Melbourne City FC is looking for a talented and passionate Graphic Designer to join our dynamic Marketing and Communications team. This role is perfect for a creative all-rounder who thrives in a fast-paced environment and has a strong eye for detail, brand consistency, and visual storytelling.
As the Club’s Graphic Designer, you’ll be responsible for delivering high-quality creative across all touchpoints — from digital and print to motion and in-stadium environments. You’ll play a key role in driving fan engagement, supporting our commercial partners, and maintaining the bold and contemporary visual identity of Melbourne City FC.
Who are we?
Melbourne City FC is part of a global football business, City Football Group (CFG). We compete in Australia’s elite domestic football competition, the A-Leagues, with both men’s and women’s teams, National Premier League and youth leagues, the Australia Cup competition, and the Asian Football Confederation competitions, including the Asian Champions League Elite.
CFG currently consists of 13 football clubs, including Manchester City FC, and is one of the fastest-growing sporting organisations in the world.
Our Club supports flexibility; however, we have established parameters with onsite presence, as we believe in the benefits of working side by side. We have built our new state-of-the-art office at Casey Fields, which is very different from a traditional workspace. We’ve created a space that supports collaboration, with key activities ranging from individual work points to team neighbourhoods. We want our people to come to work feeling energised, building rapport, connectivity, and friendships, which ultimately drives performance towards something bigger than ourselves.
