Designer

Join an agile team at South Africa's fastest growing fintech, where you'll work with disruptive payment solutions, AI adoption, and cutting-edge technology within PayJustNow and Finchoice. Be part of a purpose-driven organization making a real difference—driving the next wave of financial inclusion and transforming how South Africans access payments, credit, and mobile services.

Role Overview

We're looking for a Mid Designer to join the Weaver FinTech creative team — a designer who's as comfortable pushing pixels as they are pushing boundaries. This role sits within our Brand and Creative function and reports directly to the Head of Brand and Creative. You'll work across both PayJustNow and FinChoice, helping shape how our brands connect with millions of South Africans through campaigns, communications, and content that drive real engagement and impact.

As we support our customer through her financial journey — from shopping and payments to lending, insurance, and now connectivity — you'll play a key role in helping her navigate a more connected life. With the upcoming launch of our MVNO, offering affordable airtime and data solutions, we're expanding the Weaver ecosystem to make everyday living simpler, smarter, and more integrated. You'll help bring these propositions to life across every channel, designing creative that connects emotional storytelling with practical value.

You'll collaborate closely with marketing planners, product teams, and CRM specialists to

translate strategy and insight into design that informs, inspires, and converts. While you

won't build UI directly, you'll play a vital role in ensuring our marketing and product

experiences feel unified, intuitive, and distinctly Weaver.

This is a hands-on role that blends creativity with curiosity — particularly in exploring AI

tools like Nano Banana, and VO3 to enhance efficiency, creativity, and innovation across

the design process.
