Full-time midweight designer or part-time senior designer, Melbourne or Sydney

Hardie Grant Children’s Publishing

Hardie Grant Children’s Publishing is the young readers’ division of Australia’s largest independent publisher, and the home of best-selling, award-winning and ground-breaking books for children and teens.

We are seeking a full-time midweight designer, or a part-time senior designer, to join our dynamic in-house team in either Melbourne or Sydney. This role is suited to a creative designer with a strong background in publishing design; brand and series design; print process knowledge; design communication skills; and be passionate about creating design-led books that appeal directly to children and teens.

Working closely with the art director, you will work across all Hardie Grant Children’s Publishing lists to create market-leading books and associated printed marketing collateral to the highest of standards. You’ll have the ability to fulfil creative briefs in unique ways that make our products stand out in the market. If you thrive on juggling multiple projects simultaneously, are a creative problem solver, possess the ability to explain design thinking to non-visual people, and are a team player then this is the role for you!

A background in publishing is preferred but not essential. If you have a strong understanding of print design, are a fast learner and a willingness to grow then we’d be keen to hear from you.

Applicants should forward their CV, cover letter and portfolio to applications@hardiegrant.com.au by COB Friday, 26 August.

Hardie Grant is committed to creating a diverse, inclusive and equitable workplace. We offer flexible working and applicants from diverse backgrounds are strongly encouraged to apply, including people who identify as Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander, people from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds and people with a disability.
