Role Overview

As the Creative Designer, your responsibility is to raise the standard of everything our customers see from us. You will turn briefs into content that stops the scroll, earns trust and brings people to the yard: paid ads, social content, listings, events, signage and above the line work. This is a hands-on role for a mature creative who can own ideas end to end. You bring the concept, design it well, deliver it on time, and know how to tell whether it worked. Your work feeds lead generation directly, so creative quality and commercial results matter equally here.

Key Responsibilities

Specifically, the Creative Designer at Peach can expect to lead/own the following elements:

Creative concepts and campaigns:

• Turn marketing briefs into strong creative concepts, then carry them through to finished work across digital, print, outdoor and events.
• Develop campaign key visuals and extend them consistently across every format and channel.
• Bring your own ideas to the table. Spot trends early and adapt them quickly for the Kenyan car buyer and seller.

Performance creative:

• Design paid social and digital ads for Meta, TikTok and Google, with separate creative for buyers and sellers.
• Build creative variations for testing, and use the results to sharpen the next round.
• Design for the thumb: strong hooks, clear offers and a visible call to action in the first seconds.

Content and video:

• Produce short form video, motion graphics and edits for TikTok, Instagram and YouTube, including product videos and walk arounds.
• Create graphics, carousels and templates that make our listings look premium and easy to shop.
• Support influencer and creator content with assets, edits and brand guidance.

Brand, offline and Above The Line:

• Apply the Peach Cars Brand Book with discipline, and help evolve it as the brand grows.
• Design artwork for signage, billboards, branch branding, event materials and merchandise, with print-ready files and in situ mock-ups.
• Support TV, radio and outdoor campaigns with key visuals, storyboards and supporting assets.

Process and delivery:

• Work through the team's creative brief process: confirm the brief, share work in progress, close the feedback loop, deliver final files.
• Manage several jobs at once against agreed deadlines, and flag risks to timelines early.
• Keep an organised asset library and reusable templates so the team moves faster.
• Brief and review work from external agencies, freelancers and printers where needed.

Must-Have Qualifications

What Success Looks Like

By the first 30 days, success means you’ve learnt the brand, the funnels and the brief process. Delivered live work across paid, social and listings. Built a working template kit.

By 90 days, success means you’ve led at least one campaign from concept to launch. Set a visible step up in creative quality. Turned briefs around reliably against agreed timelines.

By 6 months, success means you’ve become the go-to creative voice in the team. Contributed creative that measurably lifts ad and content performance. Helped raise the standard of agency and freelance work.

We will judge the work on three things: the quality of the idea and craft, the results it drives, and the speed and reliability of delivery.
