Junior Graphic Designer - Email Marketing

Yuppiechef is looking for an efficient and methodical junior email designer to be responsible for creating our impactful and sales-driving daily marketing newsletters. If you’re someone who’s obsessive about accuracy, hates a typo, and loves the reward of seeing your design work drive results every day, then we want to hear from you.
Our team started as two good friends and only 32 products in a lounge in Cape Town, and now there are nearly 200 of us who help make Yuppiechef South Africa's premier kitchen and homeware store. We're selling 8,000 curated products from 700 leading international and local brands, and we're growing faster than ever.
We see ourselves as helping people find more moments of joy in their homes, through products that make daily life more delicious, more comfortable, more innovative and more beautiful. Our omni-channel shopping experience provides world-class service to our customers both in our stores and online — wherever it suits them best. And we need you to help us reach even more of them.

Yuppiechef’s newsletters are an integral part of our marketing output - they’re an important revenue driver for the company, and are loved by the loyal customers who read them.

They’re built in conjunction with the marketing manager and Buying and Planning teams, to ensure we put forward campaigns with broad business support.

Designing five marketing newsletters a week, using our internally developed newsletter system
