A multi-page brochure mid-production. A video edit due Friday. Four stakeholders who each believe theirs is the priority. You're the one who decides what ships, when, and to what standard — and you've done it before without the studio grinding to a halt.

You must have led a creative studio team with graphic designers and video production staff reporting directly to you — owning intake, prioritisation, resourcing and delivery. Applications without demonstrable people leadership across both disciplines will not be reviewed.

Why This Role This is a genuine step up in scope. You'll lead an integrated team of eight across graphic design and video production for a global premium travel business — not just keeping work moving, but deciding how the studio should operate as the business scales. Systems, workflow tools, automation and AI-enabled production are yours to shape, with the budget and authority to do it. You'll report to the Creative Director and sit close to the senior marketing leadership.

About the Company An established global travel business delivering premium, high-touch experiences. The Sydney office leads creative output for the region, working across print, digital, social and video with a consistently high bar for brand and craft.

Eligibility Requirements You must hold full, unrestricted working rights for Australia at the time of application. Visa sponsorship and relocation support are not available for this role.
