Digital Art Director / Senior Digital Designer - Social, Web, Ads, AI

JOB OVERVIEW

We are looking for a remote Digital Art Director / Senior Digital Designer with strong agency experience, excellent digital design craft and practical AI workflow skills.

You will work with an Australian agency team across social media content, paid ads, digital campaigns, landing pages, web design, email and brand assets.

This role is not for a basic Canva designer. We need someone with strong taste, clean typography, premium layout skills and the ability to turn rough ideas into polished, client-ready creative.

You must be able to work independently, move quickly and deliver high-quality digital design across multiple brands.

WHAT YOU WILL DO

Create social media content, paid social ads, carousels, storyboards and campaign assets
Design digital ad suites for Meta, TikTok, Google Display, YouTube and programmatic placements
Design landing pages, website sections, email layouts and digital campaign pages
Turn briefs, ideas and feedback into polished visual concepts
Use AI tools to explore ideas, create visual options, improve imagery, retouch assets and speed up production
Resize, adapt and refine creative across multiple formats
Work with strategists, copywriters, account managers and media teams
Keep files clean, organised and ready for review or handover

REQUIREMENTS

4+ years of experience in a digital, creative, advertising or integrated agency
Strong portfolio showing real digital design work, not just templates
Excellent typography, layout, colour, composition and image selection skills
Experience designing for social media, paid ads, websites and digital campaigns
Strong skills in Figma, Photoshop, Illustrator and Adobe Creative Cloud
Hands-on experience with AI tools such as Midjourney, Adobe Firefly, Runway, ChatGPT or similar
Ability to use AI without making the work look generic or unfinished
Strong attention to detail across spelling, alignment, formatting, exports and file naming
Good written English and clear communication
Must be available for regular overlap with Sydney business hours
Experience with beauty, fashion, lifestyle, FMCG, wellness or tourism brands is a strong advantage

THIS ROLE IS NOT FOR YOU IF

You only make Canva templates
You rely on AI to create the whole design
You cannot show a strong portfolio
You need step-by-step direction on every task
You are not comfortable working across multiple brands
You have not worked in an agency or fast-paced client environment

Please send:

Your CV
Your portfolio link
Your expected monthly or hourly rate
