Top Notch Graphic Designer

Hi my name is Johannes, and I own a Marketing company in Australia.
I help small businesses generate more leads and sales in their (usually) brick-and mortar businesses.
As part of my team, I am looking for a top notch graphic designer, that can design websites, banner ads, and other graphics such as facebook headers, linkedin backgrounds,…

Things are going well, so I’m looking for someone to help me. Currently I only have two part-time freelancers helping me.
I'm still too small to have full-time staff or full-time contractors.
I am looking to expand in a slow-but-steady kind of way. This job averages only 5 hours per week to begin with. Some weeks might be more, some less, but average is 5 hours per week. If things go well between us, and you're interested, the opportunity may exist to increase to more hours per week/ month.

Obviously I'd like to grow alongside the winning applicant (you?) to offer as much employment as you'd like, although we need to walk before we can run.

The winning applicant (possibly you?) must absolutely have the following equipment:
- reliable high-speed Internet access
- reliable computer
- own photoshop and indesign license

The winning applicant (possibly you?) must absolutely have the following characteristics:
- very detail-oriented
- deadline-obsessed
- tech-comfortable
- average to above-average English, both written and spoken
Bonus (although not required) skills include:
- sense of humour

For our company to grow, everything must run on checklists / working procedures. You will be expected to:
- follow step-by-step procedures that already exist (follow them *exactly*)
- make suggestions to me on how to improve checklists (when you see legitimate improvement opportunities - I may say yes or no)
- possibly create step-by-step checklists for other staff to follow

Projects you'll be involved in include:
-designing websites (we generally start with homepages, then you will need to design secondary pages as well – I generally provide a wireframe and design guidelines)
-Banner Ad Design – I’ll provide ideas and design guidelines

Timeline: - starting as soon as I find a qualified applicant; next few weeks would be nice, although I'm not going to rush the process. I need the right person in this position - 30-day trial to begin; if we like each other we'll continue

NOTE: I know I'm going to sound like a jerk for saying this, but I really respect both you and I's time, so I'll say this bluntly: if you dislike rules, checklists, guidelines, and/or pride yourself in being a "free spirit", antiauthority, counterculture, wildly creative, or super-alternative, this job is not for you. I'm looking for someone who will work within the current business "machine" I've built, and is eager to help me make it bigger, stronger, faster by embracing the checklist mindset. Following checklists is imperative. For the sake of your time and mine, do not apply if you feel bogged down by checklists. Thank-you.
