- A sense of humour always goes a long way.
About Salt
We’ve been creating brilliant design for almost 20 years across a wide range of clients including government, non-profits and medium private businesses. Projects include large corporate documents, brand development and application, marketing and promotional collateral, packaging, signage, websites and social media.
Our culture is approachable, supportive and fun. We’re proud of our positive team environment and we’ll do everything we can to see you thrive and be the best designer you can be!
We value input, feedback and direction from all of our team: it’s a process which makes for even better results for our clients.
Since COVID, our studio has been working in the virtual realm, operating from each team member’s home. The flexibility has suited out team.
For the immediate future, this position will enable you to also work from home. You’ll be equipped with the latest Mac and cloud-based software and be provided extensive training in our systems and processes.
We are considering moving into a studio space again (within Brisbane’s inner northside)… if we do, we’re open to negotiate a flexible work arrangement.
To apply
The creativity you invest in applying for this position will prove to us you have what it takes. Tell us who you are, how you design and execute ideas. What drives you? Motivates you? And most importantly, why you want to join Salt.
