About Quidax

Quidax is where crypto meets limitless possibilities. We’re making digital asset access effortless for individuals, businesses, and fintechs in Africa. Our goal? Providing real value for our customers while driving the future of Finance.

About the Role

We’re on the hunt for a Visual Illustrator & Motion Graphics Designer who will be the visual storyteller for our brand within our product. You'll translate complex ideas into clear, engaging illustrations and dynamic motion graphics, ensuring every visual element, from onboarding animations to in-app icons, not only looks stunning but also enhances the user experience and reinforces our unique brand identity. If you're passionate about bringing a brand to life through compelling visuals and captivating movement, this role is for you.

What You’ll Be Owning

You'll own the visual manifestation of our brand within the product, from every crafted illustration and animated element to how our brand feels through UI interactions and motion graphics. Your mission? Ensure users feel Quidax from their very first click to their last.

  • Brand System, but Make It Scalable

    • Build and document a complete brand asset library for product teams in 30 days, including static and motion graphics.

    • Boost self-serve usage of assets and cut down rework by 25%.

    • Turn “Where’s the logo or animation file?” into a thing of the past.

  • Consistency = Trust

    • Run quarterly brand audits to squash off-brand moments across all visual and motion assets.

    • Drive user recognition of our visual and animated style via surveys and feedback.

    • Set up a clear sign-off process for every new brand asset and element — no surprises.

  • Brand Tools That Don’t Collect Dust

    • Train designers and engineers to use brand guidelines confidently (we’re aiming for 90%+ post-training).

    • Ensure 95% of new joiners complete brand onboarding in 2 weeks.

    • Maintain a living brand hub that answers 100% of “is this on-brand?” questions.

  • Workflow Whisperer

    • Be the bridge between Brand, Product, and Comms, streamlining how we go from idea to launch.

    • Your win = faster launches with fewer rewrites and animation revisions.

  • Brand Evangelist

    • Teach, guide, and hype the value of the brand in the product, including visual and motion graphics.

    • Make brand love go viral inside Quidax.

Biggest Challenges You’ll Tackle

  • Turning brand strategy into UI magic, no brand guidelines lost in translation.

  • Keeping our brand vibe tight across a growing, ever-changing product suite.

  • Speeding up brand reviews without watering down the magic.

Who We’re Looking For

  • Proof, not vibes: A portfolio that shows your brand work lives in real products.

  • Collab superpowers: You play nice with Product, Design, and Eng — and get things shipped.

  • Clear comms energy: You can break down brand thinking like you’re explaining it to a smart friend.

  • Tools & tech chops: You know your way around modern design tools and understand how your designs get built.

Reporting Line

You'll be working closely with the design, product, brand, content, marketing, and comms folks, reporting to the Product Design Lead. Your job: make our brand identity super awesome.
