The Role
We’re looking for a Graphic Designer to join the NRL’s Commercial Marketing team. You’ll take briefs from across the business and turn them into distinctive, on-brand work, from the first concept through to finished artwork.

- Work with teams across the NRL and with external partners, including agencies, clubs and sponsors, to clarify briefs and present creative ideas.
- Prioritise briefs, allocate work and manage competing deadlines while maintaining the quality of the work.
- Lead and mentor the Junior Graphic Designer and improve how the team briefs, reviews and delivers design work.




- Proactively identify and resolve issues before they impact event delivery or revenue.

About You
Ideally you will have:

- Relevant tertiary qualifications and at least five years’ professional design experience in an agency or in-house team.
- A strong portfolio that includes brand and website projects and shows how you develop and execute a concept.
- Advanced Adobe Creative Suite skills, with experience preparing finished artwork for print and digital, working with image and asset libraries, and building templates in Word and PowerPoint.
- Experience managing multiple brands, applying and developing brand guidelines, and leading or mentoring others.
- The confidence to present your ideas, explain design decisions and work with stakeholders when priorities or deadlines compete.
- Experience in motion graphics or animation is welcome.
