Job description

Up to $190,000 + Super + Profit Share | Sydney (Hybrid)

Spend your week in front of clients, shaping ideas and winning work. A large, dedicated design team turns your direction into finished work, and AI is part of how the agency delivers, so ideas get tested and built faster.

Why This Job

• Authority with scale behind it: you hold creative sign-off across a large team, so your standard shows up in everything that ships.
• Brands people know: you redesign digital experiences for household names, from ecommerce to B2B, with client relationships that run for years.
• A direct line to the top: a flat structure reporting to the Country Manager, with real influence on how the agency shows up in Australia and New Zealand.
• Profit share: you share in the growth you help create.
