Graphic & Production Designer Full Time NEW

About the Role

Boardriders is looking for a Graphic & Production Designer to join our Graphic & Digital Design team, supporting the delivery of creative and production across our portfolio of action sports and lifestyle brands.

Boardriders is home to some of the most recognised brands in surf, skate and youth culture, including Billabong, Quiksilver, Roxy, RVCA, Volcom, DC Shoes, Element and VonZipper, alongside retail businesses including Surf Dive ‘n Ski and Amazon Surf. Working within a multi-brand environment, this role will help ensure each brand is represented consistently and to a high standard across its marketing and retail touchpoints.

The role combines print production management with hands-on graphic design, taking responsibility for the end-to-end production of printed marketing materials across the SPAC region while supporting the wider Graphic & Digital Design team across digital, social, retail and trade marketing.

You’ll work across multiple brands, projects and deadlines, coordinating suppliers and production while ensuring creative is delivered accurately, efficiently, on time and within budget.

Based at our Burleigh Heads HQ, you’ll join a collaborative creative and marketing environment with a genuine connection to the industries and communities our brands represent.

Key Responsibilities

Print & Production

• Manage end-to-end print production across Boardriders brands within the SPAC region.
• Plan and coordinate print projects from initial concept and artwork through to final production and delivery.
• Work closely with internal creative and marketing teams to understand project requirements, specifications and deadlines.
• Manage relationships with printers, production suppliers and other external partners.
• Source and evaluate supplier quotes, production options, materials and specifications.
• Schedule production and manage timelines to ensure projects are delivered when required.
• Prepare and review artwork for production, ensuring files meet required print and supplier specifications.
• Review proofs and oversee quality control throughout the production process.
• Manage production budgets and costs across projects.
• Coordinate delivery and distribution of printed marketing materials.
• Troubleshoot production issues and work with suppliers and internal teams to find practical solutions.
• Ensure all materials are delivered on time, within budget and to the required brand and production standards.

Graphic & Digital Design

• Support the Graphic & Digital Design team across creative projects for the Boardriders brand portfolio.
• Develop high-quality creative across digital, social, retail and trade marketing channels.
• Adapt campaign and brand creative into different formats, sizes and applications while maintaining the integrity of each brand’s visual identity.
• Create and prepare artwork for retail environments, point-of-sale materials, trade marketing and other physical brand touchpoints.
• Support the development of digital marketing assets as required.
• Work across multiple brands while understanding and maintaining the individual visual identity and creative standards of each.
• Collaborate with the wider Marketing and Creative teams to deliver consistent, engaging and commercially effective creative.

Skills & Experience

• Professional experience across graphic design and print production, ideally within a multi-brand, retail, fashion, lifestyle or action sports environment.
• Strong knowledge of end-to-end print production processes.
• Experience preparing artwork and files for commercial print and production.
• Strong Adobe Creative Cloud skills, particularly Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign.
• Strong understanding of typography, layout, image treatment and production-ready design.
• Experience designing across multiple channels including print, retail, digital and social.
• Excellent attention to detail and a strong understanding of quality control.
• Strong organisational and project management skills.
• Ability to manage multiple projects, brands, suppliers and deadlines simultaneously.
• Commercial awareness with the ability to manage production costs and budgets.
• Strong communication and supplier management skills.
• Collaborative approach with the ability to work effectively across Creative, Marketing and other internal teams.
• Creative mindset with the ability to bring fresh ideas while working within established brand guidelines.

About You

You’ll be someone who is equally comfortable designing an asset in Adobe Creative Cloud as you are speaking with a printer about stock, finishes, specifications, costs and deadlines.

You’re organised, detail-focused and understand that great creative doesn’t stop when the artwork is approved — how something is produced, finished and delivered matters just as much.

Most importantly, you’ll be comfortable moving between different brands, projects and channels while maintaining the individual identity and standards of each.

Why Boardriders?

You’ll join a global action sports and lifestyle business built around surf, skate, snow and the cultures surrounding them.

Based at our Burleigh Heads HQ, you’ll work alongside people who genuinely understand and participate in the communities behind our brands.

The culture comes with a genuine focus on work-life balance and plenty of perks, including:

• Up to 75% off Boardriders brands
• Campus-style HQ just five minutes from the beach
• Free lunchtime gym sessions
• Regular staff events
• Paid surf day

If you’re a designer who understands both the creative and production sides of the job and wants to work across some of the world’s most recognised action sports brands, we’d love to hear from you.
