Art jobs

Art Directors and Designers | Whatif_
We’re not looking for people who “make things look nice.”
We’re looking for people who have something to say.
At Whatif_, ideas come first. Always.
Design is how those ideas earn attention.
We’re a strategy-first, independent agency with a global mindset and African perspective. That means we think before we make, question before we execute, and build brands that live far beyond a single campaign.
Now we’re looking for Art Directors and Designers who think the same way.

What we’re really looking for

People who can:
Turn a sharp insight into a compelling idea

Craft that idea into work that people feel, not just see

Move seamlessly from concept to execution without losing the thinking

Obsess over detail, typography, layout, and visual storytelling

Collaborate, challenge, and elevate the team around them

This role isn’t about seniority. It’s about thinking.
Whether you’re emerging or experienced, if your ideas are strong, we want to see them.

What you’ll work on
Brand identities that actually mean something

Campaigns that live across platforms, not just formats

Digital and content that earns attention in a distracted world

You’ll fit if you
Think before you design

Care about craft as much as concept

Are restless with average work

Want to build brands, not just outputs

If your portfolio shows thinking, not just execution, we should talk.
