Graphic Designer

About the Role

We seek a creative Graphic Designer who thrives on resolving visual challenges, crafting original concepts, and producing memorable design work that stands out.

ASB has a rich 175-year history of supporting Kiwis to advance, establishing a brand renowned for creativity, innovation, and captivating storytelling connecting millions across New Zealand.

Guided by our core values of Care, Courage, and Curiosity, we continue to encourage novel thinking.

As part of ASB’s Content team, you will translate marketing strategies into compelling visual designs across campaigns, social media, editorial content, sponsorships, digital platforms, and internal projects. Engaging from early concept phases, you will help shape creative direction and produce captivating customer experiences.

This role extends beyond asset creation, offering the chance to develop visual concepts and cohesive design systems spanning multiple channels that embody the ASB brand with strategic intent and aesthetic excellence.

Rather than seeing brand guidelines as limits, you will leverage them to inspire innovative and distinctive designs.

From social campaigns and thought leadership initiatives to presentations, events, and emerging digital channels, your creations will effectively connect with audiences, elevate brand presence, and broaden our narrative reach.

You will continually seek ways to boost work quality, challenge traditional approaches, and contribute inventive ideas that differentiate ASB in a competitive landscape.

About You

You are an inquisitive designer passionate about problem-solving and crafting striking visuals. Beyond asking what an asset should look like, you focus on determining the best approach to communicate ideas.

Your portfolio showcases exceptional design across digital, social, and brand communications, with strong skills in typography, layout, composition, and storytelling.

You excel at developing multiple creative concepts before execution, translating strategic goals into engaging, customer-centric designs.

You are collaborative, adaptable, and confident contributing ideas across cross-functional teams, with the ability to manage several projects while maintaining high standards.

Your expertise includes creating design systems that ensure visual consistency across channels, attention to detail, and pride in polished craftsmanship.

Proficiency in Adobe Creative Cloud and preparing designs for digital and social media is essential. Experience within an agency, publishing environment, or corporate creative team is highly valued. Skills in motion graphics, illustration, photography, or AI-assisted workflows are advantageous but not mandatory.

Above all, you possess outstanding creative judgment, enjoy exploring multiple ideas, and aim to produce work that makes a lasting impression.
