About the role

In an election campaign it’s important to be seen. In this role you’ll create bold, energetic campaign materials for display on fences, leaflets and online spaces all across the state. You’ll be working in a multidisciplinary team, producing graphic design solutions across print, digital and social platforms. As guardian of the campaign look and feel you’ll ensure that our brand guidelines are maintained across all platforms and provide expert design advice to local campaigns and creative input into our materials development.

This isn’t your average job: you’ll work with a wide range of people and need to be self-motivated and flexible – but you’ll meet amazing Greens members from all walks of life, and make a real difference to growing the political party that is building a future for all of us. If you enjoy seeing your work out in the world and are passionate about building a progressive Australia, you’ll love this job.
