Role Overview
This role supports two closely related Australian brands operating across print signage
and display solutions. Your primary output is modern punchy social content that stays on
brand and can be produced in volume. The differentiator is production awareness: you
must understand how designs translate to large-format print and signage and deliver files that are ready for production with minimal back-and-forth.
The ideal candidate is a practical hybrid: creative enough to make social content engaging technical enough to avoid print/prepress errors organised enough to manage multiple tasks at once and proactive enough to suggest improvements and variations.
Core Responsibilities
A) Social media creative (primary)
Design assets for LinkedIn Instagram and Facebook: single-image posts carousels
stories (occasionally) and static ad creatives.
Create campaign variation sets: multiple headlines/CTAs different crops and sizes and
A/B options where required.
Build and maintain templates (Adobe and/or Canva) to keep output consistent and fast.
Prepare simple mockups for approvals (realistic but quick) using supplied product
photography or approved mockup files.
Maintain brand consistency: fonts spacing logo rules layout hierarchy and tone.
B) Print and signage artwork (production support)
Prepare artwork for large-format print/signage applications: pull-up banners banners
posters decals window graphics SEG/fabric media walls event signage and retail
signage.
Adapt designs to different sizes and templates while maintaining clean alignment and
readable typography.
Supply production notes when needed (finishes scale safe areas material
assumptions) based on the brief and internal standards.
Create print-ready PDFs and package files to reduce missing links incorrect scaling and
low-resolution issues.
C) Prepress and file hygiene (must)
Apply correct bleed/trim/safe area practices for print and signage.
Use appropriate resolution and image scaling; understand when to use vector vs raster.
Set up files correctly for output: spot colours where required overprint awareness and
clean layers.
Export PDFs to agreed standards (press-quality settings) and check for common issues
before submission.
Organise files and naming consistently (job name size versioning) to support fast
approvals.
D) CAD (advantage)
Support basic layout drawings site/space planning or production references when
required.
Collaborate with fabrication/installation teams by interpreting measurements and
aligning artwork to physical build constraints.
Ability to open review and adjust CAD files (AutoCAD or similar) is highly regarded.

E) AI-assisted design workflow
Use Adobe AI features and approved AI tools to speed up ideation vector cleanup
background removal and content variations.
Generate quick concept options from a brief (2-3 directions) while keeping the final
output brand-appropriate and production-safe.
Maintain quality control: AI output must be refined aligned to brand and checked for
print suitability.
