The Role

Shape the visual identity of a leading lifestyle brand and bring its stories to life across every platform!

Few Australian brands carry the history, trust and cultural significance of The Australian Women’s Weekly. For more than 90 years, The Weekly has been part of Australian women’s lives. Today, it’s evolving well beyond its print heritage into a truly multi-platform brand spanning digital, social, vodcasts, memberships, food, events and more.

As Creative Director, you’ll play a defining role in what that next chapter looks and feels like. This is a significant, all-encompassing creative leadership role across a large and diverse brand ecosystem. You’ll honour what makes The Australian Women's Weekly iconic while helping shape how the brand shows up for the future; this is an opportunity to help take an extraordinary legacy and creatively define its future.

We’re open to creative leaders from beyond traditional publishing; we're really looking for someone with a genuine love for the brand, a cooperative mindset, curiosity about where it can go next and the energy to make things happen.
