Mid Weight Illustrator

You are skilled at your craft
- You live and breathe design
- You marry art and design to tell a story
- We’re a leading agency based in Redfern working with a number of global brands delivering a wide spectrum of digital projects.

We have an awesome opportunity for a designer with a passion for illustration to truly push the boundaries on what we do with some of the world’s biggest brands.
- We have an enviable international and local client list and the working environment is fun, social and engaging, with flexibility to work from home or in our warehouse-style office space that is full of natural light.
- Allow us to introduce ourselves
- We’re Apparent, a full-service, independent agency made up of 140 thinkers, creators and solution-makers doing what we do best. One thing you should know about us: we’ve got an entrepreneurial spirit, and we know the work worth doing doesn’t fit into neat, tidy boxes. And neither should you, for that matter. Our warehouse space in Redfern is here for you to gather, make stuff you’re proud of and grow your strengths (even if they have nothing to do with your job description).
- We punch well above our weight, with some of the biggest clients in the world on our roster, from tech giants like Google and VMware, to local icons like Tourism Australia and Cricket Australia. Our approach? We call it the red thread. In other words, it’s the thing that connects everything we do, from the customer, through to the client and brand. On any given day you can expect to cross paths with someone in strategy, brand, creative, content production, social media, UX/UI, technology and media planning and buying. Oh and dogs, too. You’ll definitely cross paths with adorable dogs.
- A few things you’ll like about working here:

- A flexible and hybrid working policy
- Generous parental leave and summer days off
- Heaps of growth and training opportunities
- 24/7 access to our employee assistance program for you and your family
