SUMMARY OF ROLE

We’re looking for a Designer to join our social-savvy team of creative extraordinaires. This role is perfect for you if…

You are immersed in all things design and you sweat the pixel-perfect details (and we love you for it). You’re as comfortable animating as you are talking about why Papyrus is a travesty. You love the challenge of coming up with and executing the best creative solution for any given problem, and you have no hang-ups about collaborating with senior staff to produce engaging content according to a variety of briefs, or providing feedback to a junior team member who needs an extra set of eyes.

You’ll be expected to explore and start mastering a strong point of view in design and be able to explain your choices to other people on your team (and to the client). Your daily tasks will include social asset creation from start to finish, presentation layout, concept mockups, and photo editing.

You get the technical stuff (design best practices, new techniques, and new platforms) and you get the non-technical stuff (people and what drives them, no matter who they may be). Sound like you? Let’s meet up!

You will have an expert understanding of the language and cultural nuances of SNS in Japan.

This role will be an initial 3 month fixed term contract. The position is also open to a freelancer arrangement.

Offer input into creative brainstorms and share ideas during team meetings
Work with ACD and Art Directors to receive feedback, using it to improve work while working autonomously to execute vision
Provide feedback to junior team members to help improve work and deliverables
Support the team throughout the execution of campaigns and projects
Learn skills to support specialized tasks and evolving landscape of digital media

An understanding of social media and its impact on brands - with a focus on the Japanese market.
Excellent written and verbal communication skills in both English and Japanese.
This is a hybrid role, with 3 days per week in office required. You must reside in one of our APAC office locations: Tokyo, Sydney, Melbourne or Kuala Lumpur.

Time management and multitasking abilities

Skilled with Google Slides
Strong written and verbal communication skills
Ability to meet deadlines in a high-pressure environment
