About the role

As we grow we look for ways to evolve and we want to shape our roles around people. So at the moment, this role is focused on the following, and we’re open to how you think we could evolve it as a Designer.

You’ll be creating and evolving brand design systems, designing websites and creating content for digital channels. You’ll consider the brand, their goals and audiences to create distinct designs that work across different formats; emails, blogs, social media, videos, scripts, brand documents, website, case studies.

You’ll be participating in workshops with clients to understand their ideas and needs, as well as presenting back your concepts and designs. While you focus on Design, you’ll collaborate with our core team who’ll help manage the client, create engaging copy, identify technical requirements, build and integrate (for websites).

If you’d like to lean into any of those areas we’d be more than happy to make that work for you. We design in Adobe, Figma, Canva and Google Suite depending on the client and project and bring design to life in Webflow, Shopify (sometimes Wix) and marketing platforms like Klaviyo, MailChimp, Meta Ads and social channels.

For this role we’re seeking a Designer (Mid - Senior) with 3 or more years experience developing brands, websites and brand assets.

We work remotely and once a week we meet-up at our co-working office Hub Southern Cross for a bit of human interaction :)

We also support team members who want to work overseas for a couple of weeks or months at time.

*We do the same amount of hours over a fortnight, but take every 2nd Friday off.

You can...

Be curious and creative

You’re a proactive self-learner with an understanding of how good design can bring out the best in a brand. You have a hunger for staying across the latest brand, design and content trends, and can translate your findings into your creative work to deliver on brand goals. You’re committed to continuous improvement, open to experimenting with new tools and skill building. You know how to ask client’s the right questions to tell a story and create engaging brand experiences.

Be strategic and act

You love memorable brands that give strong looks and big feels. We know how to meld industry best practice with the magic of our client’s brand to create and implement a kick-butt brand experience. You have a ‘test and learn’ mentality to brand design, getting a brand to a better place to get in-market feedback. You’re passionate about empowering clients with user-friendly visual ID’s, templates, decks and digital assets they can sink their teeth into.

Play smart and lean

You are organised and detail-oriented, and are comfortable in an online environment. You manage your time well and can keep a few plates spinning by prioritising the tasks you have on the go. You know how to use (or open to learning) tools like G Drive, Slack, Canva and Figma to maximise efficiency, and always stay solution-focused, finding creative - and sometimes scrappy - ways to solve problems.

Use business for good

You are passionate about the role business can play to be a force for good and want to be surrounded by people who feel the same and made it their life’s work!
