Looking for Philippines-based candidates
Job Role: Graphic Designer
Compensation range: $1,800 AUD - $2,000 AUD / Monthly
Engagement type: Independent Contractor Agreement
Work Schedule: This role is expected to align with the AU business hours (approx. 9 AM - 5 PM, Monday to Friday) for collaboration, but as a contractor, you’ll have flexibility in how you manage your time.
Who We Are: At Hunt St, we help Australian companies hire top remote talent in the Philippines. For this role, you will be engaged directly by the client as an independent contractor. We are not an outsourcing agency. All of our roles are 100% remote so you'll be able to work from home.
Who The Client Is: The client is a Canberra-based strategic brand and digital studio working with business owners and organizations who want to be clearly positioned for sustainable growth. Based in Canberra, they help clarify direction, shape strong foundations and support visibility through thoughtful strategy and execution.
They are helping shape environments - brands, teams, systems and experiences.
Across our clients we consistently focus on:
- The full end-to-end brand experience
- How people feel before, during and after engaging with your business or practice
- Consistency, clarity and care rather than hype or scale-for-scale’s-sake
Role Overview: This is a hands-on design and production role for a strong mid-to-senior designer who can take strategic and creative direction and turn it into polished, practical design across brand identity, digital, print and web.
Working closely with the Studio Director, you’ll translate brand strategy and creative direction into considered visual identities and carry those identities through to high-quality execution across multiple formats.
You will not be expected to develop brand strategy independently, but you will be expected to interpret a brief intelligently, make sound design decisions, identify inconsistencies or production issues, and deliver work without needing every detail art-directed.
The right person will be equally comfortable developing a visual identity in Adobe Illustrator, preparing packaging or collateral correctly for commercial print, building client-ready templates in Canva, adapting assets for social and digital use, and working within practical website constraints.
This is a role for someone who can take ownership of design production and significantly reduce the amount of day-to-day design management required from the Studio Director.

Digital & Cross-Format Rollout
