Midweight Designer

Summary

Join Employment Hero's in-house agency, Hero Collective, as a Midweight Designer. You will collaborate with a creative team to produce engaging content, elevate the brand, and explore new tools and technologies, particularly in AI. Responsibilities include designing across various platforms (paid ads, emails, social media, etc.), pushing creative boundaries with AI, and collaborating effectively with other team members. The ideal candidate possesses 3-5 years of design experience, a strong digital-first portfolio, and proficiency in Figma, Adobe Creative Suite, and AI tools. Employment Hero offers remote work flexibility, cutting-edge tools, and a supportive team environment.

Requirements

• You’ve got 3–5 years of design magic under your belt, ideally split between the agency hustle and in-house pace
• Your folio? Smart, stunning, brand-led and unapologetically digital-first - with proof it actually gets results
• You can spot good design from a mile away and back it up with intentional, thoughtful decisions every time
• AI isn’t a buzzword to you - you’re already prompting, iterating, and integrating it into your workflow like a pro
• Figma and Adobe Creative Suite are your natural habitat, and you’re not afraid to dip into After Effects or Premiere Pro
• You know your way around motion - whether you’re storyboarding, collaborating, or bringing ideas to life with animation
• You’ve designed for pretty much everything: digital, socials, ads, web, email, OOH, print, merch, events - you name it
• You balance pixel-perfect detail with big-picture thinking, nailing both execution and concept
• You understand UX/UI principles and can make wireframes and flows that are as beautiful as they are functional
• You’re curious, proactive, and fearless when it comes to trying fresh ideas or pushing brand boundaries with tech

Responsibilities

• Work closely with motion designers, copywriters, illustrators, and art directors to produce engaging, scroll-stopping content
• Design with purpose to strengthen and evolve the brand while keeping things fun
• Explore and integrate new tools, especially in tech and AI, to push creative boundaries
• Craft beautiful, thoughtful designs that deliver real results
• Make work that looks good and works hard - You’ll design across the board, from paid ads and emails to social content, integrated campaigns, landing pages, and the occasional print piece. Your work won’t just look great, it’ll feel on brand, scroll stopping, and built to perform. No cookie cutter templates here, just sharp, thoughtful design that actually delivers
• Push creative boundaries with AI - You don’t just use AI to move faster. You use it to unlock new ideas, workflows, and creative outcomes. Whether you're storyboarding motion pieces, generating visual directions, editing short form video, or testing layouts with AI tools, you treat technology as a creative amplifier
• Think in motion - You’ve got a motion mindset. You don’t need to animate everything yourself (though bonus points if you do), but you understand how things move, feel, and flow. You can storyboard, collaborate with motion designers, and help bring concepts to life in ways that stop the scroll
• Collaborate like a pro - You’ll work closely with other creatives, marketers, and product folks to bring projects to life. You take feedback well, ask smart questions, and aren’t precious about iterating. You know how to keep momentum going and make the work better together
• Push the brand, don’t just follow it - You know when to follow the rules and when to bend them. You’ll help evolve our brand toolkit, suggest fresh takes, and bring a designer’s eye to how we show up in the world, visually, digitally, and socially

Benefits

• You will work remotely, with the flexibility to own your time and impact
• You will access cutting-edge tools to amplify your work, knowledge and outputs
• You’ll surround yourself with ambitious, outcome-driven colleagues who challenge you to do the best work of your life
• You’ll own ESOP (employee share options) in one of the world’s fastest-growing tech companies
• You’ll also have access to a wide range of benefits that includes - a very generous parental leave policy, subsidised egg freezing (so you can make the choice that’s right for you, on your terms), a WFH office expense budget, and outstanding learning & development opportunities
