Lower Hutt, Wellington, New Zealand Open Polytechnic of New Zealand Full time

Mō te tūnga | About the role

The Digital Experience (DX) team are seeking a Digital Designer based in the Wellington region to join us on a permanent basis and build upon our graphic design capability and interactive framework coding and development skillsets.

The DX team produces digital media primarily for Open Polytechnic online courses, plus commercial partners and a range of other internal departments. There are always a variety of projects and initiatives in development with associated digital media requests coming our way.

This role is a hybrid of graphic designer and web developer, requiring strengths and experience in both visual communications and coding. You will be specifically responsible for producing a range of graphic design and interactive framework solutions that contribute to the overall success of our ākonga and users of our online courseware. You will work across all phases of design and build through to delivery, operating both independently and in collaboration with other DX team members and contractors. Noting this role is unsuitable for recent design school graduates.

This is a role with plenty of face-to-face interaction. You will be based on campus in Lower Hutt for some of your working week, while also having the hybrid flexibility to work from home and connect digitally with our team and kaimahi.

Our ideal candidate will be able to:

  1. Come prepared as a motivated self-starter who enjoys engaging with a wide variety of people.
  2. Apply a problem-solving mindset when defining digital media concepts and developing solutions.
  3. Produce engaging, informative graphic design and interactive solutions to professional standards for online ākonga and users.
  4. Apply a flexible and hands-on approach to all aspects of asset planning, development, review/refinement and delivery.
  5. Continually improve design and coding knowledge and skills to align with evolving digital technologies.
  6. Take a careful and methodical approach to discover, define, design and deliver solutions.
  7. Research and advise on new media developments that could enhance our products and services.

The DX team are dedicated creative specialists. We produce a wide range of digital media for online delivery, including video (live action and animation), interactives, graphic design, and illustration. We are also progressing our first project in WebXR (Extended Reality) for vocational education. This reflects our continued drive to discover, define and develop new media solutions for our learners.

DX prioritise continuous improvements in user experience (UX), user interface (UI), accessibility, and cultural practice within the assets we produce, often collaborating with external specialists to meet our shared goals. We thrive on creative challenges of all sizes, focused on effective learning and engagement for a range of learner cohorts. We design for the end-to-end learning experience, rather than digital media assets in isolation. And we do it with a good-natured and human-centred approach.

The Open Polytechnic offers our kaimahi free education, flexible working options, a modern work environment, subsidised school holiday programmes (if you have children), free fitness classes, free car parking on campus, and an on-site café with coffee and food at great prices.

If this sounds like you, we would like to hear from you. Applications must be submitted online via our career's website. Contact the DX Manager at kerry.deane@openpolytechnic.ac.nz with any questions about the role (noting that any communications about the role will be via email only). Applications close Wednesday 09 April 2025, at 11pm.
