2D Designer – Brand & Digital

Full Time Creative – 2D / Brand
LinkedIn Life

Overview

Great ideas deserve great design!

We’re looking for a 2D Designer who loves creating memorable brand experiences that connect with people. An experienced 2D Designer who gets excited by the challenge of turning a creative thought into something people can see, touch, interact with and remember.

You’ll work across a diverse mix of global and local brands, helping shape visual identities and creative campaigns that live across physical environments, digital platforms, content, presentations, events and everything in between. No two days are the same, and that’s exactly how we like it.

As our 2D Designer, you’ll collaborate with talented creatives, strategists, producers and designers who believe curiosity, collaboration and bold thinking lead to the best work. While we aim to support a healthy work-life balance, there will occasionally be times during live events and production where flexibility outside standard working hours is needed.

If you’re a 2D Designer, naturally curious, enjoy solving creative challenges and love bringing ideas to life through thoughtful design, we’d love to hear from you.

We commit to not only significantly increasing our efforts to effect change today, but also to ensure that our efforts will be sustained for the long-term.

To support us on this journey we have appointed a Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Board to help shape our plans to bring about positive change, to help us learn and keep us all moving forward together.

We believe the responsibility for a diverse, equitable and inclusive workplace ultimately rests with all of us.

We believe that all employees should feel a sense of belonging at Imagination – regardless of their race, religion or belief, gender identity, age, sexual orientation, disability or background.

We believe racism has no place within our workplace or our work culture and we reject all forms of hatred, prejudice, intolerance and discrimination.

We believe that Black Lives Matter and it is our expectation that all employees become actively committed to making unbiased choices and are anti-racist in everything they do. Our Imagination community must share and live these beliefs, as diversity makes us stronger.

Our priority is humanity and our efforts towards a more diverse, more equitable and more inclusive workplace are never done.
