We’re looking for the eye that will shape how the world sees Ghana.

Akwaaba is a curated Ghana travel brand. The diaspora is coming home, and how that journey looks matters as much as where they land.

Graphic Design & Video EditorRemote · GMT preferred · Full-time

What you’ll make

Brand films, social cuts, founder stories, host reels, and the look of every campaign that runs.

The brief

Four short sections. Read them in order, or skip to the one you care about most.

01

The role

You own the visual language of Akwaaba across every surface.

You will design the moving and still image of Akwaaba. The hero films on the landing page, the 15-second cut that runs on TikTok at midnight, the deck a corporate retreat sees before they sign, the packaging of every package we sell. The look of all of it lives in your hands.

You will work directly with the founder and the host community in Accra. You will not be handed creative briefs from a brand team. You arethe brand team. The frame you cut, the colour you grade, the type you set: that’s what travelers see before they fly.

02

Who you are

Taste before tools. We’ll trade three years of Adobe for one year of having something to say.

  • You can cut a short film by yourself, from card to caption.
  • You design in motion before you open a static canvas.
  • You have a point of view on Ghana, whether you grew up there, visited, or have been watching from a distance and waiting to say something.
  • You can shoot on whatever you have. Phone, mirrorless, borrowed kit. The eye is the asset.
  • You read the room. You can sit with a host, hear a story, and know which thirty seconds to pull.

How we work

Location
Remote. Strong preference for Accra, Kumasi, London, NYC, or anywhere in GMT to EST.
Hours
Async. Two short syncs a week with the founder. One review block on Fridays.
Equipment
We cover camera, lenses, drives, software, and a yearly trip back to Ghana to shoot.
Travel
Two to four shoots a year on the ground in Ghana with hosts. We cover all of it.
Ownership
Equity in Akwaaba on a four-year vest. Your work compounds with the company.
Reporting to
Kingsley, founder. You will have a direct line, not a chain.
04

Compensation

Cash is benchmarked to the senior end of the local market wherever you sit, paid monthly. Equity is real and meaningful. We’d rather pay you fairly and slowly than nothing and never.

Numbers are an open conversation once we’ve seen your reel and you’ve met the founder. We won’t waste your time with a range and then negotiate down.

We are not building another Airbnb for Africa. We’re building the way the diaspora comes home with their eyes open. The person who edits this footage is the person who decides what coming home looks like.

What we won’t ask

Hiring is broken in most places. We’re going to skip the theatre.
