Senior Graphic Designer – Brand & Print (4-Month Contract)

About Us

Mad Mex (Australia) is back to its OG roots! Fighting for Flavour, Defending for Freshness, and always bringing a Por El Sabor (for the flavour) attitude to everything we do.

We’re not here to play it safe or serve bland, boring “Mexican”. We’re here to bring big, bold, unapologetically Mexican flavours to Australia and build the most loved Mexican brand in the country while we do it.

With over 75 restaurants and growing fast, we’re entering our next phase of growth, investing in our brand, story, culture and familia, and bigger, bolder ways to bring Por El Sabor to life.
