PART-TIME REMOTE | CAPE TOWN

Senior Graphic Designer

We’re a small but mighty design agency based in Cape Town, working with purpose-led brands around the world. We’re looking for a part-time Senior Graphic Designer to join our team on a flexible, remote basis (with the option for in-person meetups about once a week).

This role is ideal for someone with solid industry experience who’s looking for meaningful work without the pressure of a full-time grind. You’ll have the space to work independently, the freedom to manage your own time, and the opportunity to create impactful design for clients doing great things.

WHAT YOU’LL DO
  • Collaborate on design projects across branding, editorial, social media, and presentation design
  • Take creative briefs from concept to delivery — and confidently handle day-to-day tasks like design tweaks, copy changes and file exports
  • Work directly with the Creative Director to meet deadlines and maintain high design standards
  • Occasionally join short internal check-ins (online or in-person in Cape Town)
WHAT YOU’LL NEED
  • 5+ years experience in graphic design (agency or freelance)
  • Strong skills in Adobe InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop
  • A portfolio that shows excellent branding, editorial, and layout work
  • A thoughtful, independent work style — you’re someone who takes initiative, solves problems, and communicates clearly
  • Experience working remotely and managing your own time

Bonus points for:

  • Experience in website design (e.g. wireframes, UI layout)
  • Experience designing for email campaigns (e.g. Mailchimp, Flodesk)
WHO YOU ARE
  • You’re in a life phase where flexibility is key — maybe you’re balancing work with family life or other personal priorities
  • You value purpose-driven work, but you’re not looking to climb the career ladder right now
  • You’re happy to take on a mix of creative and less glamorous tasks — from pitch decks and reverts to design systems and brand rollouts
  • You enjoy working with a small, kind team that respects your time, trusts your expertise, and values clear communication
THE DETAILS
  • Part-time (freelance/contract)
  • 8 hours/week
  • R15,000/month
  • Remote-first, with optional in-person meetups in Cape Town
  • Flexible working hours — we care about outcomes, not when you’re online

PART-TIME REMOTE | CAPE TOWN

Creative Assistant

We’re a small, purpose-driven design agency based in Cape Town working with brands around the world. We’re looking for a Creative Assistant to support our Creative Director with day-to-day admin, coordination, and content tasks.

This is a part-time, remote role ideal for someone who’s highly organised, proactive, and excited to be involved behind the scenes of a growing creative business. You don’t need to be a designer — but you do need to be detail-oriented, a confident communicator, and keen to take initiative.

WHAT YOU’LL DO
  • Assist with scheduling and confirming meetings
  • Send and follow up on invoices and project comms
  • Track project progress and check in on briefs, feedback, and timelines (without being asked!)
  • Conduct research for clients, upcoming projects, or industry trends
  • Take ownership of our social media (planning content, writing captions, scheduling posts)
  • Keep things organised, moving, and clear for the Creative Director
WHAT YOU’LL NEED
  • A natural sense of initiative — you spot gaps, follow up, and get things done
  • Excellent written communication and strong attention to detail
  • Comfortable managing your own time, prioritising tasks, and asking smart questions
  • Available during business hours to respond within a reasonable timeframe (within 2 hours)
  • A curious mindset and a willingness to learn how the business runs

Bonus points for:

  • Familiarity with InDesign (e.g. updating quotes or templates)
  • Experience with Google Docs/Sheets and basic admin tools (e.g. Notion, Trello, Canva)
  • Interest in social media (e.g. Instagram, LinkedIn) and content planning
WHO THIS ROLE IS PERFECT FOR
  • A super-organised person who loves being a behind-the-scenes engine
  • Someone in a flexible life phase — a working parent, freelance creative, or career shifter
  • You love keeping things on track, being the go-to, and working closely with a small team
  • You care about meaningful, purpose-driven work — even if you’re not the one designing it
THE DETAILS
  • Part-time (freelance/contract)
  • 6 hours/week
  • R12,000/month
  • Remote, with flexible hours
  • Must be reachable during the workday (Mon–Fri) for light-touch comms and quick turnarounds
