Senior Brand Designer

Who we are

Cauridor is a fast-growing cross-border payments company on a bold mission: to revolutionize Africa's financial landscape and empower the unbanked. We connect West Africa with North America and beyond, moving money across markets through a growing network of partners, products, and licensed entities — making sending and receiving money instant, seamless, and accessible through mobile wallets and bank accounts. Our teams span Guinea, Senegal, Nigeria, and other African markets alongside the USA, Canada, and Europe. Our network of strategic partners includes leading remittance companies like MoneyGram, Taptap Send, and Ria, top mobile wallet operators such as Orange and MTN, and major banks including UBA and Ecobank. Our vision is clear: to become the #1 fintech in every market we enter, driving a new era of cashless Africa.

Role purpose

The Senior Brand Designer owns the visual expression of Cauridor's brand across every touchpoint — campaigns, social, web, presentations, packaging, video, and animation. This is a player-coach role: someone trusted to make strong creative calls independently, uphold brand consistency without needing constant sign-off, and bring the judgment to adapt Cauridor's identity across diverse African markets without losing what makes the brand recognizable. The role also directly manages and develops the Graphic Designer, raising the creative bar across the team through both hands-on execution and formal people leadership.

Your Impact Zone

Brand & Visual Design

• Own and evolve Cauridor's visual identity across digital and print assets — marketing campaigns, social media, websites, presentations, packaging, video, and animation.
• Set and uphold brand consistency standards across all internal and external communications, acting as the practical guardian of the brand guidelines.
• Take full ownership of design projects from concept to final execution, with the authority to make creative decisions independently rather than needing sign-off on every step.

Market Adaptation

• Adapt and localize designs to resonate with diverse African markets, audiences, and cultural contexts.
• Balance local relevance with brand coherence, ensuring adaptation never drifts into inconsistency.

Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Work closely with Marketing, Product, and Commercial teams to translate business and marketing objectives into strong visual execution.
• Manage multiple projects and deadlines simultaneously in a fast-paced, multi-market environment.

Creative Direction & Mentorship

• Provide feedback and creative direction to junior or freelance designers on shared projects, raising the bar on execution even without formal management authority.
• Act as a point of creative judgment the wider marketing team can rely on for a second opinion.

Trend & Craft Development

• Stay ahead of design trends, particularly within Africa and emerging markets, and bring fresh direction back to the team rather than defaulting to what's already been done.

What success looks like in the first year

• Cauridor's visual identity is noticeably more consistent and distinctive across markets, campaigns, and formats.
• Design work is trusted enough that stakeholders bring in this person early, not just for final polish.
• At least one clear example of successfully adapting a campaign or asset for local market relevance without diluting the brand.
• Junior or freelance designers produce visibly stronger work as a result of this person's direction and feedback.
• Marketing and Commercial teams describe design turnaround and quality as a strength, not a bottleneck.

Your Toolkit for the Role

• 5+ years of experience in brand or graphic design, with a portfolio demonstrating strong, consistent brand work across formats (digital, print, video/animation).
• Proven ability to own projects end-to-end with minimal oversight.
• Experience designing for diverse or multi-market audiences; experience specifically in African or emerging markets is a strong advantage.
• Comfortable giving and receiving creative feedback, including guiding less experienced designers informally.
• Strong proficiency in relevant design tools (e.g., Adobe Creative Suite, Figma) and comfortable picking up video/animation tools as needed.
• Experience in fintech, payments, or another fast-moving startup environment is a plus.
• Fluent English; French is an advantage given Cauridor's Francophone markets.
