About the Company
Our client is a UK-based digital agency delivering branding, websites and digital experiences for businesses across a variety of sectors.
They are looking for a talented Senior Brand & Digital Designer to join their remote creative team in South Africa. This is a varied, hands-on position offering significant creative ownership across both brand and digital projects.
About the Role
The role combines brand, graphic, web and UI design, taking projects from early creative concepts through to polished, production-ready designs.
Strong visual design ability is fundamental. This is not a UX-focused position; you should be equally comfortable creating a new brand identity, designing a high-quality website, developing campaign assets or producing interfaces for web and mobile applications.
You will work closely with developers and other creatives while having the autonomy to explore concepts, challenge briefs and recommend the strongest creative approach.
Responsibilities
Develop brand identities, visual systems and supporting brand guidelines.
Design modern, responsive websites and landing pages.
Create polished UI for web applications, mobile products and digital platforms.
Produce digital campaigns, social creative, presentations and marketing assets.
Translate brand identities consistently across web and digital touchpoints.
Create reusable components and scalable design systems in Figma.
Explore creative concepts and present clear visual directions for client projects.
Work closely with developers throughout design and implementation.
Review completed work to ensure the final product accurately reflects the intended design.
Manage creative work across multiple clients, projects and industries.
Key Experience
Ideally 5+ years of professional brand, graphic or digital design experience.
Strong portfolio demonstrating high-quality branding, visual and digital design.
Excellent understanding of typography, composition, colour, hierarchy and imagery.
Strong website design skills across desktop and mobile.
Experience designing UI for web or mobile applications.
Advanced proficiency with Figma.
Experience developing brand identities and visual systems.
Strong understanding of responsive design.
Experience creating reusable components and design systems.
Ability to take projects from initial concept through to polished final designs.
Strong attention to detail and confidence making independent creative decisions.
Excellent written and spoken English.
Desirable Experience
Previous experience within a branding, creative or digital agency.
Experience working directly with developers during implementation.
Experience evolving or refreshing established brands.
Experience creating presentations, campaign assets and social content.
Comfortable presenting creative ideas and explaining design decisions to stakeholders.
Experience working independently within a remote creative team.
Portfolio Requirements
A strong portfolio is essential and should demonstrate both brand/visual design and digital work.
We are particularly interested in seeing examples of:
Brand identities, typography, colour systems and brand applications.
Modern website design with strong layout and responsive thinking.
Web application, mobile application or digital product interfaces.
Finished creative work demonstrating a high level of visual craft.
The quality of the final design is particularly important, alongside your ability to demonstrate the thinking behind your creative decisions.
Why Join?
Work across a varied portfolio of branding, website and digital projects.
Significant creative ownership from initial concept through to final delivery.
Collaborate directly with developers and other creatives.
Opportunity to influence creative direction rather than simply execute briefs.
Work across different clients, industries and types of design challenge.
Fully remote position for candidates based in South Africa.
Work closely with a UK-based team during largely overlapping working hours.
