Job description

The YMCA of Southwestern New Brunswick is working hard to address the critical issues facing the region: the health crisis, population decline, youth outmigration and child poverty. At the Y, we are striving to build a diverse and inclusive community where each person is valued for the unique perspectives and contributions they bring.

The Y team is a community of 450 employees and 500 volunteers, offering a diverse set of programs at 19 locations within the city and surrounding municipalities. If you don’t have a Y story yet – now is your opportunity. We invite you to see what the power of belonging can do for you, your career and your community.

This is a full-time, on-site position that primarily operates Monday to Friday, with some evening and weekend work required to support events. You will report directly to the Manager of Marketing and Communications.

This opportunity is ideal for a creative self-starter with strong visual design skills and a passion for making a difference. While graphic design will be your primary focus, you’ll also collaborate on social media campaigns, photo and video content, and broader digital marketing initiatives.

Responsibilities

• Design branded print and digital materials (e.g., posters, brochures, digital ads, newsletters).
• Create and maintain templates in Canva and Adobe Creative Suite.
• Produce assets for social media, email marketing, and internal campaigns.
• Ensure brand consistency across all materials and channels.
• Collaborate with internal departments to develop visuals aligned with campaign goals.
• Support signage, program guides, and other site-specific materials.
• Contribute to social media planning and content design (stories, carousels, promotions).
• Capture photos/videos at YMCA programs and events.
• Organize and manage a digital asset library of visuals.
