Stellenbosch, Western Cape, South Africa Mustard Seed Relationship Marketing Full time

Mid-weight designer/DTP Operator

Here's the deal:

We're a fast-paced, idea-driven advertising agency based in Stellenbosch, and we're looking for a talented Mid-Weight Designer who also happens to be a DTP superhero.

You'll be the go-to person for rolling out campaigns crafted by our conceptual team, across print, digital, social, and everything in between. We want someone who knows their software inside out, has a sixth sense for visuals, and can spot a pixel out of place from a mile away.If you're the type who can take a beautifully designed poster and magically transform it into 24 equally gorgeous sizes and formats, keep reading.

You'll Be Doing Things Like:

  • Receiving final concepts and rolling them out across multiple formats — billboards, social media, mall signage, digital banners, you name it.
  • Ensuring brand consistency and pixel-perfect precision across all rollouts.
  • Prepping immaculate print-ready artwork.
  • Creating work for Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Google Display, and other digital platforms.
  • Keeping files organised like a wizard with folder OCD.
  • Occasionally contributing to concept development or improving what's handed to you.
  • Working closely with our creative director, copywriters, and designers.

You Bring:

  • 4+ years in a creative agency or design studio.
  • A design diploma/degree (or a portfolio so sharp it makes us forget to check).
  • Mastery of Adobe Creative Cloud — especially InDesign, Photoshop and Illustrator.
  • Digital and social media design skills (motion graphics = huge bonus).
  • Ninja-like time management and an eye that twitches at off-centre logos.
  • Team spirit, a proactive mindset, and the ability to stay cool under pressure.
  • Your own transport (Stellenbosch isn't exactly Uber Central).
  • A genuine love for making things look amazing.
  • A keen eye for spotting spelling, punctuation, and grammar will count in your favour.
  • A sense of humour and lekker personality

What You Get:

  • A team that values talent and initiative over ego.
  • Work that's fast-paced, varied, and never boring.
  • A chance to bring campaigns to life for shopping centres, retail brands, food spots and more.
  • Occasional late nights (but rare ones, promise).
  • Decent coffee. Amazing wine country.
