About SMD Technologies
Are you ready to join the fastest growing developer of brands in South Africa? With hundreds of consumer brands from Volkano, Sony, Rocka, Eiger and more, SMD Technologies is home to huge audio and incredible staff.
We have a young and vibey office space, with heaps of staff spoils and the best coffee in SA, all designed to make you want to love working here.
About the Role:
If your happy place is somewhere between a colour swatch book and a perfectly folded box dieline, we’ve got the job for you. We’re looking for a passionate, imaginative Junior Graphic Designer who loves nothing more than bringing bold, beautiful packaging and in-store visuals to life.
From eye-catching posters to smart shelf-talkers and irresistible packaging, you’ll take concepts and run with them — creating artwork that looks just as good on the shelf as it does in your portfolio.
You’ll thrive in a fast-paced, high-output environment where every week brings something new — and always make sure the final product is as good as the idea that sparked it.
Responsibilities:
● Designing packaging, POS, flyers, posters, and catalogues that make people stop and stare (in the best way)
● Developing concepts from scratch and seeing them through to print-ready perfection Working closely with DTP and production teams to ensure flawless handover to print
● Collaborating with marketing, brand, and product teams to bring campaigns to life Managing multiple projects with confidence, clarity, and a well-organised artboard
● Applying brand guidelines creatively and consistently across formats and product lines
● Staying up to date with packaging, retail and design trends (because you’re that kind of person)
Requirements
● A relevant qualification (Graphic Design, Communication Design, or similar)
● A polished portfolio that showcases packaging and POS work (and makes us go “ooh!”)
● Excellent Adobe Creative Suite skills — especially Illustrator, InDesign, and Photoshop
● Solid understanding of print processes, packaging mechanics, and large-format specs
● Exceptional layout skills and an eye for visual hierarchy, balance, and storytelling
● Strong time management — you can handle fast turnarounds without dropping the ball
● Bonus: experience with FMCG, retail, or high-volume catalogue production, no worries if you’re still learning, just show us you know what you're doing with a simple skill test.
