Senior Designer (4–6 years experience)

Tired of design roles where execution ends at files and approvals not at the wall, the surface, or the space itself?

If youre nodding already, read on.

At Za Works, you dont just pass designs forward you own what they become.

Design leads every project here. Art is the execution.

We are looking for a Senior Designer who wants responsibility and challenge.

Why this role is different

Your designs dont stop at files they are translated into physical artworks.

Execution involves materials, scale, surfaces, and on-site realities

Every project is different; no fixed styles, no repetitive briefs

You work closely with a small, collaborative team where your voice matters

Your contribution is visible, recognised, and credited

You grow fast creatively, technically, and professionally

What your role looks like

Lead design direction from day one

Translate briefs into strong, thoughtful design narratives

Take feedback, refine ideas, and finalise designs

Guide artists during execution to ensure design intent is protected

Spot whats missing in colour, form, detail, or finish and fix it

Juggle multiple projects at different stages with clarity and ownership

Coordinate with internal teams and select vendors

Gradually take on client communication

You may not execute every artwork yourself

but the final output carries your design thinking and your responsibility.

This role is for you if

You have strong design fundamentals and concept-thinking skills

You have experience in digital design and visual / spatial thinking

You care deeply about quality, detail, and finishing

You are collaborative, communicative, and accountable

You are comfortable working beyond screens and understanding materiality

What success looks like in 36 months

Independently handling multiple projects

Understanding materials, processes, and execution workflows

Confidently guiding artists and managing feedback

Adding momentum and ownership to the design team

This role is not for you if

You only want to execute instructions

You avoid responsibility or accountability

You prefer repetitive or purely digital work
