Graphic Designer (Casual | Remote - Melbourne Preferred)
About Us:
Aria Mac is a Melbourne-based, full-coverage creative marketing agency on a mission to build unmistakable brand identities with a social-first approach.
Everything we do anchors back to three words: Storytelling. Creativity. Connection.
For us, connection beats perfection every single time. We are all about the people, and our ultimate goal is to turn passive viewers into obsessed communities. We’re not looking for hyper-polished, sterile designs that look good on a grid but feel hollow. We want big creative swings, unmistakable flair, and visual storytelling that makes brands genuinely relatable to their audiences.
We are actively seeking a designer who has a versatile skillset across a range of lifestyle and corporate industries, including:
- Food & Beverage
- Fashion & Beauty
- Health & Wellness
- Professional Services
You will be instrumental in elevating client narratives, bringing your unique touch to our clients' digital presences.
The Opportunity & Commitment
This is a remote, casual position offering a high-growth, ground-floor opportunity with an initial commitment of approximately 4–8 hours per week.
As we are a growing agency, our project load is dynamic; the ideal candidate should be comfortable with hours that scale up based on client needs and campaign deadlines. Our goal is to scale this role alongside our client roster, with the pathway to transition this into a permanent part-time position as we expand.
Note: While this is a remote role, our team is Melbourne-based and we love to meet up from time-to-time to celebrate wins, catch up for coffee, etc. While attending is optional, we value teammates who love to get involved when possible!
Core Responsibilities
- Visual Identity Development: Design distinct visual identities, logo suites, and comprehensive brand guidelines.
- Platform-Native Design: Execute highly-curated, platform-native design assets, including social media carousels, engaging templates, and static digital graphics.
- Creative Illustrations: Produce custom illustrations tailored to specific client brand tones and project requirements.
- Collaboration & Strategy: Collaborate seamlessly with our team of creatives and strategists to ensure all content is strategically sound and aligned with client objectives.
Your Core Skillset To be successful at Aria Mac, you’ll bring a blend of technical skills, strategic thinking, and great energy.
Hard Skills:
- Design Software Proficiency: Full professional proficiency in the Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign are essential). Familiarity with Canva for client-facing templates is a plus.
- Visual Mastery: A robust portfolio that showcases technical excellence in typography, spatial awareness, and strategic layout design.
- Strategic Acumen: An understanding of marketing strategy and the 'why' behind commercial design.
Bonus Expertise (Not required, but we’d love it):
- Experience in motion graphics/animation.
- Web design experience (Framer, Shopify, Squarespace).
- Post-production photography or video editing/colour grading.
Soft Skills:
- Autonomy & Reliability: A proven ability to work autonomously from a digital brief and consistently meet tight deadlines.
- Collaborative Spirit: A friendly, personable, and proactive approach to teamwork.
- Discerning Taste: We operate in a social-first landscape where 'cookie-cutter' content is ignored. We want a designer with unmistakable creative flair, an eye for curation, and the drive to push visual boundaries.
- Passion & Curiosity: A deep love for visual culture and a drive to constantly evolve. You are naturally curious, always expanding your creative toolkit, and eager to push visual boundaries rather than play it safe.
How To Apply
We believe a thoughtful message is better than a "perfect" corporate one. To apply, please submit the following to [email protected]:
- A brief resume or CV.
- A link to your portfolio (applications without a portfolio cannot be considered).
- A brief, authentic note telling us why you’re the perfect fit. Skip the formal cover letter template and show us your personality—tell us about your passions, your hobbies, and what makes you tick. While we care about hard skills, we know the best creatives are shaped by their lived experiences, tastes, and curiosities.
We can’t wait to hear from you!
