It is an opportunity to influence the work and the capabilities we build, creating a partnership designed for today’s challenges and what comes next.\nROLE PURPOSE\nThe Mid Level Digital Designer creates engaging, carefully crafted design for digital campaigns, content and customer touchpoints. The role translates creative ideas and audience understanding into effective visual executions across social, web, mobile and other digital formats.\nWorking with the Creative Director and multidisciplinary studio, the designer owns assigned assets and contributes to campaign concepts. The role balances design quality, platform requirements and delivery discipline, building the judgement to work independently while seeking guidance on complex creative decisions.\nResponsibilities\nCREATIVE DEVELOPMENT AND VISUAL DESIGN\nUnderstand the brief, audience, brand and intended response; contribute design routes, visual references and mock-ups to concept development. \nDefine or apply the visual treatment of assigned work, using strong typography, composition, imagery and information hierarchy. \nAdapt campaign ideas across formats while preserving a coherent identity and making the most of each platform’s creative possibilities. \nDIGITAL AND PLATFORM CRAFT\nDesign social content, digital advertising, web layouts, presentation assets and other agreed deliverables to the required specifications. \nApply responsive, interaction and accessible visual-design principles, collaborating with UX and development specialists where required. \nCreate reusable components and well-organised working files; consider motion and interaction when these improve the idea or user experience. \nPRODUCTION AND DELIVERY QUALITY\nPrepare accurate exports and handover files, checking dimensions, formats, legibility, brand consistency and other technical requirements. \nManage assigned design tasks across concurrent briefs, maintain version control and communicate dependencies or blockers early. \nIncorporate review feedback carefully and check implemented or published work where relevant to confirm that the design intent is retained. \nINTEGRATION AND CREATIVE COLLABORATION\nWork with Art Direction, Copy, Strategy, Media, UX, Technology and Client Leadership to create connected campaign executions. \nPresent design choices with clear rationale in team and client reviews, with senior support as appropriate. \nContribute to brainstorms and pitches, track relevant platform and cultural developments and share references that improve the studio’s work. \nAI CAPABILITY AND FUTURE WAYS OF WORKING\nUse approved AI tools for visual exploration, image development and asset adaptation; refine generated outputs and check brand consistency, accessibility and technical suitability before handover. \nDemonstrate effective prompting, iteration and critical evaluation. Use only approved tools and data; protect client information and intellectual property, check rights and provenance where relevant, and retain human accountability for final work. \nIdentify appropriate AI use cases, share practical learning and measure improvements in quality, speed or effectiveness. Recognise tool limitations and escalate uncertain, inaccurate or inappropriate outputs. \nMEASURES OF SUCCESS\nHigh-quality digital design that meets the brief and works in its intended format. \nConsistent brand expression and clear visual hierarchy across deliverables. \nAccurate handovers, reliable deadlines and fewer avoidable production revisions. \nUseful creative contributions and effective collaboration across disciplines. \nPractical AI use that improves design exploration or production efficiency while maintaining craft and brand consistency. \nCRITICAL CAPABILITIES\nVisual design craft, conceptual thinking and platform awareness. \nResponsive layout, interaction principles and accessibility awareness. \nProduction accuracy, file organisation and attention to detail. \nClear design rationale, time management and constructive collaboration. \nAI-assisted visual design, effective prompting and evaluation of generated assets\nQualifications\nQUALIFICATIONS AND EXPERIENCE\nAt least three to four years of relevant digital design experience. \nA portfolio with at least four strong examples demonstrating digital craft, conceptual thinking and work across formats. \nProficiency in Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign, Figma and presentation software. \nAfter Effects, HTML5 or rich-media production, and 3D or animation experience are advantageous. \nHands-on experience using AI in digital design, with examples demonstrating prompting, refinement and production-quality outcomes. \nAdditional Information\nPublicis Groupe Africa is an equal opportunity employer and prohibits any forms of Discrimination or Harassment.
