Mid-Senior Graphic Designer

Mid-Senior Graphic Designer

You’re a graphic designer. You’ve spent years mastering your craft, perfecting your kerning, and having deep, existential debates about whether Comic Sans could actually make an ironic comeback. You see bad typography in public make you physically flinch. You have a favourite shade of black. And now, you’re looking for the next challenge. Something exciting, something bold, something that doesn’t make you feel like you’re trapped in an endless loop of resizing logos for people who don’t understand “high res.”

Well, my friend, you’re in luck. We’re looking for a Mid-Senior Graphic Designer, and if you’re the kind of creative who brings big ideas, fresh energy, and just the right amount of “Ooooh, that’s clever!” to your work, then we might just be your people.

 

Who We Are

We’re a fast-paced, high-energy marketing and advertising agency specialising in shopping centre marketing. That means we take places people go to shop and turn them into experiences. We craft visually compelling campaigns that make people stop, look, and say, “Wait, what’s going on over there?” All of this from our 4K home base in Stellenbosch, where the Wi-Fi is decent and the wine is excellent.

Who You Are

• A design ninja with an eye for detail so sharp it could cut Japanese steel.
• A strategic thinker who knows that good design isn’t just about looking nice, it’s about getting people to feel something.
• A problem-solver who thrives on taking a vague brief and turning it into visual gold.
• Someone who can inspire fellow designers, with your dedication and willingness to share your wisdom.
• Adaptable, cool under pressure, and able to juggle multiple projects without losing your sanity (or at least without letting it show).
• Bonus points if you can edit videos or whip up motion graphics. Serious bonus points.

What You’ll Do

• Create bold, high-impact designs that set the standard for creative excellence in the agency.
• Collaborate with our team of designers, copywriters, and creative director to bring beautiful campaigns to life.
• Push creative boundaries, because nobody remembers “safe” designs.
• Inspire fellow designers, because sharing knowledge is how the creative world keeps spinning.
• Stay ahead of trends, design innovations, and new tools, so we don’t all end up looking like we’re stuck in 2012.
• Manage multiple projects, meet deadlines, and impress clients with work that makes them ask: “Where do we sign?”

What You Need to Apply

• 5+ years of experience in a creative agency or design studio.
• A design qualification (or, let’s be honest, a portfolio so good we forget to check your degree).
• Mastery of Adobe Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, and all the usual suspects).
• Experience in social media/digital advertising, because the internet is where everything happens now.
• A portfolio that makes us stop scrolling, stare, and ask: “Where do we sign??”
• Personal attributes: Self-motivated, proactive, adaptable, and capable of handling feedback like a pro.

How to Apply

Take a look at our work and who we are over at **www.mseed.co.za**. If you like what you see, let’s talk. Send your impressive CV and envied portfolio (max 5MB) along with your salary expectation and notice period to Rika Grundlingh. 


If you don’t hear from us within 14 days, don’t take it personally. We’re probably just drowning in emails. But hey, we’re always on the lookout for exceptional talent, so who knows? Maybe next time!

Now, go forth and apply so that we can get to the part where you ask: “WHERE DO I SIGN???”
