Designed by creative professionals, for creative professionals

Envato is an all-in-one creative asset toolkit built to help creative professionals thrive. We bring together world-class creative assets and AI tools to help creatives find what they need, explore ideas, refine their work and keep their creative momentum going. And that makes designing Envato a little different. Our customers are designers, filmmakers, editors and creators. And so are we. We use the same kinds of tools, wrestle with the same creative problems and care about the same details as the people we're building for. That means we're designing for people with great taste, strong opinions and a very high bar for the tools they use. So we're looking for a Product Designer with that same bar. We care more about the work you can show and the judgement behind it, rather than how many years you've been a Product Designer or what your title is on your resume. We want someone with a visual point of view about what good looks like and the product thinking to know when, where and why to apply it.

The role : You'll help shape what Envato actually feels like to use

• You'll work on Envato's core app, helping creative professionals find, generate and refine assets for their projects.
• You'll get to take ideas from messy early thinking through to beautifully resolved experiences in the hands of our customers.
• You'll help shape creative workflows that get people to professional results. That could mean helping someone adapt stock video or graphics with AI, keep characters and visual styles consistent across generated shots, or sequence video clips to see how a story comes together.
• You'll make those capabilities easy to discover and use, connecting them around what someone is trying to create. The goal is to help people see what's possible, guide the result towards what they had in mind, and get to something they can actually use without unnecessary complexity.
• You'll prototype ideas quickly. UsingFigma, code, motion and AI assisted tools to turn ideas into something people can actually experience.
• You'll work closely with Product and Engineering to influence what we build, not just what it looks like after the decisions have already been made.
• You'll help evolve Envato's visual language inside the product, working with our Product Visual Lead and other designers to create experiences that feel distinctly Envato. We want your ideas and visual judgement in that conversation, not just your ability to apply what's already there.
• You'll work alongside engineers through implementation, writing code and resolving visual and interaction details so the experience holds up in the product.

What we're actually looking for : Taste. Craft. Curiosity. Product sense

• You make beautiful things, but you're not designing art for art's sake. You understand that this is a commercial product used by real people trying to get real work done.
• You understand UX fundamentals. You know when something needs to be beautiful, when it needs to disappear into the background, and when clarity beats cleverness.
• You can show us work where the details matter : typography, composition, hierarchy, motion and interaction. You can explain why you made something the way you did, not just show us the final screen.
• You're interested in new creative technology and you're already experimenting with AI, prototyping, design-to-code or whatever new tool helps you move faster and explore further.
• You like sharing unfinished work and can take on feedback without losing interesting ideas. And you can work with engineers and product people without needing everything translated into a perfectly formed design brief.

Life at Envato

• Flexible Working : remote-first across Australia or New Zealand with flexibility for you to manage work and life as you need
• Work from Anywhere : apply to work in another location for up to 3 months per calendar year.
• Connection Budget : an annual budget to connect with the team IRL where and when possible.
• Learning Budget : study leave and an annual budget for you to put towards your learning and development.

• Volunteer Leave : 2 days per calendar year to volunteer and give back to the community.
