Prepaid24 is a fast-growing South African fintech brand operating in the digital payments and prepaid services space (B2C, B2B & B2G).

Our product lives online — and our brand lives across digital platforms, campaigns, print media, events, and physical environments.

We are looking for a recent design graduate (qualified within the last 12 months) to join our in-house marketing team as a Junior Creative Designer.

This is not a passive internship. You will be directly involved in the creative development and execution of marketing campaigns from concept through to rollout.

For the right candidate, this is a guided career launchpad with hands-on senior mentorship and real responsibility. You will report directly to the Senior Designer and Marketing Manager.

• Developing branded collateral for events, activations, and outdoor assets
• Designing sales collateral and toolkits
• Supporting brand rollout across multiple touchpoints
• Assisting across broader marketing initiatives when required

Must-Have Requirements:

• Completed a qualification in Graphic Design, Visual Communication, Art Direction, Multimedia Design, Experience Design, Motion Design, or similar within the last 12 months
• Strong portfolio demonstrating branding, layout design, and multi-format execution
• Strong understanding of the social media landscape and digital content design (essential)
• Proven ability to design effectively for digital platforms
• Proficiency in Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign
• Foundational understanding of UX/UI principles for digital environments

• Ability to manage and meet deadlines consistently — including when working remotely

• Able to work independently and collaboratively
• Willing to travel when required 
• Open to assisting in other areas of the marketing department when needed

The Right Candidate is:

• Interested in the digital space and how brands show up online
• Conceptually curious and creatively driven
• Confident in your branding and layout skills 
• Detail-oriented and execution-focused
• Comfortable working in a lean, agile environment
• Motivated to grow quickly and take on increasing responsibility
• Eager to learn, improve, and receive hands-on guidance
• Able to take initiative and expand your scope of responsibility over time
