Position Type: Full-time

Location: Philippines (Remote)

Schedule: Monday-Friday, 9:30 AM - 5:30 PM AEST

Contract Type: Temporary 3-month contract, with the possibility of becoming an ongoing role for the right candidate.

About The Company

Our client is an AU-based global toy company dedicated to inspiring, encouraging, and exciting kids of all ages around the world. With a growing portfolio of owned brands and global licensing programs, they design and deliver innovative products that bring fun to children and partners across 54+ countries.

Headquartered in Melbourne, Australia, with offices in Shanghai and Hong Kong, and sales teams across the US and Europe, the company is fast becoming known as a creative hub in the toy industry. Their culture is built on curiosity, courage, creativity, and inclusion, encouraging every team member to learn, grow, and bring fresh ideas to life.

About The Role

This is a senior, production-focused design role. The designer will serve as the graphic designer on a project that moves quickly, has real deadlines, and delivers files directly to factories and buyers.

Their work will appear on shelves in the US market, where they will be responsible for receiving a brand style guide from the client and rolling it out consistently and accurately across all required formats, from retail packaging through to product-level color and graphic specs.

The ultimate goal for this role is to execute at the highest level, interpret a brief without excessive guidance, and deliver factory-ready work that is correct the first time.

Responsibilities

Retail Packaging

• Build and manage dielines across a full range of retail packaging formats: closed boxes, window boxes, belly bands and hang tags packaging
• Roll out the client's brand style guide across all packaging formats, adapting layouts and compositions to suit each product type while maintaining total brand consistency
• Apply typography, colour hierarchy, and graphic elements with precision in line with supplied brand guidelines
• Set up PDQ display unit packaging to retailer-specified size and structural constraints
• Produce internal packaging graphic applications (inserts, trays, internal supports) in collaboration with the project lead and supplier input
• Prepare all packaging files to a print production standard: correct bleed, overprint settings, accurate Pantone and CMYK colour profiles, and consistent colour output across the full range
• Deliver finished art files that are factory-ready with no ambiguity for print or production

Brand and Visual Rollout

• Interpret and extend the client style guide into packaging formats and product categories not explicitly detailed, applying confident graphic design judgement to maintain brand integrity throughout
• Adapt product visuals and colour directions to reflect the confirmed brand direction across a range of preschool toy categories
• Specify Pantone colours across both product and packaging to ensure consistency from design through to factory output

Supporting Materials

• Design and format instruction manuals and parent guides as required, incorporating text layout, illustration, and photography
• Create product illustrations to support instructional content where needed
• Apply appropriate font sizing, typographic hierarchy, and layout conventions for a US retail consumer audience
• Illustration capability to support product and content development as needed, working within the style and visual language of the supplied brand guide rather than developing an independent creative direction
• Ability to apply illustration, graphics, and colour to physical product components where required, ensuring consistency with the broader range aesthetic
• Support with illustrated content across supplementary product elements such as activity sheets, printed cards, background scenes, and similar range components, with the nature and scope of this work determined by project needs as they arise

• Proficiency in Adobe Illustrator as the primary working tool, with solid working knowledge across the broader Adobe Suite including Photoshop and InDesign
