About the role

Digital Channels and Creative is a team of talented creators across various disciplines. You contribute to a team which includes brand advisors and designers. The role will advise and communicate brand infrastructure and positioning in the organisation but has a primary focus on design and creative output. The main task will be the timely and effective design of print and digital collateral using contemporary software according to creative briefs.

The role has a creative influence on brand positioning of the Portfolio’s Agencies along with the creation of trusted visual identities which help drive communication saliency and differentiation. You will be confident in your interpersonal skills and enjoy working with people in a team.

Your day-to-day tasks will be aligned closely with creative briefs which ensure collateral is effective, understood and ultimately helps the community trust the DCS Portfolio.
A technical proficiency in creative design and related software and colour theory is mandatory.  

An interest in emerging technology including brand and design contributions to social media, video formats, and the web is also important to this role. 

To be successful in the role:

You will be passionate about the business objectives of our Agency partners from a creative perspective. Day to day, you will:

• Be a confident communicator able to influence, negotiate and make a case for effective design outcomes which align to brand objectives.
• Demonstrate a creative flair that ensures collateral is on-brand and consistent, while recognising the strategic need for brand variability.
• Have a strong understanding of the NSW Masterbrand Framework and or a commitment to becoming expert in the model as part of your onboarding.
• Have a strong sense of prioritisation, working with your people leader to triage design work based competing demands.
• Work with other digital creatives such as social media and video producers to incorporate on brand design to high profile and high value assets.
