Design & Studio Lead

Hey there! Thanks for stopping by. We’re Airtasker, the tech company that connects people who need to get things done with those who have the skills to do it.
Our mission is to empower people to realise the full value of their skills. This doesn’t just apply to those who use our product. It’s also for our whooooooole team of go-getters who bring the product to life and deliver impact to our community on a daily basis. Because we believe work (and life) is always better when you truly know and appreciate your strengths and skills.
The Design & Studio Lead heads up Airtasker’s internal creative studio. It’s a hands-on leadership role for a seasoned creative with a strong design background, a sharp eye for detail, and the operational smarts to drive both creative excellence and efficient ways of working.

Leading a talented designer/ illustrator/ animator and a writer/ creative content manager, you’ll report to (and collaborate closely with) our Brand Marketing Lead to deliver high-impact creative across all of Airtasker’s brand touchpoints. With a unique blend of workflow know-how and deep channel expertise, you’ll ensure our creative is bold, on-brand, fit-for-purpose and connects with our audiences.

You’ll be responsible for shaping the evolution of Airtasker’s visual identity and brand guidelines, while also rolling up your sleeves to produce standout design work across key campaigns, product launches and brand moments - both internal and external facing.
