Who we are | Ko wai mātou

Auckland University of Technology (AUT) is dynamic and vibrant with a hugely diverse body of students, staff and partners. We are a socially driven university with equity and excellence central to our purpose and actions. AUT has over 29,000 students and around 4,000 staff across our three Auckland teaching campuses.

As part of our commitment to accessible, high-quality education, AUT Online is growing its coordinated, integrated, and high-performing portfolio of online‑by‑design programmes and courses. This is a unique opportunity to play a key role in shaping AUT’s digital education future.

The AUT Online Graphic Design Lead provides design expertise and creative leadership across AUT Online’s marketing and course development functions.

This role produces visually compelling, on‑brand digital assets that support both marketing and student recruitment campaigns as well as the creation of engaging online learning experiences. Operating across two key workstreams, you will :

  • Design campaign visuals, advertising content, social media assets, and digital collateral for marketing and recruitment.
  • Develop UI / UX elements, illustrations, and multimedia graphics that enhance the accessibility and visual appeal of online courses in collaboration with the AUT Online Learning Designers and Technologists.
  • Guide design direction and quality assurance, ensuring creative consistency across AUT Online’s digital platforms.
  • You’ll play a pivotal role in connecting AUT’s brand and student experience from first engagement through to graduation, helping to build a cohesive and distinctive visual identity for AUT Online.

    You will bring :

  • 5+ years’ experience in professional graphic or digital design, including at least 2 years in a leadership or project coordination capacity.
  • Advanced expertise in Adobe Creative Cloud (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Dreamweaver).
  • Strong understanding of UI / UX, accessibility, and digital production principles.
  • Experience delivering creative outputs across multiple channels and stakeholder groups.
  • Commitment to te ao Māori and Te Tiriti o Waitangi, and contributing to an inclusive, values‑led design practice.
  • Experience in video, photography, 3D rendering, or learning design software (e.g., Articulate 360, H5P) is advantageous.
  • Culture | Ahurea

    Here at AUT we are more of a community and there is real purpose and meaning underpinning what we do. You will be part of building a committed and driven AUT Online team to deliver results for our students.

    Be a part of an organisation with engaging work, a supportive team, and a purpose‑driven environment that fosters personal and professional growth.

  • Professional development and free study
  • Generous leave allowances
  • Flexible and hybrid working options
  • Salary Range : $90k - $110k (appointment level and salary commensurate with skills and experience)

    Ref : 93862

    Please note : Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis, as we aim to make the appointments before the end of the year. The successful candidates will commence in early 2026.
