• Work collaboratively with internal project teams and designers during projects’ briefing, ideation/conceptualisation, feedback, development and finalisation process stages to ensure the design work meets the brief and objectives.
• Design the ‘look and feel’ of Indesign templates for reports, project sheets and tenders – responding to the client, brand or audience.
• Create presentations in PowerPoint and InDesign.
• Format, graphic edits and ‘zhoosh’ of Indesign reports – checking for layout, paragraph styles, alignment, links, automatic numbering and table of contents.
• Create plans and diagrams for projects.
• Assist the community engagement team with development and design of consultation boards and posters, worksheets, presentations, postcards, decals, Eventbrite banners and other collateral.
• Assist the Business Operations Manager in creating organisational marketing collateral and social media content.
