Product Graphic Designer

Role: Graphic & CMF Designer
Location: Sydney, AUS

We are currently looking for a Product Graphic Designer that can blur the line between Graphic and CMF Design.

You must be a self-starter with a drive to deliver innovative ideas and design solutions, with the ability to support the Product Developer through the full process — from design concept to production — including execution of packaging, user manuals, training material, and product webpages.
As this role requires a wide range of design skills, we are looking for an individual who is open to learning and stretching outside their core
competence.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

• Trend Analysis:
  Staying informed about current trends in color, materials, and technology to anticipate future consumer preferences.
• Colour Selection:
  Choosing colour palettes that align with brand identity, user emotions, and cultural significance.
• Material Selection:
  Sourcing and selecting materials that meet functional requirements (such as durability and certification), aesthetic goals, and sustainability standards.
• Collaboration:
  Working with cross-functional teams including engineering, marketing, and supply chain to ensure CMF choices are feasible and integrate well into the overall product development process.
• Sustainability Focus:
  Incorporating sustainable material choices, waste reduction, and energy efficiency into the design process.

WHAT WILL YOU WORK ON?

• Helmets
• Backyard Games
• Darts
• Table Tennis
• Sporting Goods

This role has flexible working arrangements, with an expectation to be in the office 3 days per week (Tuesday–Thursday) to remain engaged and connected with the team. Additional office attendance may occasionally be required.
This is a rare opportunity to design for exclusive in-house brands sold nationally through a large retail network, contributing to products that inspire Australians to pursue active lifestyles.

WHAT WILL YOU BRING?

• Bachelor’s degree in Graphic or Industrial Design
• 5+ years’ experience within Graphics, CMF, and/or Product Design
• Advanced experience with Adobe Creative Suite, especially:
