Graphic Design Assistant

The Opportunity

Ready to launch your graphic design career with a supportive and creative team that lives and breathes sport, fashion and culture? We’re on the lookout for a motivated and creative Graphic Design Assistant to help bring iconic leagues like the NBA, NFL, MLB and AFL (to name a few) to life from the stadium to the streets.

This is your chance to step into the world of licensed sportswear, learn from an experienced crew of designers, and create work that fans actually wear.

Your New Role

As our Graphic Design Assistant, you’ll be a key support for our graphics team, helping to bring seasonal collections to life across some of the biggest global sporting brands. From managing CAD libraries and sample organisation to creating spec packs and supporting on artwork creation, you’ll be hands-on from day one, building your skills and learning the ropes of apparel design in a fast-paced commercial setting.

Day-to-day you’ll be:

• Supporting the design team with tasks throughout the season
• Creating graphic specification packs aligned to critical path timelines
• Managing centralised CAD libraries and development samples
• Assisting with technical packs and portal uploads for league approvals
• Supporting with timely and accurate delivery of graphic artwork to QA
• Ensuring all art created meets copyright/IP requirements
• Tracking your development progress and supporting milestone deadlines
• Completing monthly graphic market sweep documents
• Staying up to date on competitor activity and design trends
• Jumping in on ad hoc design tasks as needed

You’ll thrive in this role if you are:

• A recent graduate or early career designer with a tertiary qualification in graphic or textile design
• Confident with Adobe Creative Suite, especially Illustrator and Photoshop
• Someone with a folio that shows commercial flair and an eye for trend-led graphic design (ideally with some apparel but not essential)
• Organised, detail-oriented and able to juggle tasks in a fast-paced environment
• A clear communicator and team player who takes feedback and runs with it
• Naturally curious and keen to learn the ins and outs of licensed product design
• Excited by sports, streetwear and the crossover between fand and fashion (not essential)
• Resilient, adaptable and ready to grow
