Job description
Design Brands. Shape Packaging. Make Your Mark.
Some design jobs are about producing artwork.
This one is about creating work that millions of motorists across Africa see every day.
We're continuing our search for an exceptional Graphic Designer to join our Marketing team because we're looking for more than technical ability—we're looking for someone who can bring fresh thinking, creative energy and outstanding attention to detail to some of the automotive industry's most recognised brands.
This isn't a role where you'll spend your days resizing logos or producing repetitive artwork. You'll work across multiple market-leading automotive brands, taking projects from concept through to production, with the opportunity to influence packaging, digital campaigns, point-of-sale material and brand communications seen across Southern Africa. If you enjoy variety, ownership and seeing your work on shelves and in the market, you'll fit right in.
If you're passionate about design, love seeing your ideas come to life in print, packaging and digital media, and enjoy working in a fast-moving environment where every project has real impact, we'd love to hear from you.
Why join us?
You'll become part of an established South African manufacturing business with market-leading automotive brands, working alongside experienced marketing professionals who are passionate about quality, innovation and continuous improvement.
This is an opportunity to:
- Build an impressive portfolio across multiple well-known brands.
- Design packaging, point-of-sale material, digital campaigns and marketing collateral seen across Southern Africa and beyond.
- Work in a collaborative environment where your creativity is valued and your ideas are encouraged.
- Grow your career while working on diverse projects that challenge and develop your skills.
- Receive a highly competitive, market-related remuneration package aligned to your experience and expertise.
What you'll be doing
- Creating impactful designs for product packaging, marketing campaigns, digital media and printed communications.
- Transforming creative briefs into compelling visual concepts that strengthen our brands.
- Preparing accurate, production-ready artwork for print and packaging.
- Working closely with photographers, printers, suppliers and the marketing team to deliver high-quality creative solutions.
- Managing multiple projects and meeting deadlines within a busy promotional calendar.
- Maintaining brand consistency while continuously bringing fresh ideas and creative innovation.
- Keeping up to date with design trends, technology and developments within both the design and automotive industries.
What we're looking for
- Diploma or Degree in Graphic Design, Visual Communication or Marketing.
- At least 3 years' experience in a graphic design or marketing environment (manufacturing, FMCG, agency or automotive experience advantageous).
- Solid experience with REPRO and preparing artwork for production.
- Strong packaging and print design experience.
- Advanced Adobe Creative Suite skills (Illustrator, Photoshop and InDesign essential).
- Experience with lithographic, flexographic, gravure and digital printing processes will be advantageous.
- Excellent understanding of typography, colour, layout and brand application.
- Exceptional attention to detail and commitment to producing accurate, high-quality work.
- Strong organisational skills with the ability to manage multiple deadlines.
- A collaborative team player who communicates effectively and welcomes constructive feedback.
- An interest in the automotive industry and a genuine passion for outstanding design.
Think you're the creative powerhouse we're looking for?
If you're ready to take your design career to the next level and produce work that makes a visible impact across leading automotive brands, we'd love to see your portfolio (PDF or online link) showcasing packaging, print and branding work.
