concepts, graphics, artworks and layouts) accurately and on time
  • Create consistent and high-quality design work for pretty much every kind of media
  • Present to colleagues and clients in a way that’s clear, simple and fun
  • Help us to market ourselves
  • Develop strong, lasting relationships with clients
