AI Summary
Junior Designer at Mama Money supports the design team across digital and print assets for the app, website, and marketing channels, while collaborating with product and brand teams in a fast-moving fintech environment.
About this role
Who we are:
Mama Money is a growth-stage fintech on a mission to improve the financial lives of migrants and underserved communities across Africa and beyond. What started in 2015 as a cross-border payments service has grown into a multi-product financial platform — giving people the tools to send, save, and manage money on their own terms, at a socially fair price. Payments were just the beginning; today Mama Money is building the fuller financial toolkit our customers need, all under one roof.
Mama HQ is in beautiful Cape Town. We're 159 people strong (and counting), representing 19 countries across Africa, Asia, the UK, and Europe. Everything we build is in service of people who deserve better — and our culture reflects that same commitment. We've had good times and tough times, but the focus never shifts: people over profit, always.
We're looking for a Junior Designer who's fresh out of university and hungry to build a career in design. This is an entry-level role — we're not expecting a packed portfolio of client work, just strong fundamentals, a good eye, and genuine enthusiasm for learning. You'll work closely with our product, marketing, and brand teams to bring ideas to life across digital and print.
This is a great opportunity for someone who wants hands-on mentorship, real ownership from day one, and the chance to grow inside a fast-moving fintech.
What you'll actually be doing:
What you bring:
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
