The purpose of the role

This role leads the delivery of content marketing across 3–5+ ongoing clients, owning the process from content direction through to final delivery.

You’ll take responsibility for client communication, approvals, timelines and quality, ensuring content consistently reflects each client’s brand, positioning and audience.

The role combines strong writing and content judgement with the ability to confidently shift tone of voice between clients — responding to different audiences, contexts and business needs.

What you’ll be responsible for

Content leadership + delivery

• Lead content marketing delivery across a mix of established practices and smaller studios

• Write, edit and refine short-form content for Instagram and LinkedIn, with a strong grasp of clarity, pacing and audience relevance

• Create longer-form content where required, including articles, campaign-style narratives and email newsletters

• Translate client conversations, project information and broader insights into clear, brand-aligned content

• Create on-brand assets using Canva, working confidently across different visual styles

• Edit short-form video content for social platforms (primarily Instagram and LinkedIn), including reels and simple narrative-led videos

• Shape video content so it feels considered, well-paced and aligned with each client’s positioning

Tone of voice + copywriting

• Adapt tone of voice confidently across different clients and audiences

• Balance concise, effective short-form copy with more developed written pieces

• Ensure content feels human, relevant and purposeful — never generic or templated

Client ownership

• Manage client communication, approvals and timelines with clarity and professionalism

• Bring structure to the content process so clients feel supported and confident

• Guide clients through content decisions while keeping delivery moving

• Bring ideas and suggestions to the table that help clients see new possibilities for their marketing

Collaboration + coordination

• Liaise with photographers and videographers to support ongoing content needs

• Work with image and video assets supplied by clients or collaborators, adapting content for platform-specific use

• Brief and coordinate contributors where required, ensuring outputs align with content direction

Quality + systems

• Maintain quality control across all content (tone, clarity, formatting, proofing and presentation)

• Review and QA content produced by other team members where required

• Contribute to improving internal workflows and systems as the agency grows

As needed

• Minor website content updates where required (not a core focus of the role)

In this role, success looks like:

• Content delivery is well run, reliable and organised, with clear ownership of timelines, quality and follow-through

• Clients experience Markedly as thoughtful, capable and easy to work with

• Content consistently supports each client’s brand, positioning and commercial goals

• You bring ideas to the table — spotting opportunities, suggesting new angles, and helping clients feel confident and excited about their marketing

• Clients feel engaged in the process and supported in making decisions, rather than overwhelmed

• The overall quality, consistency and confidence of our content continues to lift as the agency grows

Must-have experience and skills

• Strong writing and editing skills across short- and longer-form content

• High attention to detail and visual presentation

• Confidence adapting tone of voice across different brands and audiences

• Experience editing short-form video for social media

• Good judgement around pacing, sequencing and visual storytelling

Our ideal candidate

You’re creative, but practical. You enjoy shaping ideas and writing content, while also bringing structure and follow-through to the work.

You’ll thrive in this role if you:

• Love content marketing and understand its commercial role

• Are comfortable balancing creative thinking with delivery

• Communicate clearly and calmly

• Enjoy contributing to a growing business

Working at Markedly

We’re a small team working closely with architects and designers we genuinely care about. We help bridge the gap between the design world and the people our clients are trying to reach.

We take ownership of our work and prefer doing fewer things well. We ask good questions, work collaboratively, and enjoy the work we do together.

Practical details

Location: Brisbane (in-person team)

Role type: Permanent

Working days: Full-time or 4 days for the right person

Remuneration: Based on experience

We’re looking for a Senior Graphic Designer to play a key role in the next phase of Markedly’s growth. As we continue to build a more integrated offering, this role supports how strategy, content and brand come together in clear, well-considered design outcomes for our clients.

This is a senior, client-facing role for someone who wants to take ownership. You’ll work closely with the Director to help build and refine Markedly’s in-house graphic design capability, contributing to the development of services, processes and ways of working that support both creative quality and commercial sustainability.

You’ll lead design projects end-to-end, with a clear pathway to step into a Graphic Design Lead role as the design arm grows.

Key responsibilities

Design + delivery

• Lead the design and rollout of brand identities and visual systems for architecture and design-led clients

• Develop branded social media foundations, including templates and graphic systems that support consistency over time

• Design branded documents such as proposals, reports, capability statements and presentations

• Lead website design projects across a range of scopes — from full website design from scratch through to the strategic evolution and refinement of existing sites, depending on client needs

• Assess existing websites and recommend the most appropriate design response, whether that’s a full rebuild, structural refinement, content reorganisation or visual uplift

• Design campaign assets primarily for digital channels

Website design + delivery

• Provide design direction for website projects, ensuring alignment with strategy, content and brand

• Support Squarespace or Wix builds where appropriate and within skillset

• Work with external developers where required, maintaining design oversight and quality control

Client-facing leadership

• Lead client design presentations independently (or co-present initially where appropriate)

• Manage design projects from briefing through to delivery and refinement

• Navigate client feedback with confidence, ensuring outcomes align with agreed strategy and scope

Design capability + business development

• Work closely with the Director to develop and refine Markedly’s graphic design offering, including service packages, scopes and delivery processes

• Contribute to shaping how graphic design integrates with Markedly’s broader strategy, content and digital services

• Help establish clear, repeatable design workflows that support quality, efficiency and profitability

• Play an active role in laying the foundations for the future growth of the graphic design arm, including systems that can scale as the team expands

Commercial awareness

• Work confidently within defined scopes, timelines and budgets

• Balance creative ambition with efficiency and commercial outcomes

• Recommend design solutions that are proportionate to the brief, recognising when evolution and refinement may deliver greater value than a full rebuild

• Understand that strong design must be both well-considered and commercially viable

Collaboration + process

• Collaborate closely with the Director and Content Marketing Managers to ensure alignment between strategy, content and visual execution

• Maintain clear file management and documentation using Dropbox and internal systems

• Uphold the tone, pace, standards and communication norms outlined in the Markedly Agency Playbook

What we’re looking for

Experience

• Senior-level graphic designer with experience across branding, digital and visual systems

• Background in architecture, interiors or design-led brands (or agencies working in these sectors)

• Agency experience strongly preferred

• Confident leading client conversations and presenting design work

Skills

• Advanced skills in Adobe InDesign, Photoshop and Illustrator

• Experience designing for websites and digital platforms

• Figma experience required

• Canva experience required

• Squarespace or Wix build experience is a bonus, not essential

• Video editing experience is a bonus, not essential

How you work

• Self-directed and comfortable taking ownership

• Calm, thoughtful and adaptable in a fast-moving environment

• Detail-oriented without losing sight of the bigger picture

• Curious, collaborative and invested in building something long-term

This role will not suit someone who…

• Is looking primarily for flexibility without accountability

• Prefers task-by-task execution over owning outcomes

• Needs close day-to-day direction to maintain momentum

• Is uncomfortable working directly with clients or managing feedback

• Is not interested in contributing to the growth and direction of a design offering beyond day-to-day client work

Why join Markedly?

• Be part of a growing, design-led agency with a clear point of view

• Shape and help grow Markedly’s in-house graphic design capability

• Work closely with thoughtful, values-driven clients

• Enjoy autonomy, trust and a clear pathway to future leadership

Practical details

• Location: Brisbane (in-person team)

• Timing: Hiring planned for Q1 2026

• Role type: Permanent

• Working days: Part-time 3 days per week with room to grow

• Remuneration: Based on experience — applicants are invited to indicate their expected salary range
