If you have a strong foundation in graphic design, appreciate the power of simple, powerful communication, and are ready to expand your skills by working alongside seasoned creatives, this could be the role for you.

Our team is small but mighty, comprised of a talented, highly collaborative group of art directors, writers, designers, and planners. To fit in, you’ll ideally be a curious, agile, and enthusiastic collaborator: a designer, free of ego, who wants to use their creativity to make brands sing.

You must have an online portfolio to be considered for this role.*

Our Ideal Candidate Will Have

• Strong foundational skills in graphic design and typography
• Proficiency in multi-tasking
• Ability (and willingness) to apply visual storytelling skills to a mix of print, digital, social, and video
• A hawk-like eye for details
• Insights into new media channels/formats and an understanding of how to incorporate them into campaigns
• Above average appetite for the large volume of snacks that bombard the creative department daily
• At least one year of relevant experience, preferably in an agency setting
• A third level qualification in advertising, graphic design or a related discipline
• A conceptual and collaborative nature, with strong verbal communication skills to defend and present your ideas
• Ability to work cross-functionally with a fast-paced team
• Excellent working knowledge of the Adobe Creative Suite

What You Get in Return

• Opportunity to hone your skills on clients big and small
• The chance to work at one of the world’s largest (and award-winning) communications agencies that has been listed among Great Place to Work® Best Workplaces in Canada and Best Workplaces for Women
