About R/GA
R/GA is a creative innovation studio. We harness design and technology to create more valuable experiences for people and brands. We are a company of reinvention, we evolve as technology reshapes the world, and we help our clients do the same.
Our team is a mix of specialists working at the intersection of brand design, product and experience design, campaign and content design. We work hybridly both in the studio and online across Australia and APAC, bringing together the leading minds of our specialist crafts to solve any problem.
About The Role
This role is open to senior brand designers or design directors. At R/GA, your role is to design brands and experiences that move culture and improve people's lives. This is our ethos. We create brands that people talk about, share and influence popular culture. We improve people's lives by creating experiences that fuel positive impact in big or small ways. And we foster a culture that powers creative excellence.
Senior brand designers/Design Directors are motivated thinkers and makers, approaching projects with rational and innovative mindsets, looking for ways to fuse visual, verbal, and behavioral design into their creative explorations be it for a new brand concept or digital experience. They are comfortable unpacking a problem, unlearning old ways of working to upskill for the future, questioning the brief, leading by example, taking direction and pushing back. But they're equally comfortable making others feel comfortable: leading projects into uncharted creative territories without blinking—always mindful not just of how it looks, but how it works, especially when representing the work to clients.

* Is self-motivated with a positive attitude and strong communications skills

* Wellbeing and learning resources and budget to support your health and wellness

Our Values
Our purpose is to create a more human future. We lead by our six values:
* We're kind humans. We're not "resources", we're real people. We treat everyone with integrity and respect, and leave our egos in the elevator.
* We're outsiders. We go where others won't to uncover hidden opportunities. We challenge tradition and ignore the status quo. We don't care what everyone else is doing, only what we're doing next.
* We're better together. None of us are as good as all of us. Brilliant ideas can come from anywhere, but more often than not ours come from everyone. We thrive on our differences and actively collaborate across regions, time zones, and cultures.
* We're changemakers. We choose to embrace change. We don't just react to today; we act on tomorrow. We want to change the world (and we're not afraid of changing ourselves in the process).
* We're radical optimists. We're in love with the possibility, but never blind to the reality. We can tease out the potential in any problem, and once we find the silver lining, we'll get to work mining it.
* We're always learning. We stay relentlessly curious, forever looking for new ways of doing things. We know there's no such thing as perfection, and that's fine, because the journey is just as important as the destination.
