High Impact Athletes
Remote - New Zealand Wide
Contract
Who we are:
High Impact Athletes is a global non-profit that connects Olympians and professional athletes with high-impact charities to change how the world of sport gives. We've recently partnered with HYROX — the world's fastest-growing fitness race — as their global fundraising partner, moving millions to effective causes across global health, mental health, women's empowerment, animal welfare and climate innovation. The movement is scaling fast, and we're building the creative team to match.
Named Sports Start-Up of the Year at the 2025 ISC International Sports Awards and recipients of the IOC Climate Award, we're an org with serious momentum and we're after talent who are looking to level up their career and play a pivotal role in building our storytelling.
The opportunity
This role sits primarily within Race for Impact — the fundraising movement we've built with HYROX — with some reach into the broader HIA brand. You'll own the visual output across social content, website and platform assets, HYROX event collateral, fundraising tools and impact graphics, helping to shape a brand that cuts through.
What you'll bring:
-
Strong brand and typography skills — you think in systems, not just individual pieces
-
Confident across tools like Adobe, Canva, and Figma
-
A social-first mindset — you understand how design performs in a digital-native environment
-
Motion design skills are a genuine advantage
-
A real appetite for AI tools and evolving with the medium
-
Stylistically distinct — trend-aware and willing to push the boundaries
-
A desire to positively impact the world
How it works:
This is a paid role in line with your experience. Freelance and ad hoc to begin — starting with a trial brief and paid trial period. From there, set hours per week, building toward a full-time role for the right person. Fully remote, NZ/AUS timezones preferred.
What's in it for you:
Hands-on creative direction from an award-winning CD. Work that reaches hundreds of thousands of athletes worldwide. Part of a team at the intersection of elite sport and genuine global impact — with the creative freedom to help define what the brand looks and feels like.
