About Future Super

At Future Super, we’re making money moves and changing the way super is done. By giving people a chance to invest their life savings in companies that don’t harm the planet, we’re showing the power super has to change the world! 

We are looking for someone to join our mission focused high-growth scaleup to steward Future Super’s design and creative expression. Our senior designer is the custodian of our visual identity. But this isn’t just a design job: you’ll play a pivotal role in how we bring our ambition to life through our brand. Your north star: creating work people can’t help but talk about.

And you’ll get to work with some fantastic work mates. People who build apps in their spare time, have started clothing companies, can recite Aaron Sorkin’s life’s work, and who can read your star chart.

We strongly encourage applications from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, people with disability, people from diverse cultural and linguistic backgrounds, mature age workers, people with caring responsibilities and lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex, asexual (LGBTQIA+) people. Seriously, the problems we face are complex and the more diversity of experiences we can bring to the table, the better our solutions become.

You’ll love this job if:

• You find superannuation opaque and frustrating, if you had the chance to revolutionise the industry to be better for people, you would 

• The idea of shaping a member experience that thousands of people will touch excites you

• Getting to rumble on cool ideas with product designers, illustrators, motion designers and investment analysts sounds like your jam

• You want to learn more about strategy and potentially build a team
  

We’re looking for someone who:

• Believes in Future Super’s mission and has a passion for moving Australia’s money out of fossil-fuels and into renewable energy 

• Has 4-6 years brand design experience

• Believes design can change the world

• Is willing to experiment, try new tools, formats and experiences

• Is highly proficient in digital design tools including Adobe Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign), Figma
  

It would be great if you also had:

• Video editing and motion graphics experience

• Experience working with language led design systems

• Experience building brands for communities, reflecting elements from the community in the visual identity
  

As the Senior Designer you will:

• Bring the brand strategy to life in creative expression in campaigns, ads, landing pages, member communications and internal staff merch and communication

• Champion the visual expression of the brand in engaging ways, so that key stakeholders using our design system are operating off the same principles

• Seek and listen to feedback from members, sit in on focus groups and interviews, and use insights from listening to members to shape the visual identity

• Lead design retrospectives and help others in the business identify inconsistencies and opportunities in our visual identity to be more impactful

Don’t tick all the boxes? That’s okay, we like thinking outside the box. We value skills, passion and who you are over what you’ve done or where you’ve studied. So if this job resonates with you, we want to hear from you!

Why would you enjoy working at Future Super?

• A purpose-driven organisation, spending your days working on making this world a better place! The more we grow, the bigger the impact we are making on climate change and inequality

• A proud B Corp organisation that cares about how it behaves inside and out

• Heaps of flexibility to fit work into your life (not your life around our work) and the opportunity to work with your manager to define what that looks like for you now and in the future

• AFR’s Best Place to Work 2022 for the banking, superannuation and financial services sector 

• The choice to work from home, from one of our co-working spaces, from anywhere within Australia or even from overseas (for a short period of time)

• Team lunches and company-wide events

• Progressive, people-focused policies and benefits including Menstrual and Menopausal Leave, Mental Health Leave and Gender Affirmation Guidelines and Leave (you can check them out here)

• We offer employee network groups for people from diverse backgrounds: SuperGenders for cisgender women, trans men and women and  non-binary folks; SuperGlobal for culturally diverse folks; and SuperPride for LGBTQIA+ folks. The groups are a safe, supportive space for people to share experiences and ideas  

• 14 weeks’ paid parental leave for all genders and a generous parental superannuation package, Employee Assistance Program (EAP), formal training and development with continuous improvement opportunities, and membership to Bicycle NSW (or your State or Territory’s equivalent) as part of our sustainable transport policy

• Future Super is an equal opportunity employer – we provide flexible working hours, the option to work from home and a laptop you can use to work remotely (this used to be a more differentiating dot-point, but it’s still true!)

Applying for a job at Future Super

The application will require answering short questions so give yourself time to complete it. We really want you to work for us, not AI, so please make sure your answers are your own. Once started, you can save and return to your application before submitting.

We use Applied as our de-identified recruitment platform, helping us reduce the risk of unconscious bias in our hiring process. If you are curious to know more about how it works, check out this blog post.

You’ll hear from us about a week or two after the closing date. If your application is successful, you’ll be invited to a 20 minute phone chat with someone from our People and Culture team. If your application missed out this time, we won’t ghost you, we’ll let you know and we’ll provide you with some feedback.

Following the good old telephone call, should your application be successful again, you will be invited to a couple of interviews by Zoom.
