Do you see yourself as a solver of creative challenges? Are you a skilled designer across multiple channels, with team management experience? If you're inspired to help shape the Yuppiechef brand as it grows, we have a role that's perfect for you.

We're looking for a new Design Lead to guide and manage our in-house design team, within the Creative team in our Marketing department. The role needs someone who loves the brand enough to push it to new places; someone who creates commercially and emotionally impactful work, and who can sell the story behind their ideas.

The role is based in Westlake, Cape Town, has two direct reports, and reports into the Creative Lead.

What does the job entail?

• Owning and guiding the Yuppiechef brand's visual identity
• Leading the conceptual creative thinking for marketing campaigns — mostly in social media, display, digital video, print, store windows and in-store, though we're always looking for new channel opportunities
• Driving design that balances campaign objectives and creative concepts
• Executing on senior-level design for big campaigns while overseeing, reviewing and supporting the team's output
• Championing continuous improvement within the design function — upskilling the team, refining processes, and helping design play a stronger role in achieving business goals
• Empathetically managing and growing a design team capable of technically executing your concepts — allocating projects between you and them, and ensuring they're on track and unblocking them where needed
• Representing the design team's capacity and priorities in project planning to ensure balanced workloads and high output
• Collaborating closely with our Photography and Copy teams to ensure cohesive, integrated creative output
• Art directing and styling internal campaign shoots

What are the requirements?

• You'll need to have had 7-10 years' experience as a designer, including at least 1-2 years of management experience
• A world-class portfolio that demonstrates the level of skill and experience required for this role
• 2+ years' experience working in an ad agency would be a big help in working with creative briefs, and showing collaborative skills, working with writers, photographers, etc
• Work experience with omnichannel retailers would be a benefit
• You'll need to be a skilled user of Adobe creative suite, including Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign – and be confident enough to train and grow mid-level designers. Video editing skills would be beneficial.
• Ideally, you'll have a tertiary qualification in graphic design from an accredited art/design school

Who are we?

We're Yuppiechef, and see ourselves as helping people find moments of joy at home. We're here to offer outstanding and memorable service, while selling things that our customers love using. We're foodies and home lovers and aesthetes and early adopters, and we're passionate learners more than we're experts.
