Role overview

This is a casual senior graphic designer opportunity working three days per week, paid at $55 per hour. The arrangement combines two days in the Brisbane office with one day working from home.

You should be highly skilled in Adobe Creative Suite, have a portfolio that shows strong brand-led work across print and digital, and be able to juggle several deadlines in a busy environment with close attention to detail. Good communication and collaboration skills are important, as is familiarity with print production and accessibility requirements. Basic video editing and motion graphics would be an advantage. Australian working rights are required.
