Job description

We’re looking for a mid-level Digital Designer with strong UX/UI fundamentals and hands-on experience designing across digital channels. This role is execution-focused and works closely with our creative team to translate approved creative direction into clean, intuitive, high-performing digital work.

You’ll design in Figma, develop wireframes and page layouts, and produce assets across websites, landing pages, social, display, and email. While some motion experience is a bonus, this is not a motion-focused role. The priority is thoughtful UX, strong layout skills, consistency, and dependable digital production.

About Us

The Turn Lab is not your typical creative agency. As consultancy-led problem solvers, we tackle unique challenges with a tailored blend of research, strategy, creative, media, and technology. Think of us as a powerhouse creative lab—fueled by bold ideas, innovation, and the grit that built us from the ground up.

We’re ambitious, thick‑skinned, and thrive in a fast‑paced environment, always on the lookout for curious, passionate, and solution‑driven individuals to join our ranks.

Pride in our work? Absolutely. Excitement about tackling challenges head‑on? Always. And if you’re looking to work for a purpose‑driven organization that’s a certified B Corporation and 100% carbon‑neutral, well, we might just be the perfect fit.

We’re proud to be an equal opportunity employer who values diversity, inclusion, and a sense of humour – because let’s face it, if you’re not having fun while solving tough problems, what’s the point?

What You’ll Do

UX & Digital Design Execution

• Design UX/UI layouts and wireframes in Figma for websites, landing pages, and interactive experiences.
• Execute digital creative across social, display, email, and web channels following approved concepts and brand guidelines.
• Translate creative direction into polished, production‑ready assets across formats and platforms.
• Build and maintain automated Figma templates to support scalable, efficient production of digital assets.
• Support usability improvements, responsive layouts, and clear content hierarchy across digital experiences.
• Apply best practices for accessibility, platform performance, and engagement.

Production & Asset Delivery

• Prepare and organize files for delivery to internal teams and external partners.
• Ensure correct formatting, platform specifications, and version control across all assets.
• Maintain and update reusable design templates and asset libraries within brand systems.
• Implement revisions and feedback accurately and efficiently.

Collaboration & Workflow

• Work closely with art directors, copywriters, strategists, and production teams throughout the design process.
• Participate in internal reviews, working sessions, and client presentations.
• Communicate clearly to align expectations, timelines, and deliverables.

Motion & Video Support (Bonus)

• Provide light motion or video support for social ads or simple animations when needed.
• Assist with basic After Effects or video updates under creative direction.
• Motion skills are a value‑add but not a core responsibility of the role.

What You’ll Bring

Experience & Portfolio

• 2‑4 years of experience in a studio or agency environment.
• A portfolio showcasing strong digital design and UX/UI work, including wireframes, page layouts, or interface projects.
• Motion or animation samples are welcome but not required.

Design & Technical Skills

• Proficiency using Figma for UX/UI design and wireframing.
• Strong working knowledge of Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator; After Effects is a bonus).
• Solid understanding of typography, layout, responsive design, and digital composition.
• Ability to prepare clean, organized production files across multiple platforms.

Mindset & Soft Skills

• Detail‑oriented with a strong sense of craftsmanship.
• Organized and able to manage multiple projects in a fast‑paced environment.
• Comfortable receiving creative direction and incorporating feedback efficiently.
• Collaborative, communicative, and team‑focused.
• Curious about UX best practices and evolving digital design tools.

Nice to Have

• Basic motion or video editing experience.
• Strong understanding of Paid & Organic content, Social Media, Digital Out-of-Home (OOH), and emerging digital tactics.
• Exposure to emerging tools such as prototyping software, 3D tools, or AI‑assisted design platforms.

Why You’ll Love Working with Us

We’re committed to making work feel rewarding, flexible, and fun!

• Salary range: $60,000–$75,000 CAD, depending on experience.
• 15 days of vacation annually.
• Hybrid work model (2‑3 in‑office days/week).
• Extra paid stat holidays.
• Bike‑to‑work incentive program.
• Supportive studio culture with opportunities for mentorship and professional growth.

How to Apply

If this opportunity excites you, then we can’t wait to see your portfolio, resumé and short note about why you’d be a great fit. We value ideas, clean design, and a collaborative spirit and we’re excited to meet someone who feels the same.

We’re ambitious. We defy the current. We challenge our clients, each other, and anyone who says that a challenge isn’t fun. We value diverse and broad talents, ideas, and approaches.

We embrace diversity, inclusion, and equity. We value differences and uniqueness. We respect and encourage everyone to share their experiences, thoughts, and views – everyone has a voice at the turn lab.

We welcome and encourage applications from people with disabilities. Accommodations are available on request for candidates taking part in all aspects of the selection process.
