Blue Moon’s senior designers understand their audiences on every level and develop brand-aligned designs and visuals to deliver on our clients’ strategic objectives across their available media channels, including additional channels that we may introduce for a campaign.

Fresh, True, and Brave are our values; and core to our great work is that our senior designers ensure they are aligned to the creative purposes and requirements of our campaigns within the context of the target audiences and a full understanding of client CIs. When working with the broader team on accounts or engaging directly with the creative lead – or with clients – they ask the questions that count, offering insights and examples, including ideas for visual solutions and content design. They are deeply immersed in and up-to-date with design trends and media and have the ability and passion for reimagining, innovation and reinvention.

We want you to be…

• A seasoned designer with at least eight years of experience, skilled in multiple platforms and media and with a flair for visual storytelling – having the skill to transform ideas into compelling visuals, and a proven track record of playing a senior design role in communication campaigns, delivering design direction and content implementation.
• It should be evident that your roles and contributions have been informed by best practices in your field, including knowledge of visual communication trends and application of the most relevant and effective media.
• Furthermore, it should be evident that your contributions to campaigns, projects, content and creative media are augmented by authenticity, inspiration and originality in response to the unique and specific strategic objectives and needs of every client.

What we offer you…

• A collaborative team where your ideas truly matter.
• Opportunities to experiment with cutting-edge tools and tech.
• A commitment to fostering creativity and innovation, empowering you to make an impact in every project you touch.
• You should reside, or be willing to reside, within commuting distance of Rosebank, Johannesburg.
• We work two days a week at our office and three days at home, so you need to be super motivated, self-directed, committed to keeping others informed, and able to deliver on all deadlines as scheduled and agreed.
• We strive to source the best people based on their skills, qualifications, and experience. We adopt the principle of equal opportunity in employment and work towards eliminating all forms of unlawful discrimination in our employment practices. In support of diversity and the equal opportunity principle, preference will be given to individuals from designated groups within South Africa.

We require you to…

• Lead design projects from concept to execution, ensuring the creative vision comes to life across campaigns, branding, and digital platforms.
• Collaborate closely with creative directors to align visuals with messaging.
• Push the boundaries by exploring new tools, platforms, and techniques, leveraging AI for design efficiency and innovation.
• Have experience using Microsoft tools creatively for design and communication. Familiarity with PowerPoint as a presentation tool is a big plus.
• Innovate by exploring ways to leverage existing tools within the Microsoft ecosystem to deliver impactful communication.
• If you have already incorporated AI into your workflow or explored innovative ways to use the Microsoft ecosystem for creative purposes, it’s to your advantage.
• Have intermediate to advanced skills in video editing and animation techniques to bring content to life in interesting ways, such as animating text or creating dynamic visuals.
• Have a solid portfolio that showcases your design versatility, including branding, digital, print, motion, etc.
• Have a growth mindset – eager to learn, adapt, and stay ahead of creative trends.
• Mentor junior team members, sharing your knowledge while learning alongside them.
• Have strong communication skills to motivate your ideas.
