Recognised as a Top Employers Certified* organisation, we’re proud to be among the best workplaces in the region—celebrating an inclusive culture of excellence, growth, and well-being.

We believe great design is essential to how our brand shows up, communicates, and connects with audiences.

As a Design Specialist, you will help bring our brand to life through high-quality visual execution, strong design craft, and thoughtful creative contribution.

You will create polished, impactful design work across a wide range of marketing and brand initiatives.

The role requires someone who can take ownership of projects, work independently with a high level of quality, and contribute strong visual thinking to the Creative Studio.

Your core strengths are graphic design, visual storytelling, and turning ideas into production-ready creative.

Motion and video skills are a bonus, not a requirement.

Above all, we’re looking for a designer who cares deeply about craft, thinks visually, and contributes positively to a collaborative, creative culture.

As a Guru you are accountable for:

Art Direction & High-Impact Design (Core) Deliver elevated graphic design and art direction across campaigns, brand work, digital assets, print, and social content. Transform briefs into clear, compelling visual concepts and polished final deliverables. Own end-to-end execution of design projects with minimal oversight. Maintain the highest standards of craft, typography, and visual consistency. Partner closely with the Country Creative Lead to co-develop ideas, mood boards, and visual directions for major initiatives. Contribute strong conceptual thinking and help shape the visual narrative for campaigns. Bring forward creative references, inspiration, and new approaches that push the brand forward.

AI-Assisted Creative Development

Use AI tools to explore visual directions, support ideation, develop moodboards, and speed up workflows. Experiment with new AI capabilities and contribute insights to the studio. Use AI to complement-not replace-design craft and conceptual thinking.

Collaboration & Cross-Functional Partnership

Work closely with Marketing, Product, Sales, and other stakeholders to understand business goals and translate them into effective visual design. Communicate clearly around creative rationale, options, and refinements.

Studio Culture & Creative Contribution

Be a positive, collaborative, inspiring presence in the Creative Studio-sharing feedback, inspiration, and creative energy. Support junior team members with casual guidance when needed (no formal management expectations). Help uphold a culture of experimentation, craftsmanship, and continuous learning.

Quality Control & Production

Ensure all design output is polished, accurate, and production-ready. Troubleshoot design challenges and proactively propose creative solutions.

Trend Awareness & Inspiration

Stay current on global design trends, typography, culture, and AI developments. Introduce new ideas and references that keep the brand modern, relevant, and visually strong.

Requirement What we are looking for:

Experience & Craft

Experience in graphic design or brand design in an agency or fast-paced in-house environment. A portfolio demonstrating strong conceptual thinking, brand systems, and high-quality design execution. Proven ability to take a concept from idea to final, production-ready output.

Technical Expertise (Core)

Advanced proficiency in Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, and InDesign. Deep understanding of layout, typography, composition, and visual storytelling. Comfort using AI design tools (e.g., Midjourney, Firefly, automation workflows).

Motion/Video (Nice to Have)

Experience with basic or intermediate motion graphics (After Effects) or video editing (Premiere Pro). Willingness to learn or experiment with motion when needed.

Collaboration & Workstyle

Strong communication skills and ability to articulate design rationale. Ability to work independently, manage multiple projects, and deliver under tight timelines. Collaborative, open, and proactive in contributing to team culture.

Bonus Skills

Experience with Figma or familiarity with UI/UX fundamentals. Illustration, photography, or other complementary craft skills.

Our commitment to you:

• Hybrid flexible working that focuses on outcomes over hours.
• Holistic rewards package covering your financial, physical & mental health.
• Multi-directional career development across all levels.
• Inclusive benefits like equal paternity leave, supporting all employees in work-life balance.
