The posting

Bring Big Ideas to Life!

At Mukuru, our visuals don’t just decorate — they communicate, inspire, and connect with millions. We’re on the hunt for a Digital Designer with a flair for creativity, mastery in design, and a talent for breathing life into ideas through animation and video. If you love crafting visuals that make people stop, look, and feel something, this is your stage.

The Role

As our Digital Designer, you’ll turn concepts into compelling, on-brand assets across print, digital, and motion platforms. You’ll work closely with our Senior Design Manager to ensure every creation aligns with our brand’s visual identity while pushing creative boundaries. Your work will be seen across campaigns, branches, events, and even on the move — making your mark on one of Africa’s fastest-growing fintech brands. Please note that this role requires the incumbent to be based in Cape Town.

What You’ll Do

  • Create with Impact: Design and deliver high-quality graphics, animations, and videos for print, web, social media, and more.
  • Bring Brands to Life: Apply your skills in typography, layout, and brand styling to produce assets that are instantly recognisable and impactful.
  • Collaborate & Innovate: Work side-by-side with marketing, suppliers, and agencies to execute ideas that resonate.
  • Own the Process: Take projects from initial concept through to final delivery, incorporating feedback and meeting deadlines.
  • Stay Ahead: Keep up with trends, tools, and emerging technologies — including how AI can supercharge design work.

What You’ll Bring

  • Degree or certification in design, video editing, animation, or visual arts
  • 6+ years of professional design experience
  • A standout portfolio & showreel showcasing your range in static, animated, and video work
  • Expertise in Adobe Creative Suite and solid understanding of digital/print production best practices
  • Strong eye for typography, composition, and brand application
  • Detail-oriented mindset and ability to thrive in a fast-paced environment
  • Bonus points for HTML5 animations and 3D skills (e.g., Blender)

I am sure you are reading this job description and meet majority of the criteria BUT you may also still not be 100% comfortable in applying. We believe that there is a place for everyone under the Mukuru sun and we want YOU to contribute to our diverse tapestry of talent. So come on, take a leap of faith, and send your application if you meet majority of our requirements. Remember to include a snippet of how you will bring value and help us build a future of success that will help us determine where and how you may best be suited” Maybe you are just the future Mukurian we need!!

Should you be appointed in a remote/work from home role at Mukuru, it is your responsibility to ensure that you have uninterrupted internet connectivity and a ‘work-like’ environment at your home location, in order to deliver your best in terms of performance, productivity and service to our customers.

If you do not receive any response after two weeks, please consider your application unsuccessful.

NB: ALL STAFF APPOINTMENTS WILL BE MADE WITH DUE CONSIDERATION OF THE COMPANY’S DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION PLANS

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
