The Traffic Manager & Print Producer is a key member of our fast-paced internal Creative Studio. As a ‘gate keeper’ to our creative teams, you will be responsible for overseeing the day-to-day workflow of the Creative Studio and managing the end-to-end delivery of all creative and marketing materials for the Qantas Group.

Acting as the primary point of contact for internal stakeholders, this role ensures efficient engagement with the Creative Studio. Key responsibilities include prioritising briefs and tasks in alignment with business objectives and ROI, allocating resources across design, copy, video, and photography teams, and managing workflows to ensure timely and high-quality delivery of all projects. The Traffic Manager & Print Producer plays a central role in keeping creative and production teams on schedule, communicating project status to stakeholders, and ensuring all deliverables meet deadlines and quality standards. This includes coordination with media outlets, publishers, and print vendors.

To succeed in this role, strong project, time, and stakeholder management skills are essential, along with a deep understanding of creative processes—including copywriting, graphic design, and video and photography production. The ability to accurately scope creative hours, manage expectations, and remain composed under pressure is critical. Core to the role is the effective management of resourcing and scheduling, as well as overseeing print production. This includes managing the production process, final approvals, and timely delivery of assets for print and press advertising (e.g., newspapers, magazines, direct mail), out-of-home (OOH) placements, and Qantas-owned media spaces such as long-term holdings (LTH).

The role also involves optimising resource allocation—across full-time employees and contract graphic designers—to ensure the Creative Studio is properly staffed to meet the diverse creative demands of Qantas business units.
