Senior Brand & Graphic Designer

About the Role

We are seeking an experienced Senior Brand & Graphic Designer with strong individual design skills and the ability to independently deliver finished artwork across print and digital channels.

Working directly with the Marketing Lead, you will turn briefs, brand documentation and supplied product information into accurate, well-structured, production-ready assets. You will take ownership of design execution, apply sound creative judgement and complete your own quality checks before presenting work for approval.

A key project will be the development of Product Data Sheets using an existing template. You will bring together product information, technical specifications, images, production drawings and certification details to create clear, consistent specification sheets for technical audiences.

This is a hands-on senior design role, not a social media management, dedicated copywriting or website development position. The focus is reliable execution: understanding the brand, presenting technical information clearly and delivering polished artwork without requiring detailed, step-by-step design direction.

Working Hours

This is a part-time position with the potential to transition to full-time in 2027. Candidates must be available to work during Australian Eastern Standard Time (AEST) business hours. Exact weekly hours and working days are to be confirmed.

Key Responsibilities

Product Data Sheets and Technical Collateral

• Create and update Product Data Sheets using the supplied, pre-existing template, maintaining its approved structure and design standards.
• Review and understand supplied product information, technical specifications, images, production drawings and certification details, and bring these inputs together into complete specification sheets.
• Accurately present product names, dimensions, units, specification tables, drawing references and certification information wherever supplied and relevant.
• Position images and production drawings so that product features, dimensions, annotations and other essential details remain clear and legible.
• Use typography, spacing, alignment and visual hierarchy to make technical information easy to navigate without compromising accuracy.
• Check each sheet against the source material, identify missing or conflicting information and seek clarification from the appropriate stakeholder rather than making assumptions.
• Preserve approved technical and certification wording. Obtain approval before changing technical content; engineering validation and certification decisions remain with the appropriate technical stakeholders.
• Maintain consistent formatting and version control across the data sheet range, supplying approved final files and organised editable source files.

Brand Understanding and Design Standards

• Read, understand and consistently apply existing brand documentation across every asset, including typography, colour, imagery, logo use and layout conventions.
• Produce clean, balanced layouts with precise alignment, consistent spacing, clear visual hierarchy and strong attention to detail.
• Make considered design decisions within the established brand rather than relying on the Marketing Lead to identify routine layout or consistency issues.
• Recommend practical refinements to templates and brand systems where needed, securing approval before changing established standards.
• Develop reusable presentation layouts, document templates and design assets that improve consistency and reduce repeated work.
• Organise approved templates, brand assets and source files for straightforward internal use and handover.

Print, Sales and Event Artwork

• Design brochures, product catalogues, flyers, presentation decks, sales documents, banners, signage, exhibition materials and sponsorship assets.
• Take work from brief and concept through revisions, approval and finished artwork, including routine updates as well as new creative work.
• Prepare print-ready files to each printer’s or supplier’s specifications, checking dimensions, bleed, safe margins, colour settings, image resolution, fonts and required output formats.
• Complete preflight and final artwork checks before release, resolving production issues with printers or suppliers as required.

Digital and Website Design Support

• Create website graphics, banners, product visuals, email campaign assets and digital advertising materials.
• Support website redevelopment and ongoing updates by supplying correctly sized, formatted and optimised assets to the Marketing Lead and external web agency.
• Adapt approved designs across print and digital formats while retaining brand consistency and readability.
• Support search-related website briefs through well-organised visual assets, without taking ownership of SEO strategy or website development.

Independent Delivery, Quality Control and Communication

• Clarify the purpose, audience, deliverables, source material and deadlines at the start of each project.
• Plan and manage assigned work independently, balancing recurring collateral updates with campaign, event and website priorities.
• Check content accuracy, spelling, alignment, spacing, consistency, image quality and production requirements before submitting artwork for approval.
• Apply feedback accurately and consistently across related assets, avoiding repeated errors.
• Communicate progress, questions, dependencies and potential delays proactively, raising issues early with practical options for resolution.
• Collaborate professionally with the Marketing Lead, technical stakeholders, external agencies and print suppliers.

Essential Requirements

• At least five years of professional graphic or brand design experience, including senior-level responsibility for independently delivering completed projects.
• Advanced proficiency in Adobe InDesign, Illustrator and Photoshop, with strong hands-on capability in layout, image preparation and finished artwork production.
• A portfolio demonstrating the applicant’s own contribution to print and digital design, multi-page documents and template-based collateral, with evidence of polished final execution rather than concepts alone.
• Demonstrated ability to understand technical source material and turn product information, specifications, images, production drawings and certification details into accurate, readable collateral.
• Strong understanding of typography, grids, alignment, spacing, colour, visual hierarchy and information design.
• Proven ability to interpret brand documentation and maintain consistency across multiple assets and formats.
• Demonstrated experience preparing commercial print artwork to printers’ specifications, including preflight checks and production-ready file delivery.
• A disciplined approach to proofreading, source checking, version control and final quality assurance.
• Ability to work independently, manage competing deadlines and resolve routine design and production challenges without close supervision.
• Clear written and verbal communication skills, with confidence asking focused questions and collaborating with Australian stakeholders, agencies and suppliers.
• Ability to receive and apply feedback accurately while maintaining responsibility for the quality of the final result.
• A practical approach and willingness to complete both new creative projects and detailed, recurring collateral updates.

Highly Regarded

• Experience designing for manufacturing, engineering, construction, infrastructure or other technical B2B businesses.
• Portfolio examples of Product Data Sheets, specification sheets, technical catalogues or certification-led collateral.
• Experience working with supplied engineering or production drawings within customer-facing documents.
• Experience improving reusable templates or supporting brand refreshes while preserving an established identity.
• Experience creating website or CMS/page-builder assets and collaborating with web agencies.
• Experience producing exhibition, trade show, sponsorship or customer-event materials.
• Familiarity with AI-assisted design tools, with appropriate human review for technical accuracy, brand consistency and usage rights.

What Success Looks Like

• Product Data Sheets accurately bring together all required, supplied information within the existing template, with unresolved technical questions raised before final approval.
• Artwork consistently reflects the brand documentation, with clean layouts, precise alignment, legible detail and clear visual hierarchy.
• Final print files meet the relevant printer’s specifications and pass the designer’s own production checks before release.
• Work submitted for approval is complete and quality-checked, rather than dependent on the Marketing Lead to correct routine design or production errors.
• Feedback is applied across relevant assets, deadlines are managed reliably and progress is communicated without repeated follow-up.
• Editable files, approved versions and reusable assets are organised and easy to locate and update.

Details to Confirm Before Advertising

• Exact part-time weekly hours and working days within AEST business hours.
• Approved budget and intended commencement date.
• Any website or CMS editing duties beyond preparing and supplying design assets.
