Description du poste

Forge Studio is a multidisciplinary creative studio specialising in brands, websites, CGI, and film for property and place‑led projects.

We work with developers, architects, investors, and high‑value brands to shape how places are positioned, experienced, and brought to market.

Our work spans the full lifecycle of a project, from early identity and digital presence through to cinematic film, high‑fidelity visualisation, and digital marketing.

Our portfolio covers projects across Australia, the UK, Bali, and Singapore.

We focus on projects where quality, clarity, and execution matter.

• We are builders.
• We value output, ownership, and momentum.
• We are the real deal.

The Role

We are looking for a multidisciplinary creative, fundamentally a strong designer, with hands‑on experience creating brands, collateral, mock‑ups and someone who isn’t afraid to cross disciplines into video content, motion graphics, and experimental visual work for the sake of the outcome.

This is a hands‑on role. You will design, think, lead and execute alongside the team.

You will be trusted to move projects forward, make decisions and bring ideas to life without layers of approval or unnecessary process.

This is not a role for someone who wants to manage creativity from a distance. It is for someone who wants to make the work and push it forward.

A Day In The Life

• Log on from home or the office. Yes we’re fully remote, everyone has the right to do laundry.
• A short team catch‑up on Google Meets to align on:

• What’s in motion
• What shipped yesterday
• What can be improved

• Then it’s deep work
• Push high‑quality design
• If a client conversation helps move things forward, take the call
• If it doesn’t, keep working and ship the work

We don’t fill calendars to feel productive.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Working across multiple projects, designing and delivering high‑quality visual assets
• Leading brand, digital and campaign design from concept through to delivery
• Take designs in DaVinci Resolve or Adobe to deliver polished video outputs including motion graphics, overlays and short‑form edits
• Experimenting with and applying AI‑assisted workflows across design, motion and content
• Collaborating closely with CGI, production and web teams to create cohesive experiences.
• Maintaining high standards while moving with pace.

How We Work

• We value output, not hours
• Jump online, get it done, deliver with class, then go live life
• Responsibility is given early and trusted
• Quality is non‑negotiable
• Everyone contributes beyond a single lane

Our core stack includes Notion, Figma, Dropbox, ChatGPT, Adobe, and DaVinci Resolve/Premier, alongside emerging AI tools and workflows.

AI is used to optimise, cross disciplines and do cool shit.

Who is this for?

• An experienced freelancer who has realised client‑hopping forever isn’t the goal.
• A senior designer who wants ownership and leadership.
• Someone comfortable moving between design, motion and video.
• A creative who enjoys making beautiful things and shipping real work.
• Someone curious about AI and actively experimenting with workflows.
• A person who values autonomy, accountability and momentum.
• Someone who wants to help build something meaningful, not just fill a role.

This is not a job defined by titles or hierarchy.

It is for someone who leads through action.

The Cash Money

$80,000 + GST (six‑month probation and then review)
