About the Role
This critical role actively defends the Argus visual brand, ensuring consistent and engaging creative assets are produced efficiently across print, digital, motion, and event formats. The successful candidate must blend strategic thinking with hands-on execution—translating creative concepts into tailored solutions, championing innovation in tools and techniques, and enforcing design standards while collaborating globally.
Key responsibilities focus on:
- Embodying (!) brand guardianship by advising on visual consistency, reinforcing identity systems, and improving the company’s visual language

Responsibilities
Creative Execution & Producing a Variety of Assets

- Static outputs (including infographics, brochures, flyers, social posts, email graphics, presentations, environmental graphics)
- Motion/video content (explainer videos, dynamic banners, interactive elements)
- Develop high-quality templates for Adobe Express and InDesign to empower wider internal adoption—ensuring they remain brand-compliant yet user-friendly for non-designers
Brand Advocacy & Innovation
- Act as the voice of the brand’s visual identity, ensuring all deliverables reflect the latest positioning and generate resonance across channels
- Create interactive or emerging-tech content (e.g., web-embedded assets leveraging AI-assisted design, generative elements)
- Guide the adoption of new creative tools, testing them for suitability with functional feedback to ensure efficiency and innovation align with business goals

Collaboration & Operations
- Maintain centralised libraries for templates, imagery, icons, and source files—implementing version control and file standards

Requirements

- Demonstrated versatility across static and motion design (portfolio review will prioritise diversity of work: corporate, #marketingtech, social-first)
- Strategic knowledge of:
- Typography, layout, visual hierarchy
- Brand systems and digital/print production pipelines
- Cross-format adaptation (e.g., directorial thinking in social graphics vs. print-quality collateral)
