Associate Design Consultant

Start your design career with purpose.

At
Avian
, we help government and enterprise teams deliver better digital services. We work shoulder-to-shoulder with our clients and building capability as we go.

We're looking for an
Associate Design Consultant
to join our team. This is an early-career role with real responsibility, backed by mentoring and support. You'll contribute to research, design, and delivery on projects that matter: from policy challenges to digital platforms used by millions.

About the role

You'll:

  • Support user research and service design activities, from planning to synthesis.
  • Help create design artefacts: journey maps, service blueprints, prototypes, and presentations.
  • Contribute to workshops and co-design sessions with clients and communities.
  • Learn from experienced designers and researchers while growing your own practice.
  • Build your communication and consulting skills in complex, high-stakes environments.

About you:

You don't need to tick every box, but you'll bring:

  • Some experience (through study, internships, or early roles) in UX, service design, content design, or related fields.
  • Strong written communication; you explain clearly, concisely, and persuasively.
  • A strong visual sensibility; you care about how ideas and findings are expressed.
  • Curiosity, openness to feedback, and eagerness to learn.
  • Tertiary qualifications; a Bachelor's degree or above.
  • Ability to hold (or obtain) an Australian Government security clearance.

Why Avian?

  • Purposeful work.
    Services and policy that matter.
  • We go together.
    A team that backs you up, working with deep client partnerships.
  • Growth with support.
    Mentoring, coaching, and the chance to shape your own path.
  • Flexibility.
    Hybrid, family-friendly arrangements with a Canberra base.

At Avian, we're small, and carefully growing. That means everyone here shapes how we work; we want you to help build our culture. We're looking for people who are:

  • Collaborators
    . You thrive in cross-disciplinary teams, share openly, and help others succeed.
  • Producers
    . You're comfortable getting things done; you have a bias towards action.
  • Genuine operators
    . You work with empathy and integrity; with clients, with colleagues, with communities. You care about clarity, practicality, and following through.
  • Brand builders
    . You're excited about growing with a new business, shaping not just client projects but Avian's reputation and practice.
