Senior Graphic Designer

Overview

Senior Graphic Designer (Freelance Contract)
Location: Eastern Creek, NSW — fully on-site
Freelance / contract
Duration: Minimum 4–6 weeks initially, with potential to extend or convert to a permanent role for the right candidate
Start date: ASAP
Rate: Competitive Day Rate

About the Role
We’re looking for an experienced, intuitive Graphic Designer to join an established in-house creative team within the health and wellness / consumer goods space. This is a fast-paced, end-to-end design role supporting a large and growing product portfolio (50+ products, ~30 active NPDs in the pipeline), with immediate priority given to an upcoming industry conference.

The team designs almost everything in-house — from packaging and labelling through to digital, trade, and broadcast assets — so the successful candidate will need to be a true all-rounder, comfortable moving between formats and mediums with minimal oversight.

Key Responsibilities

• Produce end-to-end design across product packaging and labelling, digital marketing assets, trade and point-of-sale materials, and print/press collateral
• Support video-based assets including TVCs/TVRs and short-form video builds (not videography, but assembly/editing of video content)
• Contribute to script writing for video and campaign assets
• Ensure all creative work complies with relevant advertising codes and regulatory requirements (e.g. TGA-style compliance)
• Interpret creative briefs independently and translate them into on-brand, effective assets without extensive direction
• Manage multiple concurrent projects via Monday.com, participating in briefing/”micro meetings” with product and marketing leads
• Work at pace within a team that rarely has quiet periods, with additional volume expected in the lead-up to conference season

About the Team

You’ll join a graphic design team of 4 sitting within a broader marketing function that includes trade marketing, digital marketing and communications, and technical/consumer-facing writers. The team reports through to the Marketing Director. Tenure on the team ranges from several years to 12 months, reflecting a stable, experienced group.

What We’re Looking For

Skilled across Photoshop, Illustrator, Indesign, After Effects and PremierePro

Essential experience & attributes:

• Demonstrated experience across both digital and print design
• Comfortable working within a direct-response marketing style — briefs come with a defined creative direction and target audience, so this is not a “reinvent the wheel” or purely conceptual role
• Strong intuitive briefing skills: able to read a brief, understand the brand and audience, and produce compliant, on-target work with minimal back-and-forth
• Prior experience in a regulated product category (e.g. health, pharma, FMCG with compliance requirements) is highly regarded
• Professional maturity and the ability to work efficiently under sustained workload, without requiring hand-holding
• Open to candidates across a range of experience levels — capability and intuition matter more than years of experience or age

Practical Notes
This is a fully on-site, “shoulder-to-shoulder” working environment — not suited to remote-first candidates
