Role Overview

Our client is looking for a Senior Web Designer to help make our client the most delightful payments platform for businesses and their customers across Africa. Youre a strong designer who can build what you design; someone who thinks of the web itself as a design surface not just a delivery mechanism for someone elses file.

Youll own their public-facing web presence: designing and building microsites product pages and campaign landing pages that help sell our products and services. You care as much about keeping people on a page as you do about how it looks.

Youll report to the Design Studio Lead and work closely with frontend engineers who are deeply focused on performance and systems. You dont need to own that depth yourself. You should be able to design and build a page to production quality on your own and partner with an engineer to fine-tune performance edge cases and systems integration.
