Graphic & Multimedia Designer

New Zealand wine has a story worth telling - and we’re looking for a talented Graphic & Multimedia Designer (junior / intermediate level) to help tell it.

Join the in-house creative team at New Zealand Winegrowers (NZW) and work across a diverse range of projects, from brand and campaigns to events, publications, digital content and social media.

Graphic design is at the heart of the role. Working closely with our Creative Lead, you’ll create high-quality, engaging and on-brand communications across the organisation.

Photography, video and multimedia are also part of the creative mix. We’re looking for a strong graphic designer with great creative instincts, a good eye and a curiosity to develop new skills.

This is a permanent, full-time role based in Newmarket, Auckland, with workplace flexibility, Southern Cross Healthcare benefits, plus a day off for your birthday!

Everything we do is built around our core values:

• Integrity - Choosing to do the right thing (even when nobody's looking)
• Drive - Cultivating potential
• Respect - We're all about mutual respect
• Trust - Confidence in each other is the foundation of our success
• Unity - A well-balanced blend built on collaboration and communication

The role

No two briefs will be the same. You could be developing a campaign, supporting a photoshoot, designing an exhibition, creating social content, producing a publication or bringing a new initiative to life visually.

You’ll:

• Create engaging visual communications across print, digital, social, events, exhibitions and campaigns.
• Work with the Creative Lead and teams across NZW to develop effective creative solutions.
• Develop concepts, prototypes and visual assets from brief through to final delivery.
• Adapt creative across print, desktop, mobile, social and other digital formats.
• Contribute to photography, video, motion graphics and multimedia projects as your skills develop.
• Research design and visual communication trends and bring fresh ideas to the team.
• Provide creative support and guidance to internal teams.
• Manage multiple projects and deadlines while maintaining a high creative standard.
• Take ownership of projects and work independently when required.

What you’ll bring

We’re looking for an outstanding graphic designer with strong creative instincts, technical capability and a sophisticated eye for design.

You’ll bring:

• 2+ years’ graphic design experience and a relevant qualification.
• A high-quality portfolio demonstrating creative thinking and polished work across print and digital.
• Strong Adobe Creative Cloud skills, particularly Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign. Experience with Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects is an advantage, but not essential.
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills, along with a sense of humour.
• A solid understanding of typography, layout, colour, composition, visual hierarchy and brand consistency.
• Attention to detail and pride in producing polished work.
• The ability to interpret briefs, develop concepts and deliver projects from idea to completion.
• A proactive, solutions-focused approach and the ability to manage multiple deadlines.
• An interest in developing photography, video, editing, motion graphics or animation skills. Experience in these areas is an advantage, but not essential.
