About Penquin

At Penquin, we create ideas that connect, with brands, with people, and with results. As a proudly integrated marketing agency, we blend strategy, creativity, and heart to deliver work that resonates. Our team thrives on collaboration, innovation, and delivering solutions that make a difference.
We’re looking for a Graphic Designer with 2–3 years’ experience who is ready to step up, sharpen their craft, and contribute to exciting campaigns in a fast-paced, ideas-driven environment.

Role purpose

The graphic designer plays a hands-on role in developing and executing creative solutions across digital, social, and print channels. This role requires strong technical design skills, attention to detail, and the ability to work independently while collaborating with the broader creative and client service teams.

Key responsibilities

• Design and produce high-quality visual assets across digital, social, and print media.
• Interpret briefs and contribute creative solutions that align with campaign objectives and brand guidelines.
• Collaborate with copywriters, strategists, and account managers to deliver integrated creative work.
• Participate actively in brainstorms and pitch development, contributing fresh and innovative ideas.
• Prepare press-ready artwork and digital deliverables with accuracy and attention to detail.
• Maintain brand consistency across all touchpoints.
• Manage multiple projects, meeting deadlines while maintaining high creative standards.
• Stay up-to-date with design trends, new tools, and digital best practices.

Culture fit at Penquin

We’re more than just an agency, we’re a team that believes in integrity, collaboration, and creativity. The right candidate will:
  • Bring positivity, curiosity, and energy to the team.
  • Value constructive feedback and clear communication.
  • Strive for excellence in both craft and outcomes.
  • Embrace teamwork, while taking responsibility for their own growth and delivery.
Why join us?

• Exposure to diverse brands and industries.
• A supportive culture that values creativity, collaboration, and continuous learning.
• The opportunity to contribute to meaningful, high-impact campaigns.
• A hybrid working model that balances flexibility with team collaboration.

Requirements

  • Proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite (Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign; After Effects / XD an advantage).
  • Strong visual and conceptual design skills, with an excellent eye for typography, layout, and detail.
  • Ability to adapt creative work across different platforms and formats.
  • Comfortable working independently and collaboratively in a team setting.
  • Excellent organisational and time management skills to handle multiple deadlines.
  • Strong communication skills to present and explain design concepts.

Qualifications and experience
• Diploma or degree in graphic design (or related field).
• 2–3 years of professional design experience (agency experience).
• A portfolio that demonstrates both creativity and technical craft across digital, social, and print.
