Company Description

Are you ready to be a big part of something big? 

At carsales, we're all about making buying and selling a great experience. For 25 years we’ve been evolving with the new economy to help people choose how they move today and tomorrow. 

When it comes to your career, we want to provide big opportunities to help you make a big impact. But for this to be possible, we strive to feel small. Small enough to quickly change tack, small enough to learn from different departments and small enough to connect authentically with leadership. 

The Marketing team come together to create the stories and campaigns that inspire and educate as well as provide strategic, innovative and cost-effective solutions for our customers. They’re a nimble and collaborative team that offers the full suite of services that you’d find in a digital design agency. 

Not something you’d expect from one of the country’s biggest tech companies, is it? 

And one of the best parts? We give you the autonomy to choose the working location that best suits your lifestyle – Office, Hybrid or Anywhere. 

What’s on offer: 

  • A place where you can move your career forward, where you’ll be continuously backed to make new ideas happen, and the chance to do work that makes real, significant impact in the world. 
  • We’re proud to be recognised as one of Australia’s Best Workplaces™ by Great Place to Work®, a Family Friendly Workplace, a WORK180 endorsed employer for women and WGEA Employer of Choice for Gender Equality.
  • The support of a highly engaged, high-performing team including a leadership team that’s you’ll actually have face time with. 
  • 22 weeks paid parental leave for primary caregivers, four weeks paid secondary caregivers leave, six weeks paid gender affirming care leave.

Job Description

What you’ll do: 

This is your opportunity to join us, as the talented and visionary Art Director, as part of our creative team at carsales. You will be responsible for developing and executing compelling campaigns, from Key Visuals (KV) to storyboards and scripts for films and creating content across all types of media and channels—both online and offline.

  • Campaign Creation: Develop and execute creative concepts for campaigns, including Key Visuals, storyboards, scripts, and content for various media channels.
  • Branding: Collaborate on the development of brand identities, ensuring consistency and innovation in the visual representation of the brand.
  • Visual Storytelling: Craft visually engaging and impactful narratives that resonate with our target audiences.
  • Cross-Media Expertise: Design for a variety of platforms, including digital, print, social media, and broadcast, ensuring cohesive messaging across all channels.
  • Team Collaboration: Work closely with other members of the creative team, including copywriters, designers, and marketing professionals, to bring ideas to life.
  • Market Trends & Innovation: Stay updated on the latest trends and innovations in the industry, leveraging AI tools to enhance creative output.

Qualifications

What are we looking for? 

The ideal candidate will have a strong background in creative skills, with a keen eye for aesthetics and visual storytelling.

  • Proven experience as an Art Director or in a similar creative role.
  • Strong portfolio showcasing a range of creative work, including campaigns, branding, and cross-media projects.
  • Excellent understanding of visual aesthetics, with the ability to translate ideas into impactful visual solutions.
  • Experience with campaign development, including Key Visuals, storyboards, and scripts for films.
  • Proficient in both online and offline media, with a strong understanding of how to design for different platforms.
