Graphic Designer at Kontak Recruitment

• An established creative agency based in Gqeberha, working across local, national and international clients on brand, campaign and multi-platform briefs that actually challenge you. This is not a single-client in-house environment. The work is varied, the standards are high, and the team has the kind of longevity that tells you something real about the place. People who join tend to stay, some for well over a decade, and the brands they work with are serious ones.
• This is a Graphic Designer role for someone who genuinely loves the craft. You will work across print, digital and social campaigns, juggling multiple clients and deadlines, and contributing to work that gets in front of real audiences. Everything you produce is expected to be polished, purposeful and on brief.
• You will be on a Mac, using the full Adobe Creative Suite, from concept all the way through to final production and file packaging. The environment is hybrid by design: you will be in the office for campaigns, client work and collaborative sessions, with the flexibility to work from home when a project calls for focused solo time. It is a model that keeps the creative energy alive while respecting the nature of the work.

Minimum Requirement:

• 4 to 6 years experience in an advertising or design agency (non-negotiable)
• Expert-level Adobe Creative Suite: InDesign, Illustrator and Photoshop
• Proficient on Mac
• Strong understanding of layout, typography and visual hierarchy
• Solid experience across print, digital and social media formats
• Exceptional attention to detail and production knowledge
• Able to manage multiple projects and clients simultaneously
• A portfolio demonstrating real campaign thinking, not just executions

Advantageous:

• Basic motion graphics or video editing experience
• Social media campaign design experience
• Web or UI design exposure
• Meta or digital campaign knowledge

Responsibilities:

• Design across print, digital and social campaign formats
• Work from concept through to final production and file packaging
• Manage multiple projects and deadlines simultaneously across different clients
• Contribute to campaign strategy and brand execution
• Present work professionally and with a considered rationale
• Collaborate closely with account managers and fellow creatives
