Job Opportunity: Design Studio Lead
Location: Melbourne (Office-based, with some flexibility)
Job Type: Full-Time
-lution is looking for a hands‐on Design Studio Lead.
This is a unique opportunity to sit at the centre of a fast‐paced, high‐volume design studio. You'll own the day‐to‐day operation of the studio while still contributing as a Senior Designer, managing workflow, coordinating an offshore team, and ensuring outputs across catalogue, packaging, digital, and sales assets are delivered at scale and to a consistent standard.
If you love structure as much as craft and can lead a studio while still rolling up your sleeves, this role was built for you.
Day to day, you'll:
* Own the end‐to‐end studio workflow via Monday.com, triaging, planning, and allocating all incoming work
* Deliver complex design work across product, packaging, catalogue, and key marketing assets
* Review and approve all outputs before stakeholder delivery, maintaining quality and consistency
* Coordinate and direct a design team, providing clear briefs, templates, and feedback
* Own and optimise the AI‐enabled creative workflow system, including templating and automated production tools
* Support cross‐functional planning with the marketing team to align creative requirements with delivery capability
* Act as the primary point of contact between client stakeholders and the studio
* Maintain data integrity across creative production, product content, and marketing asset workflows.
Your toolkit:
* Strong design background with end‐to‐end retail production experience (product, packaging, catalogue, and multi‐channel delivery)
* Advanced Adobe InDesign skills; experience with data‐driven or automated design production tools a plus
* Proven experience coordinating distributed design teams in high‐volume environments
* Strong workflow and traffic management capability using tools such as Click Up, Airtable or Monday.com
* Hands‐on experience with AI‐enabled creative platforms and agentic workflows, with the ability to embed these into production processes
* Ability to manage multiple concurrent workstreams in fast‐paced, complex environments
* Strong cross‐functional collaboration skills across marketing, merchandising, product, and digital teams
* High attention to detail, with a focus on data integrity, production accuracy, and scalable output delivery
