Thrive is a leading independent public relations and content agency in Australia and New Zealand, with a dynamic inhouse social and production team, looking for our next full time (or contract) team member who can help the agency take our clients to the next level. We work with some of the globe and Australia’s leading brands including MG, Michelin, LEGO and Diageo delivering some of the most talked about campaigns you see in the region. Clients trust us with their reputations, allow us to ideate, deliver creative cool sh!*t and want us to bring their stories to life in new and different ways. This junior creative design role is critical to that.
ROLE SUMMARY
We’re on the hunt for a Creative Designer who lives and breathes social and culture — especially reels, edits, and the fast-moving world of digital creativity. If you’ve got a sharp eye, nimble hands, and bold ambition, this is your chance to break out of just being a ‘graphic designer’ and level up in a team where your ideas can actually take flight.
At Thrive , we don’t want a pixel pusher — we want a creative thinker who’s hungry to prove themselves, evolve fast, and help us push content into new territory. You’ll be designing for some of the most exciting local and global brands, with plenty of room to grow and make your mark.
You will be part of a culture where our people and wellbeing are front and center. Where collaboration not competitiveness is part of our DNA. Where diversity equals belonging.
Where you are limited by nothing.
We’re Looking For:
- Someone who is plugged into social trends , understands how content performs on platforms like Instagram and TikTok, and knows how to craft scroll-stopping creative — especially video.
- A designer with strong graphic design skills , but also someone who’s hands-on with editing social-first video content and brings smart, fresh creative ideas to the table.
- Someone comfortable with filming content on phones and GoPros — you know how to shoot snappy, engaging social clips that feel native to the platform.
- A slide design weapon — fast, stylish, efficient. You’ll work heavily in decks and presentation builds, so we want someone who knows how to template and streamline the process.
- A creative who wants to be more than just a designer — someone ready to grow into a sharp, well-rounded storyteller who can concept, experiment, and challenge the norm - and who wants to contribute to massive global brand new business opportunities
- A personality who can positively contribute to Thrive’s culture and future
Most importantly, the successful candidate for this role will align with Thrive's values … meaning you’re accountable (you do what you say you’ll do, on time), passionate (showing next level energy to get the job done), unapologetically curious (well…the future belongs to those creative people), and have a high level of integrity (show us you care and want to be part of something special).
Sound good? Here’s where you come in.
About You:
- Have 6mths–1 year full-time experience or recently graduated
- Can edit short-form video content for Reels/TikTok with ease
- Are confident in Adobe Suite (Premiere Pro, Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign – bonus for After Effects)
- Can shoot snappy, engaging social content using a phone
- Think strategically about content, not just how it looks but how it performs
- Are passionate about social media and always ahead of the next trend
- Have a strong work ethic, great energy, and a desire to learn and grow fast
- Are curious, collaborative, and thrive in a no-ego, high-ambition culture
- Have an interest in PR and storytelling beyond just visuals
- Are a self-taught YouTube wizard — you learn fast, solve problems through tutorials, and never let a tool or technique hold you back
