Snr Graphic Designer at Salt South Africa

• We’re looking for a high-level Conceptual Designer who lives for ideas, trends, beauty, cosmetics, and experiential retail. If you can turn a blank canvas into a scroll-stopping centre-court, pop-up, or retail moment – this role is for you.
• This is concept-first, trend-driven, pitch-winning design. Not a standard studio job.

What You’ll Do

• Create fresh, on-trend concepts for centre courts, expos, pop-ups, launches and retail spaces.
• Build moodboards, storyboards, consumer journeys and quick 3D sketches.
• Turn global beauty and lifestyle trends into premium physical experiences.
• Support pitches with smart, innovative ideas that help win clients.
• Collaborate with designers and ensure final execution matches your concept vision.

Who You Are

• 5+ years in conceptual, experiential or retail environment design.
• Strong at mapping consumer journeys.
• Trend-obsessed (beauty, cosmetics, lifestyle, retail).
• Able to sketch, storyboard or 3D-block ideas quickly.
• Energetic, innovative and detail-focused.

Tools

• Adobe Suite
• SketchUp, Blender, Cinema4D or similar
• Hand sketching a plus

What Success Looks Like

• 90 Days: 5 pitch-ready concepts, elevated creative direction, stronger pitch storytelling.
• 6 Months: Winning pitches, trend-setting influence, leading big concept work.
• 12 Months: Consistent revenue-driving concepts and a strong concept-to-production flow.
