We’re looking for someone who:

• Is self-motivated, organised and has a sharp eye for detail
• Has great layout and typography skills

• Is personable, collaborative, and an excellent communicator
• Comfortable working remotely (with the potential for hybrid in the future)

Requirements:

• Must be based in Cape Town or surrounds
• Must have own transport and a reliable, high-speed internet connection
• Bonus points for skills in photography, video editing, WordPress, animation and illustration.

You'll be part of a small, talented, and friendly team that values creativity, collaboration, and excellence. We work hard, laugh often, and believe in doing meaningful work that builds brands with heart and purpose.
