The type of person we’re looking for; you’ll thrive in this role if you are:
Positive in your approach
Comfortable to go with the flow and shift priorities
Always happy to jump into any project, big or small
Known for your strong attention to detail
Able to work at pace and manage multiple projects at once
A confident multi-tasker who enjoys a fast-moving environment
About you
Qualification in Graphic Design, Product Design, Fashion Design or similar
1–3 years’ experience in a design-related role (retail, fashion, merchandise or product development preferred)
Strong proficiency in Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop
Understanding of production file setup and product development processes
Organised, proactive and commercially minded
About the role
Working closely with the Merchandise Designer and Merchandise Manager, you’ll support the development of retail products, uniforms and visual merchandising across our experiential tourism brands.
You’ll assist with:
Designing merchandise across categories such as giftware, drinkware, apparel, metal goods, leather goods and luggage

Refining designs through sampling and feedback
Supporting uniform design and photoshoot preparation
Assisting in creating and maintaining visual merchandising guidelines
Coordinating with suppliers and internal stakeholders
Keeping files organised with strong version control and attention to detail
What makes this position great!
Huge variety of design work – no two days are the same, and you’ll touch everything from concept through to finished product
Small team environment – you’ll be involved end-to-end, from initial ideas to seeing products land in-store
Very hands-on role – this isn’t just behind-the-screen design; you’ll be involved in production, sampling, photoshoots and VM execution
Creative freedom – contribute ideas, explore concepts and help shape ranges
Your voice matters – you’ll have a lot more say than in a traditional junior design role
Get to visit our amazing places! – occasional on-site visits and exposure to unique tourism destinations
How to Apply
You’ll be part of a creative, commercially driven team working on products that are sold in some of Australia’s most iconic locations. This is a hands-on role where your ideas turn into real products—and where you can genuinely grow your design skills across a wide range of categories.
