AddressAt Lippincott, we are in the business of creating new brands, products, services, and experiences to create meaning in customers’ lives. The Design team plays a pivotal role in bringing creative solutions to brand, innovation, and experience challenges. Whether it’s crafting a visual identity or discovering a new path to engage users in an online experience, we lend the best of design thinking to the rest of our practices, from Strategy to Innovation, New Business, and internal or marketing initiatives.
As a Senior Designer at Lippincott, you will work with teammates to help develop meaningful design solutions. You will design innovative, integrated solutions across a range of static, dynamic and interactive media (print, digital, 3D, motion and environmental). You will be both conceptually and idea driven, focused on forging meaningful connections with consumers and businesses across a broad range of media. Your team will look to you to combine fresh thinking with practical knowledge to make our work even stronger. This role provides the opportunity to gain client exposure and develop client management skills as you contribute to the work. This is a Sydney-based role, with the expectation to collaborate with teams across (and occasionally travel to) the APAC region (offices in Hong Kong, Shanghai, Seoul and Singapore).

Design Creatively and Strategically
Develop preliminary concepts into refined, comprehensive design solutions
Work closely with project teams, execute clearly defined project tasks and meet design goals
Assist in developing detailed design and branding guidelines
