Job description

At NOVA Entertainment, we have a culture of innovation, creativity and exceptional service. We move fast, think big and thrive in a dynamic environment where no two days are the same. Our values, which we call The Code, shape how we work and how we show up for each other, our clients and audiences.

How does this apply?

As the Graphic Designer in our Brand Marketing team, Relentless Curiosity shows up in the way you explore fresh ideas, contribute creative thinking and find new ways to connect audiences with some of Australia's most recognised media brands. Based in Sydney or Melbourne, you will create distinctive work across digital, social, print, video, presentations and owned platforms, while helping strengthen how our brands and shows come to life.

Unwavering Unity is reflected in the way you partner with Marketing, Audience Engagement, our shows and stakeholders across the wider business. You will be involved from the early stages of a project, helping translate objectives into considered creative solutions and taking ownership from initial concept through to final delivery.

In practice this looks like:

• Working with the Senior Brand Designer to develop and roll-out distinctive creative for brand campaigns, audience growth initiatives and broader Marketing activity
• Supporting Audience Engagement and our shows with high-quality creative across promotions, competitions, events, social and other audience-facing activity
• Contributing ideas and creative thinking during the early stages of projects
• Taking ownership of design projects from initial brief and concept development through to finished artwork and production
• Applying NOVA Entertainment's brand identities consistently across digital, social, print, video, presentations and owned platforms
• Building effective stakeholder relationships and communicating clearly and proactively throughout each project
• Developing and maintaining templates, asset libraries and design systems that improve consistency and support more efficient delivery

At NOVA, Radical Empathy means understanding the audience, brand and stakeholder need behind every brief, and responding with creative that is thoughtful, practical and fit for purpose.

This can be demonstrated by:

• Translating marketing objectives and stakeholder needs into considered, effective creative solutions
• Managing multiple projects and changing priorities with appropriate independence
• Articulating creative thinking clearly to marketing and non-design stakeholders
• Maintaining a high standard of design, finished artwork and attention to detail across every channel
• Staying informed about relevant design, media, cultural and audience trends, and applying those insights thoughtfully
• Bringing a proactive, can-do attitude and a genuine interest in radio, audio, music, media, social networking and creative storytelling

Skills that help you succeed in this role:

• Minimum 3-5 years experience in an in-house Graphic Designer, Brand Designer or comparable mid-weight design role, with a minimum Diploma-level qualification in Graphic Design, Visual Communication, Communication Design or a closely related discipline
• A strong portfolio showcasing concepts and polished finished creative across digital, social, print, presentation and motion
• Demonstrated ability to independently manage design projects from brief through to final delivery
• Advanced skills across Adobe Creative Cloud, particularly Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign and After Effects, supported by strong Microsoft PowerPoint capability
• Strong understanding of brand identity systems, artwork preparation and production requirements, plus confidence working with stakeholders; experience with established consumer brands, particularly within media or entertainment, is highly regarded

What's in it for you

• Free pre-pay day lunch days to bring the team together
• Additional leave days: Anniversary & Loyalty leave, Give back Leave, Mental Wellbeing days
• Excellent employee benefits from a variety of partners nationally
• Frequent celebrations and themed days that make work genuinely enjoyable
• A fun, energetic environment where wins are celebrated and milestones are recognised
• At NOVA Entertainment, we are committed to Equal Employment Opportunity, fostering a fair and inclusive recruitment process where every candidate is considered equitably and supported to succeed
