About the role

We’re hiring a Brand & Marketing Content Creative / Designer to sit within our Brand & Marketing team in Auckland — a maker of many things who will help bring the Context Architects story to life.

This is a hands-on, execution-focused role. The strategy side is sorted; what we need is someone who loves designing and making things, and who can turn brand and marketing direction into beautifully crafted, consistent work across everything we put out into the world.

Importantly, this isn’t just a maintenance role. You’ll be joining at a pivotal reset point. Our brand and marketing materials have built up organically over time, and there’s a real opportunity here to bring order to them — auditing what exists, archiving what’s no longer needed, and establishing clean, systemised foundations to build from. We’re looking for someone who sees that as an exciting challenge rather than a chore: a systems thinker who can create order and set us up to move faster and more consistently in future.

First things first: we don’t expect a unicorn. This role covers a lot of ground, and we know very few people are brilliant at all of it. We’re after someone versatile — strong in some areas, and genuinely keen to grow into the rest.

Growing with us

We’re very keen on growing the person who comes on board. We’ll co-design a learning plan together, so that over time you’re exposed to different aspects of the brand and marketing function — learning more, broadening your skills, and ultimately having input into the strategy you’re helping to execute. This is a role you can grow into and shape.

What success looks like

You’re succeeding in this role when:

– Our brand looks sharp and consistent everywhere it appears, across print and digital.

– Our proposals, bids, and competition entries are distinctive, persuasive, and delivered on time.

– We have a systemised, easy-to-use suite of brand guidelines and templates that the whole studio relies on.

– What we already had has been audited, the outdated material archived, and clean foundations established to build from.

– Our website and social channels stay fresh, with content you’ve created and deployed.

– You’re trusted to take a brief and run with it independently.

How this role fits in

You’ll work closely with the Head of Marketing & Brand, who owns brand, marketing, and communications strategy. They set the direction and priorities; you bring them to life through design and delivery. This partnership lets the strategy stay sharp while you own the craft — making you central to how Context Architects shows up in the market.

Key responsibilities

Audit, archive & establish

– Audit our existing brand and marketing materials, templates, and assets to understand what we have and what’s still fit for purpose.

– Archive outdated, duplicated, or off-brand material, and bring order to what remains.

– Apply systemised thinking to establish clean, well-structured foundations — the libraries, naming, and systems we’ll build from.

Brand & toolkits

– Evolve our visual identity and systemise it into clear brand guidelines and toolkits.

– Develop and maintain brand and marketing toolkits — including LinkedIn and Instagram playbooks, proposal templates, and capability statements.

– Bring craft and consistency to every brand touchpoint, across print and digital.

Design & production

– Design promotional collateral including brochures and event signage.

– Assist in the creation of bids, RFPs, and design competition entries, coordinating inputs from various stakeholders.

– Manage the library of bids, bio pages, and marketing assets, keeping them accurate, differentiated, and accessible across the firm.

Content & channels

– Create visual content for our website and social channels, and deploy it to keep everything fresh.

– Help maintain website content and keep our CRM accurate and up to date.

Photography & assets

– Organise and manage project photography — briefing photographers, staging shoots, selecting and licensing images.

– Maintain a well-organised, systemised photo and asset library.

What you’ll bring

We’re open-minded about background. You might be an experienced brand/marketing designer, someone who has done much of this for another business, or a designer or underutilised Mac operator at an agency who wants to learn more about marketing and brand by going client-side. What matters most:

– Around 3–6 years in an agency, design-led studio, or a comparable hands-on role.

– Strong Adobe Creative Suite skills, with great design and organisational instincts.

– A strong visual eye — an understanding of layout, photography, and brand storytelling.

– The ability to manage multiple projects and deadlines independently.

– A willingness to embrace AI tools to enhance efficiency — never to replace creativity. Existing familiarity is a bonus, not a requirement.

– A genuine love of creative culture (an interest in architecture is a bonus).

How to apply

If this sounds mostly like you, we’d love to hear from you. Email ***email_hidden*** (Head of Marketing & Brand) expressing your interest. We’ll then ask you to complete and return a questionnaire along with your CV.
