Job description

Job Description

We’re looking for a hands-on designer and marketer who can plan and execute high-impact campaigns across two fast-moving brands. You’ll bring strategy to life through intentional design, sharp execution, and close collaboration with leadership across Aucctus and Disruptive Edge.

About Us

You’ll be working at the intersection of two high-growth sister companies, each shaping the future of innovation in their own way:

Disruptive Edge is the world's leading growth partner, offering unmatched knowledge and tools that empower businesses to lead and succeed in an ever-evolving landscape. Our commitment to helping large enterprises innovate in the most effective way possible has made us a top global player, renowned for our client-centric, outcome-based approach.

Aucctus is building the AI-powered platform that Fortune 5000 companies are using to design their future. Backed by top-tier investors and partnered with major enterprises, we’re building the AI command center for corporate innovation – helping companies chart strategies, test business models, and make bold moves with next-gen AI agents.

Together, we’re at the forefront of enterprise innovation, blending human creativity with AI power – and we’re just getting started.

About This Role

We’re looking for a savvy, hands-on designer and marketer to help both companies show up with creativity, consistency, and impact.

You’ll own and drive marketing execution across brands – planning campaigns, designing assets, maintaining our marketing calendars, and ensuring both Disruptive Edge and Aucctus show up intentionally across platforms.

You’ll collaborate closely with the leadership and design teams of both organizations, gaining access to a deep bench of creative thinkers, strategic operators, and high-performing marketers.

This is a hands-on role where you’ll move fast, work autonomously, and have a huge impact on two powerful brands at the leading edge of innovation.

This is a contract role that can be full-time with the right candidate, but can grow into a permanent full-time, high-impact role.

What You'll Do

• Own the Brand Presence Across Two Companies: Drive the marketing calendars and brand storytelling for both Disruptive Edge and Aucctus.
• Design and Execute Campaigns: Create marketing assets that aren’t just visually stunning, but also move the needle – across web, email, events, paid ads, and social.
• Plan With Intention: Partner with leadership to prioritize marketing efforts that align with company milestones, growth goals, and product launches.
• Collaborate Deeply: Leverage the expertise of both the Aucctus and Disruptive Edge leadership and design teams to build a stronger, more consistent brand voice.
• Work End-to-End: Strategize, design, write light copy, and hit publish – you’re in control of the full marketing cycle.
• Use AI to Accelerate: Integrate AI tools into your workflows for creative production, research, and campaign management.
• Iterate and Improve: Track, learn, and refine marketing efforts based on performance and feedback.

The Ideal Candiate:

• You’re an experienced visual designer and scrappy marketer who loves to build brands from the ground up.
• You have 2–4 years of experience in marketing design, brand building, or creative marketing (B2B SaaS, consulting or innovation firms are a plus).
• Your portfolio shows not just beautiful visuals, but real-world marketing impact.
• You’re comfortable working across two fast-moving organizations, prioritizing work fluidly and managing multiple brand voices.
• You’re a self-starter who thrives in environments with a lot of autonomy.
• You’re fluent in AI tools and can show us how you’re using them to boost creativity and efficiency today.
• You have strong fundamentals in design tools like Figma, Illustrator, and Photoshop – and you’re fast, detailed, and versatile.
• You understand how to market to business leaders, and can elevate brand storytelling to match premium audiences.
• Bonus: You’ve maintained or built brand guidelines across multiple platforms.
• Bonus: You have experience with motion design or web animation.
• Bonus: You love the messy, high-velocity energy of early-stage brand building.

Why Us:

• Dual Impact: Shape not just one brand, but two – across an AI-powered SaaS platform and a global innovation firm.
• High Growth Opportunity: Start part-time, grow into a full-time leadership role if it’s the right fit.
• World-Class Teams: Collaborate with top-tier innovators, designers, strategists, and operators across both companies.
• AI Environment: Work daily at the intersection of AI, business strategy, and innovation.
• Competitive Compensation: Fractional rates to start, with stock options available if/when the role expands.
• True Ownership: We trust you to own your work, drive outcomes, and bring ideas to the table.

Working Conditions:

• This is a fully remote role. That said, we love working together in person, and you’ll be welcome to join us at our high-energy office in downtown Toronto on an ad-hoc basis.
• Must have legal eligibility to work in Canada, or be comfortable with a contractor relationship in lieu of employment status.
