Melbourne, Australia AKQA Full time

First and foremost, at AKQA you will be employed as a creative thinker. Your craft will be Art Direction.
As a member of the creative team, you will constantly bring your perspective to create and build on ideas and produce outstanding work. You will be a champion of ideas and rally behind their author no matter where they appear. Your experience will see you seeking out ways to change behaviour, challenge the use of media and push for a new shape of idea - bringing it to life in ways that get people talking. You relish the responsibility to sell the best ideas we offer and will be called on to be a part of creative presentations and build a rapport with clients that leads to better work.

You are a confident, directional, conceptual visual thinker with a sense of contemporary visual culture. You have a developed, proven capacity to visualise your thinking to communicate it internally and to clients, and a high level of confidence working with partners and specialists (directors, photographers etc.) to craft the ultimate visual output.

Your ambition is to constantly challenge norms, think beyond expectations and produce outstanding creative work.

But you also want to have fun along the way, because the best work is joyful, and positivity is the most powerful thing we can bring to our job as creatives.

At AKQA, you'll work in an innovative and inclusive culture surrounded by some of the brightest minds in their fields. You'll also have the opportunity to learn and grow within a creative and technically advanced team, and have access to ongoing personal and professional development.
