Your immediate supervisor would be based out of our Boston Office in the US, however you’ll be able to operate day to day in your local timezone, but on occasion you may be asked to adjust your schedule to cover meetings or calls with staff and clients in Australia.

As such you must be setup to operate effectively from your own work– space and be comfortable with pure remote / home– based working. Brafton’s core business is heavily remote focused – and was so well before the COVID– 19 pandemic – as such the business is extremely agile and well adapted to such working practices.

Remote graphic designers are responsible for providing and maintaining at their own cost and expense their own office facilities apart from the Company’s offices from which to perform the above services, including computer infrastructure, internet connection and any industry– related hardware.
