A strong portfolio demonstrating expertise in visual brand identity, advertising campaigns, and creative direction is required, along with reliable references.

As this role focuses on brand identity, digital ad creative, and visual storytelling across channels (Meta, Google, YouTube, Programmatic, DOOH), a deep understanding of brand systems and cross-platform campaign design is a must. Additionally, candidates must have at least a B2 level of English proficiency to ensure effective communication and collaboration (this role will be entirely in English).

• Creating high-quality visuals for print, billboards, and other physical formats
• Collaborating with the Implementation Team to bring creative concepts to life
• Managing multiple client projects simultaneously and ensuring design consistency across all touchpoints
• Applying UX/UI principles to digital assets such as landing pages or ad experiences as needed

Still not sure if you fit the bill? Here’s a little more about who we’re looking for:

Qualifications

• Post-secondary diploma and/or degree in Graphic Design is an asset
• Minimum of 5 years’ experience in branding, advertising, or graphic design, preferably with a marketing agency

• Familiarity with UX/UI principles for web and digital experiences
• A strong eye for visual composition and typography
• A savvy, results-oriented person with strong attention to detail and creativity
• Approachable and a team player—as we are all about collaboration
