Job description

This is a remote-only role for candidates based in Malaysia.

Rare opportunity to join an award-winning Australian digital marketing agency team, creating scroll-stopping ads, short-form video, and high-converting digital experiences for Australia's leading brands.

About us:

Living Online is a multi-award-winning Australian digital marketing agency powered by some of the brightest minds in the country. For more than 17 years we’ve pushed the boundaries of digital marketing to create some of the most intelligent, creative, and outstanding campaigns Australia has seen.

A few things we’ve done:

• Been trusted with one of the largest Facebook Ad campaigns in Australia for six years in a row, helping drive rapid growth for one of Australia’s best-known and fastest-growing brands.
• Designed and developed websites that power some of Australia’s well-known companies, and won many awards for that work.
• Delivered more than 30 million extra visits per year through SEO for a single client, a 470% increase in a little over three years.
• Helped grow multiple publishers and SaaS companies through to $100m+ acquisitions and public listings.

About the role:

Our team is growing fast and embracing new challenges, so we’re hiring a Senior Digital Designer to bring exceptional creative capability to our clients.

This is a hands-on creative role. Working alongside our Design, Consulting, and Web Development teams, you’ll be crafting advertising creative, short-form video, websites, and landing pages for a diverse group of Australian clients.

Reporting to the Director of Client Services, your key responsibilities will include:

• Performance advertising creative – design ad creative across static images, animation, and video for Meta, Google, LinkedIn, TikTok, and other platforms, using visual hierarchy, message clarity, and strong creative hooks to capture attention and drive measurable action.
• Original creative concepting – turn campaign objectives, audience insights, value propositions, messaging, brand guidelines, and whatever assets are available into original visual concepts. You will be the person generating the idea, not just producing it.
• Creative testing and iteration – develop multiple approaches and variations for testing, explore different hooks, concepts, layouts, messages, formats, and calls to action, then use performance data and A/B test results to guide what you make next. Performance creative is never finished.
• Short-form video and motion – create compelling video and motion content for paid and organic channels, from supplied footage or limited source material using stock, still imagery, typography, motion graphics, animation, captions, audio, and generative AI. You’ll understand how video structure, hooks, pacing, formats, and creative conventions need to change across different platforms and objectives. Beyond traditional video, you’ll identify opportunities to bring static creative to life through thoughtful motion, including logo, icon, UI, product, and web animation. You don’t need to be an expert 3D animator, but you should understand how movement can elevate digital creative.
• Website and landing page design – design full websites and high-converting landing pages, taking work from information architecture, site maps, user flows, and wireframes through to high-fidelity responsive design and interactive prototypes in Figma.
• UX and conversion thinking – design for the people using the experience, not for yourself. You’ll understand how user needs, research, evidence, and commercial objectives should shape design decisions, while applying UX, conversion rate optimisation, and accessibility principles to your work. You’ll work closely with our Senior UX Designer, who leads deeper UX research and analysis.
• Developer collaboration – you will not be building anything. Our Web Developers handle implementation, and you will give them clear documentation, annotations, and specifications at handover, then run design QA on the finished build to make sure it matches your design.
• Broader digital and graphic design – produce lead magnets, web imagery, email graphics, presentation collateral, and physical assets, plus brand and identity work when required, including logos, moodboards, colour palettes, typography systems, and style guides.
• AI and emerging technologies – bring real curiosity about AI to the work, using generative image and video tools to create, enhance, upscale, and extend assets, using good judgement about quality, brand fit, copyright, and licensing, and helping us build AI-assisted design services.
• Client engagement – join client meetings when needed, clarify what they actually want, present your work and explain the thinking behind your design decisions, and handle feedback professionally. You will not own or manage client accounts.

What we’re looking for:

We care about your ability to produce excellent work, not whether you have mastered every tool on this list. Agency experience is preferred.

You’ll bring:

• Around 5+ years of digital design experience.
• A portfolio of senior-level digital work we can look at.
• Strong performance advertising creative capability across static and animated formats.
• Strong short-form video and motion capability, including building compelling work from limited source material.
• Strong full website and landing page design capability.
• Advanced Figma, including components, design systems, prototyping, and developer handoff.
• Strong Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign.
• Strong video editing in Premiere Pro or an equivalent professional platform.
• Strong Canva, including reusable templates and brand kits.
• Hands-on use of generative AI image and video tools in a professional creative workflow.
• Solid UX, responsive design, accessibility, and conversion rate optimisation thinking.
• Excellent English and the confidence to present your work and explain the thinking behind it.
• Strong attention to detail, good organisation, and the judgement to work independently.

Note that advertising creative, video, and motion sit at the centre of this role. If your portfolio is mostly static work such as print, brand collateral, or social tiles, this may not be the strongest fit for you.

We’d especially love to see:

• Particularly strong short-form video and motion work, especially pieces you built from limited source material. This will be a real advantage.
• Strong motion graphics and animation in After Effects or an equivalent platform.
• Brand and identity design experience, including logos, moodboards, typography systems, and style guides.
• The ability to prepare artwork correctly for commercial print production.
• Working knowledge of HTML, CSS, and WordPress, enough to design within real build constraints.
• Knowledge of related digital marketing areas such as paid advertising, SEO, email marketing, or conversion rate optimisation.
• Advanced AI creative workflows, automations, or agents.
• Experience in a marketing or digital agency, and a love for fast-paced environments.

This is a full-time remote role with set business hours. It is not freelance work where you choose your own hours. You’ll join team stand-ups, reply to messages promptly, and keep your workload and progress visible in Asana. The remote team members who do best here are the ones who enjoy the independence of remote work and also like working within clear systems and processes, rather than seeing them as a burden.

This is an individual contributor role with no people-management responsibilities. You’ll work alongside our Senior UX Designer, Consultants, and Web Developers, and your impact will come through the quality of your work, your ideas, and what you contribute to client outcomes.

Most importantly, you’ll bring genuine curiosity and enthusiasm that goes beyond what is on your resume. You’ll be eager to learn and develop in the areas where you are not yet strong.

What’s on offer:

When we invite you to join the team, we’ll be offering you:

• A competitive salary and upwards career mobility.
• An unparalleled commitment to your fast-tracked learning and growth.
• A high-calibre peer group and an industry-leading agency team.
• A remote working environment that includes travel perks.
• Weekly team events, monthly team socials, and a great culture.
