Senior Designer, OkayAfrica

Design work that people actually stop scrolling for.

As Senior Designer, you'll be a driving creative force behind [REDACTED]'s visual identity — shaping how millions of people experience African music and culture across editorial, social, and campaign work. This is a seat at the table, not just a seat at the desk: your instincts and ideas will shape the brand, not just execute someone else's.

You'll conceptualize and create standout design work for the [REDACTED] brand — the kind that's sharp, culturally fluent, and unmistakably [REDACTED]. You'll bring high-quality creativity to every deadline, sweat the details that matter, and have a real voice in shaping creative direction and new ideas.
