Graphic Designer

At Bear Marketing, innovation meets strategy to deliver compelling content and launch impactful campaigns. We're a dynamic agency that thrives on big ideas and even bigger results. If you're ready to push boundaries and jump into a fast-paced creative team, you'll fit right in!

ABOUT THE ROLE

Are you an experienced graphic designer who thrives in a busy studio? Bear Marketing is looking for a Graphic Designer to join our team on a 4-week fixed-term contract starting at the end of October or earlier if the need arises , while one of our senior designers is on leave.

This is a full-time, in-office role (5 days a week) in our Kelvin Grove office. You'll slot straight into a busy workload, working across a wide range of clients and industries, with the variety to keep every day fresh. One day you might be building a website mockup, the next you're designing brand collateral, social content, digital ads or a logo.

We need someone who can hit the ground running: confident, fast and detail-obsessed, who can take a brief and turn it around to a high standard with minimal hand-holding.

There's also the potential for this role to continue as casual overflow or leave cover for the right person, if you're open to it.

WHY JOIN BEAR MARKETING?

Diverse Projects: Work across website, brand, social, digital and logo projects for clients in a wide range of industries.

Collaborative Team: Work alongside our designers, web, video and digital teams, and see your work go out into the world.

Ideal Location: A vibrant Kelvin Grove office close to fantastic cafes, restaurants and the QUT campus.

Ongoing Opportunity: Impress us, and you could be first in line for future casual and cover work.

Great Culture: A supportive, high-achieving team where your creativity is celebrated.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

Design & Creative Delivery:

Brand Consistency: Apply and uphold client brand guidelines across every deliverable.

Multi-Channel Design: Create website mockups, brand collateral, social media graphics, digital ads and logos for a variety of clients.

Fast Turnarounds: Manage multiple projects and deadlines at once, picking up work from the senior designer you're covering.

Asset Management: Keep files, layers and creative assets organised so work can be handed over and picked up easily.

Collaboration & Quality:

Team Collaboration: Work closely with account managers, the video team and the digital and social team to deliver cohesive campaigns.

Quality Control: Review your own work before it goes to the client.

Feedback & Revisions: Take feedback on board and turn around amendments quickly and cleanly.

REQUIREMENTS & QUALIFICATIONS

A Portfolio: A strong portfolio demonstrating commercial design work across digital and print, ideally including web, social and branding.

Proven Experience: Previous agency or in-house design experience, with the ability to work independently at pace.

Technical Skills: Advanced proficiency in the Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign). Figma or similar tools for web mockups is highly regarded. Basic motion or video design skills are a bonus.

Attention to Detail: Precision is key. You can spot a misaligned element or a kerning issue from a mile away.

Fast-Paced Mindset: You stay calm and efficient under pressure and juggle competing deadlines without dropping the ball.

Strong Communication: You can collaborate seamlessly across design, video, digital and account teams.

Availability: Able to start at the end of October or earlier if the need arises and work in the office 5 days a week for the full 4-week period.
