We're on the look out for an experienced freelance Senior Graphic Designer to work with our government client for early June 2023.
This will be a remote requirement, although you will need to be available five days a week during standard business hours, and you may be required to go onsite for a meeting.
Don't be fooled by the fact that this is an in house opportunity; this studio would equal most design agencies out there in terms of skills required and quality of work produced.
You're a Senior Designer who is able to take your work from concept all the way through to finished (if necessary), and have strong creative problem solving skills. You'll have experience with the development of a brand and have the nous to push existing style guides a little further.
You'll be able to work across short and long document formatting and typesetting – creative and technical. You'll be able to do Print/Web finished art set up experience – pagination, colours, sizes, resolution etc.
You can do Infographics – fact-based infographic design, and signage design (trade show stands or branded fit out work etc).

You'll be able to work in a timely manner and your prior experience ensure that you have the ability to really listen to the brief resulting in less time briefing, less time repeating information and less edits to design work. This means a mature understanding of (and sometimes having to interpreting with our help) design briefs along with excellent client liaison skills and the ability to follow instructions precisely.
You're not precious either. You understand that working in an environment that has internal processes means that there will sometimes be last minute changes or even a project being placed on hold. You've got the maturity and ability to go with the flow and to provide a high level service each day.
This is an in house environment that produces work to an exceptionally high, design studio quality level, however, you will need to be a quick learner to pick up on the processes although assistance is provided. You'll also have a professional, pleasant and mature communication skills for those moments when you're dealing with clients.
You'll be right across the Adobe Creative Suite CC using a MAC platform, and able to proof and quality control of concept, design and finished artwork to a senior level. Experience with Canva is also a bonus.
