READ THIS FIRST

To be considered, you’ll need:

• At least 3 years’ experience in a full-time design role
• A PDF portfolio or website that shows off your best work

About the Role

We’re Quarterly – a UK-based subscription design studio providing brands and agencies with daily creative firepower. Think of us as a remote, in-house design department for a mix of lean startups and household names.

We’re on the lookout for a multi-skilled Graphic Designer and Animator to join our globally distributed team. You’ll be one of the go-to creatives for 4–5 clients at any given time designing, animating, proofing, and communicating as if you were part of their in-house team. If you’ve ever juggled multiple projects like a busy freelancer or in-house designer, you’ll fit right in.

You’ll contribute to a broad range of work-from branding and web to video editing and motion graphics. We’re not expecting you to do it all, but we love people who enjoy variety and aren’t afraid to learn new things.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Deliver thoughtful, engaging, and on-brand creative (static and motion) for global clients
• Be an active part of a collaborative design team (5–10 people), sharing feedback, ideas, and solutions
• Take full ownership of your creative output – from brief to delivery
• Switch between fast-paced ad creative, animated content, and brand identity projects with ease
• Keep clients updated on progress – clear and confident communication is a must
• Work across a range of formats: logos, social ads, decks, illustrations, websites, short videos, and motion graphics
• Contribute to a supportive, ego-free creative culture
• Stay curious, sharpen your craft, and grow with us

What We’re Looking For

• A strong portfolio showing a mix of branding, digital design, and motion/animation work
• Excellent English (written and verbal – communication matters here)
• Proficiency in Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, PowerPoint
• After Effects or Premiere Pro skills are essential for this role
• Experience in Figma is a bonus
• Sharp attention to detail and strong time management
• A proactive, client-first mindset – you care about the why, not just the what

Why Join Quarterly?

• Work remotely with a team of 18 creatives based across the UK and South Africa
• 100% remote – work from wherever you’re happiest
• A design studio with high standards, low ego, and real momentum
• Fast-paced, varied projects with brands that trust us
• Learn and grow through feedback, collaboration, and support
• Clear paths into mentorship, leadership, and strategic roles
• Be part of a studio rethinking how creative teams operate

The Details

• Permanent role (invoiced) – you’ll handle your own tax as per SA law
• R300,000–R450,000 per year, depending on experience
• 24 days’ annual leave, plus UK bank holidays
• Team workshops, creative challenges, and a culture of ongoing learning
• Friendly team culture, regular touchpoints, and support from day one

If you’re a creative all-rounder who enjoys switching between design and animation, thrives on variety, and wants to be part of a team that values quality over hierarchy – we’d love to hear from you.
