About this role

What you'll actually be doing:

- Support the design team on digital assets for the Mama Money app, website, and social channels

- Assist with marketing collateral — campaigns, banners, presentations, and promotional material

- Help maintain and apply our brand guidelines consistently across touchpoints

- Contribute fresh ideas and creative concepts in brainstorms and reviews

- Prepare and format design files for handover to developers or print

- Take feedback well and iterate quickly on design drafts

What you bring:

- A relevant qualification (or about to graduate) in Graphic Design, Visual Communication, Digital Design, or similar

- A portfolio showcasing university projects, personal work, or freelance pieces — we want to see how you think, not just polished output

- Working knowledge of design tools such as Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator) and/or Figma

- A strong eye for typography, colour, layout, and visual storytelling

- Curiosity, adaptability, and a willingness to learn on the job

- Good communication skills and the ability to take direction and feedback constructively

- Basic understanding of UI/UX principles

- Exposure to motion graphics or basic video editing

- An interest in fintech, financial inclusion, or the remittance space

Your first 90 days:

- In your first 90 days, you'll spend time getting familiar with the Mama Money brand, tools, and team workflows while shadowing the design team on live projects and picking up smaller tasks.

- From there, you'll start taking ownership of your own briefs — producing marketing collateral, collaborating directly with stakeholders, and building confidence in contributing ideas
