About this role
Join one of Australia and New Zealand’s most customer centric retail groups - Accent Group. With a portfolio of over 900 stores, 34 iconic brands (including HOKA, Skechers, Dr. Martens, Platypus, Hype DC, Stylerunner, Nude Lucy, The Athletes Foot, Sports Direct, Glue Store and Vans), and 30+ online platforms, we’re not just selling shoes - we’re shaping the future of retail. At Accent Group, we’re driven by innovation, passionate about people, and serious about creating standout career opportunities. Whether you’re starting your retail journey or looking to grow into leadership, you’ll be part of a culture that values individuality, rewards performance, and empowers you to make your mark (in your kicks of course!)
We’re in an exciting phase of rapid expansion, with new stores opening across the country as we grow our footprint in partnership with Frasers Group. As we scale, bold, high-energy visual storytelling is critical to bringing our product, brands, and marketing to life across every digital and physical touchpoint.
We’re looking for a Graphic & Motion Designer to be the creative engine behind our local brand presence.
Reporting to the Marketing Manager, you’ll architect our Australian graphic and motion identity translating global/UK creative into commercially powerful, locally relevant campaigns that stay true to the unmistakable “Sport Starts Here” aesthetic.
This is a hybrid creative and technical role. You’ll be office-based developing high-impact motion graphics and campaign assets, while also supporting local shoots and activations to ensure every piece of content delivers an unrivalled brand experience.
• What You’ll Be Doing
Content Creation & Motion Design
• Lead the creation of high-impact motion graphics and video content for social, digital displays, and online campaigns
• Produce multi-branded campaign assets that balance Sports Direct energy with global partner aesthetics
• Support content shoots to ensure fast-turnaround, edit-ready footage
Brand Partnership & Asset Management
• Adapt and localise global creative assets for the Australian retail calendar
• Align partner brand zones and digital presence to both global standards and local commercial needs
• Maintain a best-in-class library of localised marketing assets
Template Development & Design Standards
• Define and document the “Sports Direct Design Standard” for Australia
• Build scalable templates for key retail moments (Back to School, Black Friday, seasonal campaigns)
• Collaborate with VM to align in-store digital signage and POS with online creative
Collaboration & Influence
• Act as the creative link between Marketing and Retail
• Present and influence internal stakeholders with compelling concepts
• Continuously refine assets based on feedback and performance insights
• What We’re Looking For
• 2–4 years’ experience in Graphic & Motion Design (retail or agency preferred)
• A strong portfolio showcasing video editing and animation
• Expert proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite (After Effects, Premiere Pro, Photoshop, Illustrator)
• Canva experience highly desirable
• Strong commercial instinct — you understand that great creative drives sales
• Resilient, agile, and confident working to fast-paced retail timelines
• A proactive, “make it happen” mindset
• Why Join Us?
• Be part of a major retail growth story in Australia
• Shape the visual identity of a globally recognised sports retailer locally
• Work across exciting multi-brand campaigns
• Influence how sport-inspired retail comes to life across digital and in-store
If you’re a commercially savvy creative who thrives in high-energy retail environments and wants to see your work come to life at scale we’d love to hear from you.
