BaseMEL is looking for a Mid-Weight Designer, a concept-led thinker who lives and breathes brand but can stretch into digital, motion and/or campaign work, then land it with craft and clarity.
As the newest Base, Melbourne is a tight-knit team of six (plus a circle of collaborators) working across arts & culture, beauty & fashion, architecture, tech, media, sport and hospitality. You’ll join us to conceptualise, create and run the day-to-day, contributing to a wide mix of projects and keeping the work sharp and on-track.
At Base Design, we not only accept diversity, we celebrate it. As an equal-opportunity employer, we actively seek a wide and wide-ranging pool of applicants. We select candidates based on individual qualifications, merit, and business needs. Because we know that the more inclusive we are, the better our work will be.
We’re hiring full-time. We run hybrid, with Tuesday–Thursday in-studio and optional WFH on Mondays and Fridays.
If the list of qualifications in this offer doesn't 100% apply to you, but you feel you have something extraordinary to add, please contact us and tell us why.

- Relentlessly pursue unique and original creative concepts that transcend design trends.

- 3+ years studio/agency experience.
