Perth Festival | Full-time, permanent

Perth Festival is looking for a talented Graphic Designer to join our Marketing team and help shape the visual identity of one of Australia’s leading arts festivals. This is a permanent full-time role with hybrid working options.

This is a hands-on creative role where you’ll lead on all things brand and design, reporting to the Senior Marketing Manager and working closely with a fixed-term Graphic Design resource.

You’ll be the creative custodian of Perth Festival’s distinctive Black & Yellow brand, overseeing the creative output for Perth Festival 2027 and beyond. You’ll help shape how the Festival looks and feels across every touchpoint - from major campaign to digital content, print signage and the unexpected.

You might find yourself designing a beer can one day, creating engaging content for our Lotterywest Films program the next, or developing high-impact outdoor advertising across Perth.

About the role

In this role, you'll lead the visual direction of Perth Festival's brand, developing creative concepts across campaigns, digital, print and events, and guiding ideas from concept through to final artwork. You'll support the Fixed Term Graphic Designer, manage competing deadlines in a fast-paced environment, and work closely with internal teams and external stakeholders to keep the brand consistent and fresh.

This could include:

• Designing posters, publications, flyers and promotional collateral.

• Creating campaign assets across print, digital, social, email, web and outdoor.

• Developing venue signage, wayfinding and large-format creative.

• Creating engaging visual content for digital platforms and communications.

• Preparing artwork and managing production with external suppliers.

• Supporting the delivery of Festival campaigns from concept through to completion.

• Maintaining organised digital asset libraries and ensuring files are correctly stored and version controlled.

• Working with the wider Marketing team to deliver creative that connects with audiences and brings the Festival to life.

Who you are

You’re a highly creative, detail-driven designer with strong visual judgement and a passion for contemporary design. You’re confident taking a brief, developing a concept and seeing it through to production.

You’ll bring:

• 3+ years’ experience in graphic design, visual communication or creative services.

• A relevant qualification in Graphic Design, Visual Communication or a similar discipline.

• Advanced proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite, particularly InDesign, Illustrator and Photoshop.

• Experience designing across print and digital formats, including campaign assets, publications, social and web as well as large-format applications.

• Strong organisational skills and the ability to manage competing deadlines.

• Excellent attention to detail and communication skills with a collaborative and proactive approach to work.

• A portfolio that demonstrates bold thinking, versatility and excellent craft.

• Whilst not essential, experience in arts, festivals, publishing, media or cultural organisations is desirable.
