That's where you come in.

We're looking for a Senior Creative Designer + Animator to join our Brand and Creative team. You'll be at the heart of redefining Go City's visual identity - sharpening our design systems, injecting energy into how we show up in motion, and helping to build a more cohesive, creative, and collaborative design culture across teams.

You'll be hands on, strategic, and a natural collaborator - equally comfortable concepting a campaign, crafting world class animation, creating impactful edits from UGC or helping refine our brand guidelines so they truly sing across marketing & comms.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead the creative development of projects across brand, digital, social, and campaign channels - from concept to delivery.
• Elevate Go City's motion language: from playful transitions and scroll animations to full-blown brand films.
• Bring a unified, distinctive visual voice to everything we make - ensuring design and animation always reflect our brand spirit.
• Collaborate across marketing, product, and regional teams to deliver creative that connects globally and locally.
• Work with our Creative Director to evolve and systemise our design processes - improving workflows, consistency, and collaboration.
• Mentor and inspire our designers to think more boldly and visually.
• Stay curious - exploring new tools, trends, and techniques that keep Go City at the forefront of design and motion.

Skills, Knowledge and Expertise

• 6+ years' experience in brand, design, or creative environments - agency or in house.
