About Us
HBC Trading Australia is a growing food manufacturing and distribution company offering high-quality products across Australian and international markets. As we continue to grow and launch new products, we’re looking for a talented Mid-Weight Graphic Designer to join our team. This is a varied, hands-on role covering packaging, print, digital marketing, WordPress and emerging AI-assisted creative workflows.
About the Role
You’ll help bring our brands and products to life across packaging, labels, marketing materials and digital platforms. Food packaging requires creativity as well as accuracy. You’ll work closely with our Product Development and Quality Assurance teams to produce attractive, consistent artwork that meets brand requirements and relevant food-labelling standards. You don’t need to be a compliance expert—we’re looking for someone who is detail-focused, comfortable working with feedback and willing to develop their knowledge of food-industry requirements.
We’re also looking for a designer who is curious about AI and understands how emerging tools can support ideation, content creation and more effective creative workflows.
Key Responsibilities
- Develop packaging concepts, product labels and branding materials for new and existing products.
- Prepare, update and manage accurate packaging artwork in collaboration with Product Development and Quality Assurance.
- Apply approved regulatory, ingredient, nutritional and product information to packaging and label artwork.
- Create print and digital marketing materials, including brochures, catalogues, advertisements, email banners, newsletters and social media content.
- Prepare press-ready artwork and production files for commercial printing.
- Liaise with printers, packaging suppliers and other production partners when required.
- Update and maintain content and visual elements across our WordPress websites.
- Use AI tools thoughtfully to support research, ideation, image development, content creation and workflow efficiency.
- Operate our in-house label-printing machine and produce on-demand batches of product labels.
- Support the design of exhibition and food-show materials when required.
- Maintain brand consistency across multiple products, ranges and communication channels.
- Stay informed about design, packaging, digital and AI trends relevant to the food and beverage sector.
Skills and Experience
- Approximately 3–5 years of professional graphic design experience, packaging or a related industry.
- Advanced proficiency in Adobe Illustrator and Adobe InDesign is essential.
- Strong working knowledge of Adobe Photoshop and the wider Adobe Creative Suite.
- Practical experience using WordPress, including updating page content, images and layouts.
- An active interest in AI and experience using AI-assisted tools within a professional creative workflow.
- Strong packaging and print-production knowledge, including artwork setup, prepress, colour, dielines, finishes and supplier specifications.
- Excellent typography, layout and visual communication skills.
- Solid attention to detail and confidence managing artwork.
- Ability to manage multiple projects, revisions and deadlines in a fast-paced setting.
- Clear communication skills and the ability to collaborate internally with sales, marketing and quality Assurance teams.
- Knowledge of Australian food-labelling requirements is highly regarded, but not essential.
- A qualification in Graphic Design & Visual Communication or a related disciplines is preferred.
What We’re Looking For
You’re a capable mid-weight designer who combines creativity with accuracy. You enjoy variety, take ownership of your work and is comfortable moving between packaging, print and digital projects. You’re open to feedback, organised when managing artwork revisions and interested in how AI can strengthen—not replace—the creative process. Most importantly, you care about producing polished, accurate work that is ready for the real world.
Eligibility
Applicants must be an Australian citizen or permanent resident. Please note that employer sponsorship is not available for this position.
What We Offer
- A creative and varied in-house design role.
- The opportunity to work across established brands and new product launches.
- A collaborative environment involving Marketing, Product Development and Quality Assurance.
- Opportunities to build your skills in packaging, food labelling, WordPress and AI-assisted design.
- Competitive salary and benefits based on experience.
