Digital Designer (Email & eCommerce)

Melbourne-based women’s footwear brand, habbot, is looking for a Digital Designer to join our small team in a permanent part-time role.

Working closely with our Founder / Director, Head of Marketing, eCommerce Coordinator and Marketing & Content Coordinator, you’ll bring our brand to life across email, eCommerce, campaigns and digital content.

Email will be a key focus of the role. You’ll design and build our eDMs, with the opportunity to progressively take ownership of the process end to end - from interpreting briefs and developing campaign structure and copy through to testing, scheduling and sending. You’ll have direction and support from the whole team as you build your skills and confidence in managing this important marketing channel. Alongside email, you’ll develop creative for brand campaigns, promotions, advertising, social media and our website.

We’re an independent premium footwear brand with a Melbourne-meets-Italian sensibility. Cookie-cutter isn’t in our vocabulary. We value distinctive design, considered details and a little creative irreverence. You'll do your best work here if that kind of creative freedom and offbeat expression suits you.

WHAT YOU’LL BE DOING

• Email design & campaign management: Design, build and schedule eDMs in Klaviyo, creating engaging layouts and imagery that bring our brand and products to life. Over time, you’ll work towards managing campaigns end to end: interpreting briefs, developing email structure and messaging, writing copy, building and testing campaigns, and coordinating sends, with hands-on guidance from the wider marketing team.
• Campaign creative: Develop the visual direction for brand campaigns and promotional activity, from initial concepts, colour palettes and creative guidelines through to final assets.
• eCommerce design: Create and update Shopify assets across collection pages, website banners, pop-ups, product pages and blogs, ensuring a cohesive and considered brand experience.
• Paid & organic social media creative: Design and adapt assets for paid ads and organic social, working alongside our Marketing & Content Coordinator to support both planned campaigns and reactive content opportunities.
• Creative adaptation: Crop, resize and rework photography and creative across formats and platforms.
• Creative collaboration: Join marketing brainstorms and agency meetings, bringing original ideas, contributing to creative direction and helping prioritise what gets developed and rolled out.
• Occasional print collateral: Create supporting assets such as store decals, packaging inserts and other physical brand materials as needed.

WHAT YOU’LL BRING

• Strong design skills: You’re a capable digital / social graphic designer. You can move quickly without compromising on quality, consistency or attention to detail. You can develop ideas and visual concepts, not just execute a brief. You have an eye for colour, typography, composition and imagery, and know how to translate our brand personality and photography into distinctive creative.
• Email & eCommerce experience: You understand how to design for online retail, balancing brand storytelling with clear product presentation, usability and conversion. Experience with Klaviyo highly regarded.
• An interest in email marketing: You’re interested in more than just the visual design of an email. You’re keen to develop your skills in email copywriting, campaign structure, testing and scheduling, and to take increasing ownership of the process from brief through to send. You don’t need to have mastered every element already, but you’re curious, capable and motivated to learn.
• A performance mindset: You’re interested in how marketing campaigns perform and in using insights to inform what to test, refine and develop next.
• Technical confidence: You’re comfortable working across Adobe Creative Suite and/or equivalent design tools. You’re comfortable quickly getting up to speed with platforms like Klaviyo, Shopify, Cuttable and Canva.
• A proactive approach: You’re organised, accountable and comfortable managing your own workload and deadlines. You can take ownership of projects, learn new skills and processes, and remain flexible and collaborative in a small, fast-moving team.

THE DETAILS

• Permanent, part-time, flexible position: 15–20 hours per week, generally across 3–4 days. We’re flexible on the exact arrangement for the right person. Work across consecutive days or spread your hours throughout the week, depending on what works for you and our team.
• Location: Ideally based in Melbourne, with the opportunity to work from our Collingwood studio in a hybrid arrangement. We’re also open to a fully remote candidate, including those based elsewhere in Australia or overseas.

Experience with fashion, footwear, accessories or lifestyle brands would be a bonus, but it’s not essential.
