Marketing Designer
houst · Cape Town
Job description
About the role
Houst is looking for a hands-on Marketing Designer to shape and execute its visual identity across paid digital media, physical out-of-home (OOH) campaigns and branded marketing collateral. The role suits a junior-to-mid-level graphic designer with strong core design instincts who enjoys seeing their work live in the real world and across digital feeds, and who learns fast by testing, iterating and experimenting. The workplace is hybrid.
Key responsibilities
- Paid digital ad creative: design high-volume, scroll-stopping variations (static banners, carousels, responsive display and animated social hooks) for performance campaigns on Meta, Google, LinkedIn, TikTok and partner networks.
- OOH and large-format print: design print-ready collateral such as billboards, transit ads, street furniture, event booths, flyposting and localised materials, from concept through to final print specs.
- Creative testing: work with the growth marketing team to A/B test visual hooks, typography, colour palettes and layouts to lower acquisition costs.
- Sales and franchise partner collateral: create pitch decks, partner one-pagers, property owner guides and digital brochures.
- Brand evolution and asset management: maintain and expand the visual design system in Figma, building component libraries, templates and style guidelines.
Required profile
- 1-3 years of hands-on design experience in an agency, fast-paced startup or consumer brand, with a strong portfolio.
- Understanding of typography, layout, colour theory and composition, and of digital pixel ratios and print requirements (bleeds, resolution, CMYK/spot colour, large-format legibility).
- Advanced working knowledge of Canva, Figma or the Adobe Creative Cloud suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign).
- An experimental, fast-learning mindset and attention to detail, from typos and alignment to asset formatting and export settings.
- Nice to have: basic motion graphics or video editing (After Effects, Premiere, CapCut), email template design (Klaviyo, Mailchimp), and an interest in proptech, short-term rentals, travel or hospitality.
