Do you have superior design skills that you enjoy using as often as possible? Are you passionate about your work – striving to get things perfect with a strong attention to detail? Do enjoy working closely with customers – and relish that feeling you get when you deliver them an exceptional result despite them giving you a confusing or contradictory brief? Are you interested in a role that lets you be both a digital and website designer – allowing you the freedom to undertake different styles of work each day?
We are currently looking for an experienced designer to join our team. Working within a fun and dynamic team, we want designers who are passionate about the projects they work on and work hard to give clients real world solutions to their business problems, not just graphics that look interesting or shiny shop fronts.
Skills and ExperienceWe're looking for someone who:
- Has experience with and loves working with clients and being involved in both the sales and delivery processes of a project
- Can produce great designs in-line with our brand style and persona
- Has a high (almost pathological) level of attention to detail
- Is highly motivated and will come to work every day wanting to get the best possible outcome for their assigned clients
- Has an energetic personality - engaging, enthusiastic and outgoing
- Great time management skills - who understands what a project budget is and can multitask across multiple projects in a given day
- Is comfortable discussing budgets and project timelines with clients
- A high degree of experience and competence with the Adobe Suite (particularly Illustrator, InDesign and Photoshop)
- WordPress experience a plus, otherwise on-the-job training will be provided
- Digital and social media marketing experience would be well regarded
We don't like to handhold our staff. The nature of this position will be one where you are able to really flex your muscles and control and manage your own projects, workflow and clients. The responsibilities of your role will include:
- End to end project management including participation in the sales and quoting process
- Ongoing client relationship management
- Quality control of your work
- Managing junior staff where necessary
- Provide thought-leadership on web and graphic design best practices and next-generation design & digital trends
We are a company that is made up of a number of vibrant, dynamic and "unique" individuals who mesh to form a team with a diverse range of skills. We prioritize our clients' business outcomes by offering a comprehensive array of services tailored to meet their specific needs. To achieve this, we encourage our team members to think both creatively and practically - always with our clients' business drivers in the forefront of their mind.
EngagementWe're offering this position as a full-time role. In addition to your normal salary, we're also offering:
- Flexible working arrangements
- Bonus commissions on certain types of sales work.
If this sounds like the opportunity you've been waiting for, please submit a cover letter introducing yourself and a resume for review.
In your cover letter, please let us know:
- How long you've been a designer and the professional designs that you’re the proudest of
- Your previous level of involvement in working with customers and in sales
