Graphic Designer with Social Media Knowledge

About the role

We are looking for a Graphic Designer to bring more than one brand to life across social media, print, video and in-store. You will take ownership of our visual output, from a daily Instagram post to a printed menu or a short promotional video, and make sure everything we put out looks consistent, polished and interesting.

This is a hands-on role in a small, fast-moving team. You will work closely with the owners, marketing and store teams, and directly with our print suppliers.

What you'll do

Brand

1. Work across several companies and brands, each with its own identity and guidelines, and switch between them cleanly without letting one bleed into another
2. Apply each brand's guidelines across everything you produce, and keep the look consistent while finding fresh ways to express it
3. Maintain and organise brand assets, templates and file libraries per brand so the team can find and reuse them

Social media

1. Design daily and weekly content for Instagram, Facebook, TikTok and WhatsApp: posts, stories, reels and carousels, sized correctly for each platform
2. Work from a content calendar and turn briefs around quickly without dropping quality
3. Keep an eye on what performs and adjust the creative accordingly

Print

1. Design menus, signage, packaging, labels, flyers, posters and point-of-sale material
2. Prepare print-ready artwork correctly: bleed, trim, CMYK, resolution, fonts outlined, files packaged
3. Liaise with print companies on specs, proofs, quotes and deadlines, and check proofs before anything goes to press

Video and photography

1. Shoot and edit short-form video for social media, including basic motion graphics and captions
2. Art-direct or take simple product and food photography for use across channels

Teamwork

1. Collaborate with the marketing, store and kitchen teams to understand what each piece needs to achieve
2. Take feedback well, manage several jobs at once and keep stakeholders updated on progress

What we're looking for

Required

1. 3+ years as a graphic designer, in-house or agency, with a portfolio that shows both social and print work
2. Proficient in Adobe Creative Suite: Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign at minimum, with Premiere Pro or After Effects for video
3. Solid understanding of print production: setting up artwork correctly, colour management and working with printers
4. Experience designing for social media and an understanding of each platform's formats and what works on them
5. Experience creating and editing short videos for social
6. Able to work within brand guidelines and still produce visual content people want to look at
7. Experience working across multiple brands at once, ideally for different companies, and able to switch between distinct identities and guidelines without mixing them up
8. Good typography, layout and colour sense, with strong attention to detail
9. Works well in a team: communicates clearly, takes direction and feedback, and meets deadlines

A bonus

1. Experience in food, hospitality or retail brands
2. Canva skills, for templates the wider team can use
3. Basic photography and lighting skills
4. Figma or basic web and UI design for website updates
5. Motion graphics or animation beyond simple cuts
6. Copywriting ability for captions and headlines

Who you are

1. Curious about design trends and quick to try new formats, but disciplined enough to keep the brand consistent
2. Organised: you name files properly, keep versions straight and never send the wrong artwork to print
3. Self-directed, able to take a loose brief and come back with options
4. Comfortable with fast turnarounds and a changing list of priorities
5. Open to critique and happy to share credit

Details and how to apply

1. Location: Harare, Zimbabwe (in-office, full time; some on-site work at our stores for shoots)
2. Reports to: Marketing lead
3. Equipment: Laptop and working phone are required
4. Package: Competitive, based on experience

To apply, send your CV and a portfolio (PDF or link) showing social media content, at least 4 print pieces and at least one video you have made, to [email protected] . Shortlisted candidates will be asked to complete a short paid design task.
