Mid-weight Designer - Key Client
About Fred & Freda
We're the creative agency for property. Fred & Freda partners nationally with owners, managers and their teams on the campaigns, brands and environments that make places worth visiting.
We're a Pyrmont-based team working with some of Australia's biggest landlords on national campaign rollouts, centre brands and precinct work.
The role
We're looking for a mid-weight designer to lead day-to-day creative on a key client. You'll be their go-to designer and brand manager - across their centres, campaigns and brand standards and you'll guide the other designers working on the account.
It's a design role first. You'll spend most of your time making things, with the confidence to run the account's creative rhythm and keep the quality high.
Full-time · Pyrmont, Sydney · Reports to the Design Director
What you'll do
- Design across the client's portfolio - national campaigns, seasonal rollouts, centre marketing, digital screens, social and signage
- Own the client's brand standards and make sure everything going out the door is on-brand and consistent
- Run the day-to-day creative on the account: take briefs, plan the workload, hit deadlines
- Guide and review the work of the other designers on the account, including our dedicated account designer
- Adapt master campaigns into rollout suites across multiple centres, quickly and accurately
- Work directly with the client's marketing team - present work,
take feedback and turn it into explicit next steps
- Prepare print- and digital-ready artwork, and manage files so anyone on the team can pick them up
- Bring ideas to the table, not just execution - we want the client to see us as a creative partner
What you'll bring
- 3–5 years' experience as a designer, ideally agency-side
- Retail, property or shopping centre experience or a strong understanding of multi-site campaign rollouts
- A strong portfolio across brand, campaign and layout work
- Expert in Adobe Creative Suite (InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop); motion or After Effects is a bonus
- Solid print production knowledge and an eye for detail that doesn't switch off
- Comfortable being client-facing and managing a big account's workload without losing the craft
- Keen to keep growing as a designer and happy to help others grow too
What we offer
- A health day off every quarter, plus your birthday off
- Leave you can borrow from us over the Christmas shutdown if you haven't accrued enough
- Industry events, workshops and learning throughout the year
- Work with some of the biggest names in Australian retail property
- A small, senior team where your work is seen and your ideas count
