WE ARE LOOKING FOR THE NEW BREED OF DESIGN LEADER

We are looking for an Associate Design Director on a 12-month fixed contract that loves creativity, and the opportunities new technologies and thinking provides. Change is something you thrive on and moving fast keeps it interesting for you.

You're someone who gets excited by new challenges and the opportunities to work across a wide breath of work, from brand identities, campaigns and digital experiences to products & services at scale.

You have what it takes to mentor and manage talented designers. You are always striving to get the best out of your people by helping them progress in their own careers as they progress the creative standards at CHEP.

You have a portfolio of work that demonstrates excellence in both design thinking and design execution.

You think about both the big picture and drill down to the finer details. You know the difference between good and great design.

You'll be working on some of Australia's most loved brands at the AFR's number one ranked 'Most Innovative Media & Marketing Company' in 2020.

HOW WILL WE KNOW YOU ARE THE ONE

To be considered for this role, you must have a tertiary qualification in graphic design and a minimum of 10+ years of experience in a design role within a brand, design or advertising agency. You have a folio that showcases your skills with examples of your design work that pushes boundaries.

Responsibilities

  • You'll be responsible for maintaining world-class creative design skills and standards across the department. You'll be able to work across a large range of clients and workloads, multi-tasking with a high level of creativity in your work.
  • You'll also work collaboratively with others in the business - Creative Directors, art director, copywriters, strategists, data, UX, tech - to bring new thinking and design solutions to the table.
  • You'll lead projects, workshops and design critiques. You'll also take a leading role in client presentations.

Capabilities

  • 10+ years design experience across a mix of design disciplines.
  • The ability to manage, mentor and inspire a team of designers within a high-performance, creative culture.
  • A strong portfolio of work that demonstrates excellence in both design thinking and design practice.
  • A passion for design, with experience across a range of disciples from brand identity to campaign to digital design.
  • A positive, friendly can-do attitude, you are calm under pressure.
  • An eagerness to be a team player. You'll be mentoring designers to ensure they develop as design practitioners and are engaged in their roles.
  • Expert knowledge of Adobe's Creative Suite and Figma.
  • Motion skills would be a definite bonus, so too would illustration.
  • A curiosity for learning skills beyond design (user experience/strategy/leadership/business).
  • An ability to work closely with account service and operations managers to ensure deadlines are met and communicated effectively.
  • Solid communication skills. You're able to clearly articulate the department's design rationales and decisions. You'll take a leading role in client and team presentations.
  • An ability to think intuitively and work well within a diverse team.
  • A resilient attitude, always ready to pitch in and roll with the punches.

Other things that would make you excel in this role

  • You're passionate about creating a high performing, world class design team.
  • You're resourceful, proactive and autonomous. You hustle to get things done.
  • You're curious (about design, tech and humans).
  • You're ambitious to grow.
  • You aspire to do innovative work, that no one has done before.
  • You challenge the status quo in everything you do.
  • You stay current with design trends, tools and innovation.
  • You value open collaboration and know how to foster a culture of trust.
  • You grasp opportunities - you ask for forgiveness, not permission.

Who is CHEP NETWORK?

THINGS HAVE CHANGED

…is often an over-used industry cliché. But the changes impacting our lives and our clients' businesses are more real and radical than ever before.

How we shop, how we bank, how we work, how we exercise, and how we make choices is rapidly evolving. The values that drive people are fundamentally changing.

When what matters to people changes, society transforms, and a new economy takes shape - one of consumers who expect brands to be making a positive impact on the world.

These changes are the catalyst for us to reimagine our business around the new economy customer's needs, and develop a new agency model that will ensure creativity is at the heart of our clients' continued growth, no matter the channel.

So, if you're the kind of person who wants to the new era of creativity in this new economy, please read on.

WE ARE CHEP, AND THIS IS THE NEW CREATIVE ECONOMY

Today, brands need to adapt to new channels, technologies, experiences, social goals, environmental needs and operating speeds.

New Economy Creativity harnesses two powerful drivers of change: creativity and technology. It is diverse and data driven; and relentless in finding the most compelling way to hold attention and impact how people think, feel and act. It's about helping companies reorientate to make long-lasting positive impacts. Its focus is on building future brands that are positive forces, while converting existing demand.

The diversity of the challenges at CHEP make it a fulfilling place to work, and a crash course in every skill you need - creative, strategy, experience, data, media, social, PR, technology, e-commerce, experiential, and research is all under one roof. We let creativity live in every department, and it's all pulled together by our first-class Leadership team.

We're looking for the best and brightest talent who can continue to connect a brand's experience in more creative and innovative ways than anyone else.
