Final Artworker - Digital and Print, Cape Town (all genders)

Your role

At FRASER, we combine strategy, creativity and technology to build impactful work for ambitious brands.

We're looking for a mid to senior Final Artworker who can take a master concept and carry it across thousands of assets without losing its craft or quality.
The role spans two disciplines. On the digital side, you'll manage high volume output across every channel, format, funnel stage and language, using automation to work at scale. On the traditional side, you'll produce expert retouching, reproduction and print ready artwork. You're highly structured, an expert in file formats and production workflows, and at ease moving between a social rollout of hundreds of assets and a press ready file in the same day.

This isn't a resize and export role. Some adaptations are simple. Others need real creative judgement, so you'll need to understand the idea behind the work and make it hold in every placement.

What you'll do

Digital at scale

• Interpret master artwork and campaign concepts, and adapt them across detailed media plans (around 80% paid digital and social) covering hundreds of specifications across channels, motifs, funnel stages and languages
• Produce thousands of assets per campaign from supplied photography, graphics and video, from simple resizes to complex recompositions
• Build and run automated production workflows using templates, components, variants, actions, scripts and data merges
• Use generative tools to extend, recompose and adapt imagery for new formats, within brand and usage guidelines

Print and reproduction

• Retouch and manipulate images to a high standard
• Prepare print ready artwork with correct colour management, bleed, resolution and output settings
• Work with printers and repro houses to make sure files reproduce accurately across processes and substrates

Quality and process

• Run rigorous quality control so every asset is accurate, on brand and to spec before delivery
• Keep file management, naming conventions and versioning tight across large asset libraries
• Submit all artwork to the creative directors for final approval
• Escalate any challenge, risk or spec issue immediately. Escalation is mandatory.
• Keep campaign owners and stakeholders across the agency informed
• Propose better ways of working where you see them

Your profile

• Mid to senior experience as a Final Artworker, covering both digital output at scale and print production
• Expert command of Figma, Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign
• Proven experience automating artwork production, through Figma variants, Photoshop actions and scripting, InDesign data merge, or platforms such as Celtra, Bannerflow or Adobe GenStudio
• Working experience with generative tools such as Adobe Firefly and Photoshop Generative Fill
• Expert retouching and image manipulation
• Deep knowledge of file formats, colour spaces and production workflows for both digital and print
• Solid knowledge of ad specifications across Meta, TikTok, Google, YouTube and programmatic display
• A highly structured approach, close attention to detail and strong ownership of quality
• The ability to understand a concept and adapt it thoughtfully, not mechanically
• Comfort working at pace in a fast moving environment
• Agency experience (beneficial)
• Experience with multilingual campaigns (an advantage)

What we offer

• Work on big briefs and projects for international brands
• Chance to help shape the agency and influence growth
• Working with fantastic colleagues in a collaborative environment
• Competitive salary
• Flat hierarchy, fostering a transparent and participatory work culture
• International environment with diverse employees, clients, and locations
• Experienced team: work alongside seasoned professionals
• Opportunity for workation from European countries or South Africa
