WHY JANE?

Jane Doe Creation is an independent creative agency based in North Sydney.

We’re built around Creative Realism™, ambitious creative thinking grounded in what people actually do, want and care about. We’re small enough that you’ll have a voice and established enough that the work gets seen. There aren’t layers of people between you, the idea and the client. You’ll be trusted to think, make, present and take ownership of your work.

We’re actively exploring what AI can unlock for creativity and production. We want people who are excited about what’s next rather than waiting for someone else to figure it out. You’ll work from our North Sydney office 2–3 days a week, with flexibility around the rest.

Less hierarchy. More ownership. More making.

$90K–$100k incl super, depending on experience

One client. 16 shopping centres. A lot of creative territory.

Jane is looking for a Midweight Art Director to join our team, working exclusively across the QIC shopping centre portfolio. You’ll create national campaigns and centre-specific work across fashion, food, lifestyle, events and some of the biggest retail moments of the year.

This is a hands-on creative role. You’ll concept, design, write, present, shoot and roll out. You need to be as comfortable coming up with the idea as you are making sure it looks brilliant when it gets out into the world.

You’ll have a natural love of fashion, retail, social and culture. You’ll follow what people are wearing, watching, searching, sharing and buying — and know how to turn that into relevant creative work.

We want someone forward-thinking,



curious about where creativity is going and already embracing AI as part of how they think and make.

THE ROLE

You’ll

- Concept national and local retail campaigns
- Develop ideas from brief through to execution
- Art direct and design across OOH, social, digital, in-centre, VM, content and activations
- Take master creative ideas and intelligently roll them out across multiple formats, channels and centres
- Art direct photography and video shoots from pre-production through to post
- Work closely with photographers, directors, stylists, editors, retouchers and production partners
- Understand and work within established brands while finding ways to keep the work fresh
- Write and refine headlines, social copy and campaign messaging
- Bring strategic thinking to the creative process — understanding the audience, behaviour and commercial objective behind the brief
- Present ideas directly to clients and respond confidently to feedback
- Use AI for ideation, visualisation, image creation and creative development
- Work confidently across Adobe Creative Suite and Canva
- Keep across fashion, retail, social, technology and cultural trends
- Collaborate closely with our Project Managers and wider Jane team

SKILLS WE’RE LOOKING FOR

Concepting: You can find the idea, not just make it look good.





Design: You have a strong eye and a high standard of craft.

Rollout: You understand how a great idea translates across different channels, formats and audiences.

Shoot experience: You know how to plan and art direct photography and video productions.

Brand understanding: You can understand a brand quickly and know when to protect it and when to push it.

Copywriting: You can write a strong headline and articulate an idea without always needing a copywriter beside you.

Strategic thinking: You want to understand why we’re making something, not just what we’re making.

AI: You’re confident using AI tools and curious about how they can make the creative process better.

Adobe + Canva: You’re highly capable in Adobe Creative Suite and genuinely valuable in Canva.

Social + trends: You love social, follow trends and have a natural curiosity about fashion, retail and culture.

People: You’re good with people. Clients, creatives, suppliers and collaborators. You can present an idea, take feedback and build relationships without ego.

ABOUT YOU

Ideally, you have around 4–7 years’ experience in an agency, studio or relevant in-house creative environment, with experience across retail, fashion, lifestyle or consumer brands. You have a natural love of fashion and an instinct for what’s happening next.

You’re curious rather than comfortable. You experiment with new tools. You follow culture. You bring references. You have opinions. And you want to keep getting better.

Most importantly, you’re a good human who likes making good work with other good humans.
