Do you love design and dream about changing the world (even just a little bit)? We’re looking for a senior designer who is passionate about conceptual design and working on projects that can make a social difference.

Proudly First Nations owned and run, Carbon Creative is a social creative agency dedicated to making good work for clients who do good.

As a dynamic, smallish creative agency, we have very few layers, preferring to keep things simple yet specialised. We work on clients big and small covering everything from health to fashion, and take great pride in our authentic, creative and strategic approach to any challenge. We’re hardworking and dedicated, but we also like to share a laugh (and bicker about where you can find the best coffee and what should be on today’s playlist).

Like everyone in the Carbon team, the expectation is that you will work across our full range of work, including our First Nations projects, and will be respectful of all traditions and cultures. We promote an inclusive workplace for all and believe everyone should have a workplace where they can thrive. With that in mind, we would also strongly encourage people from underrepresented communities to apply.

• deliver strong creative design solutions for a variety of projects across print, digital, social, TV, out of home etc.
• work as part of a small, highly motivated and talented team
• collaborate in seeing jobs through from brief to delivery
• work primarily on-site in either our Brisbane office or Sydney office (with one WFH day per week)

You: 

• are passionate about good ideas and well-crafted design (and have the skills to back up that passion)

• have a sense of humour and the ability to leave your ego at the door (we have a strong ‘no a##holes’ policy)
