<p><span>With hostels across Southeast Asia, Australia, and beyond, we’re one of the fastest-growing hostel brands in the world — and we’re just getting started.</span></p>

<p><span><br></span><span>We have an exciting opportunity for a Graphic Designer to join our team remotely within South East Asia.</span></p>
<p><br></p>
<p><span>The Role</span></p>
<p><span>We're looking for a </span><span>Graphic Designer</span><span> who is as fluent in traditional design craft as they are in the AI tools reshaping our industry. You'll be embedded in our global creative team, producing high-quality visual content across all touchpoints — from social campaigns and hostel signage to video ads and brand collateral.
You know how to concept, execute, and iterate quickly, and you're already using AI to do it smarter.</span></p>
<p><br></p>
<p><span>What You'll Do</span></p>
<ul>
<li><span>Design across digital and physical formats: social media, email, paid ads, OOH, in-hostel signage, merchandise, and branded experiences</span></li>
<li><span>Use </span><span>Higgsfield</span><span> to produce cinematic AI-generated video content — turning static assets into motion for campaigns, social ads, and promotional material</span></li>
<li><span>Leverage AI image and video tools (Midjourney, Runway, Adobe Firefly, Capcut etc.) to accelerate creative production without sacrificing quality</span></li>
<li><span>Collaborate with content, marketing, and local hostel teams to develop on-brand visuals that feel alive, adventurous, and authentic</span></li>
<li><span>Maintain and evolve the Mad Monkey visual identity across all markets</span></li>
<li><span>Deliver multiple creative variants quickly for A/B testing and platform-specific formats</span></li>
<li><span>Stay ahead of trends in AI-generated content, motion design, and social-first visual storytelling</span></li>
</ul>
<p><br></p>
<p><span>What We're Looking For</span></p>
<p><span>Must-haves:</span></p>
<ul>
<li><span>2–4 years of graphic design experience, ideally in travel, lifestyle, hospitality, or consumer brands</span></li>
<li><span>Hands-on experience with </span><span>Higgsfield</span><span> — you can produce polished AI video content using its Cinema Studio, image-to-video tools, and motion controls</span></li>
<li><span>Strong working knowledge of AI design tools (Midjourney, Adobe Firefly, Runway, ChatGPT for creative briefs, etc.)</span></li>
<li><span>Proficiency in </span><span>Adobe Creative Suite</span><span> (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Premiere Pro or After Effects) and </span><span>Canva</span></li>
<li><span>A portfolio that showcases both traditional design chops and AI-assisted creative work</span></li>
<li><span>Understanding of social-first design — you know how to make things perform, not just look good</span></li>
<li><span>Strong visual storytelling instincts and attention to brand consistency</span></li>
</ul>
<p><span>Nice-to-haves:</span></p>
<ul>
<li><span>Experience with motion graphics or basic video editing</span></li>
<li><span>Familiarity with Figma or other UI/UX tools</span></li>
<li><span>Previous experience in a fast-paced, multi-market creative environment</span></li>
