Senior Designer

Overview

Senior Designer
Freelance Senior Designer — Out-of-Home Campaign (2-Week Contract)
Location: Remote (must be based in Australia with full working rights)
Contract length: 1-2 weeks
Dates: Monday 7 September

About the Role
We’re looking for an experienced Senior Designer to lead the design setup for a high-profile Out-of-Home (OOH) campaign, as part of a global brand rollout. This is a fast-moving, high-visibility project.

You’ll translate brand assets and creative direction into a full suite of templates, layouts, and typesetting across all formats — working hand-in-hand with a Video Editor.

What You’ll Do

• Lead the design and template setup for a 20-placement OOH campaign, working from brand assets and creative direction
• Interpret and adapt existing brand assets to fit varied, sometimes non-standard, out-of-home formats and dimensions (e.g. large-format screens with secondary strips or panels needing consistent skinning)
• Establish typesetting, layout, and templated structures that a Video Editor can then take through to full versioning
• Partner closely with the Video Editor, working hand-in-hand to ensure a smooth handover of assets and templates
• Apply creative production instinct to bring consistency across all placements — this is a production-led role rather than ground-up concept/creative development
• Deliver static placements and set up the framework for video assets, working to a tight timeline

What We’re Looking For

• Proven experience as a senior designer in advertising, production, or agency environments
• Strong experience with out-of-home (OOH) or large-format design, including adapting layouts across varied dimensions, orientations, and non-standard formats
• Confidence working from established brand guidelines and creative direction — this role is about production with creative instinct, not new concept development
• Experience building templates and structured files that a video editor can efficiently take over for versioning
• Strong collaboration skills — you’ll be working in close partnership with a Video Editor, essentially as a two-person production team
• Excellent attention to detail, strong typesetting skills, and ability to meet fixed deadlines
•  

Based in Australia with full working rights (required)
Software & Technical Skills:

• Adobe Illustrator and Adobe Photoshop (essential)
• Adobe InDesign (for large-format layout and typesetting)
• Adobe After Effects (advantageous — for setting up templates that translate into motion/video work)
• Strong understanding of file setup and specs for out-of-home and large-format digital signage
• Comfortable working within, and extending, existing brand style guides

Logistics

• Fully remote — no in-office attendance required
• 1-2-week engagement: 7–18 September (design lead role, primarily front-loaded in the first week)
