Graphic & Production Designer

Graphic & Production Designer Position: Graphic & Production Designer Salary: AU$2,500/month Work Schedule: 9:00AM-5:00PM WST

OVERVIEW:

The client is looking for a graphic designer to serve as their production design partner. This role is the hands-on execution layer of their marketing design output — taking brand assets, illustrations, and briefs from their internal team and turning them into finished, production-ready deliverables across packaging, venue, digital, and trade channels. Their in-house illustrator is moving into a purely illustrative role focused on original artwork for labels, campaigns, and brand world-building. The outsourced designer will work downstream — receiving his illustrations and composing them into the final assets described below. Briefs, assets, and feedback will be managed through Airtable and Google Drive. We move quickly and expect a partner who can match their pace without sacrificing quality.

RESPONSIBILITIES:

1. Label Design & Packaging Artwork Build print-ready beer labels using supplied illustrations, composing them with brand typography (Futura Now Headline / Text), legal and compliance copy (standard drinks, allergens, barcode/UPC), and production specifications. Manage print production files — bleeds, die lines, substrate considerations, Pantone-to-process colour management. Packaging artwork across cans, bottles, cartons, and shipper boxes. Must understand or quickly learn Australian alcohol labelling regulatory requirements. 2. Venue Templates & Print Collateral Design and maintain a templated system across six venues for weekly specials boards, seasonal menus, A-frames, table talkers, posters, window decals, and other in-venue print assets. Templates must be venue-staff-friendly (Canva-based editable templates preferred) while remaining firmly on-brand. Account for venue-specific variations — a 600-seat beer hall has different signage needs to a neighbourhood taphouse. Festival and event-specific print — banners, flags, booth graphics, merchandise mockups. 3. EDM Design & Build (Consumer + Trade) Design and compile email campaigns in Klaviyo for both consumer-facing communications (new releases, venue promotions, loyalty program) and trade-facing sends (new product sell sheets, seasonal range announcements, key account updates). Must be able to build responsive HTML email templates, not just deliver flat design comps. Understanding of email rendering quirks across major clients (Outlook, Gmail, Apple Mail). Work alongside Sarah (Digital/CRM) on audience segmentation, campaign scheduling, and template libraries. 4. Website Updates & Schema Front-end website content updates — page builds, image and asset swaps, landing pages for campaigns or new venue launches (e.g. Bootleg Brewery 2026). Implement and maintain structured data / schema markup (JSON-LD) for products, venues, events, and organisation data to support SEO performance. Basic CMS proficiency, responsive design awareness, and web accessibility fundamentals. Coordinate with Sarah on Google Business Profile alignment and digital consistency. 5. Trade Pitch Decks Build and maintain trade presentation decks using the existing pitch deck template. Update with current range information, venue data, social proof, and sustainability credentials. Decks must be visually compelling and land with national retail buyers, independent bottle shops, on-premise groups, and distributor partners. PowerPoint and/or Canva proficiency required — ability to work within their existing green-palette internal communications style. 6. Ad Hoc Design — Ingredient Cards, Festival Assets & More Rapid-turnaround design for one-off and seasonal needs: ingredient specification cards for trade events, festival booth design and signage, collaboration beer co-branded assets, Beer-Ducation session materials, and merchandise artwork. Comfort with high volume, quick pivots, and concurrent briefs is essential. Ability to self-manage a queue of requests via Airtable-based asset request system. D2B
