WHO YOU ARE:
You are a strategic visual storyteller who brings both conceptual thinking and refined craft to every project.
You excel at translating ideas, data and insights into meaningful visual narratives.
You understand how design shifts across platforms — from print to web to social to video — and how audience, medium and message interact.
You are comfortable presenting work, articulating rationale and participating in critique.
You keep a pulse on emerging trends, tools and technologies and apply them when appropriate.
You contribute to an environment of creativity, collaboration and high standards — and are able to coach and support more junior designers.
WHAT YOU WILL DO:
Design creative concepts and multi-platform visual design across campaigns and initiatives.
Create and enhance sophisticated visual assets, including illustrations, graphics, page layouts.
Translate complex ideas, messages and data into clear, engaging and visually compelling communication.
Manage multiple, deadline-driven projects while maintaining a high standard of quality, brand consistency and craft.
WHAT YOU WILL HAVE:
Post-secondary diploma or degree in graphic design, visual communications, or a related field.
3-5 years of design experience, ideally within brand, marketing, advertising agency or in-house creative teams.
Excellent organizational and interpersonal communication skills.
A high level of professionalism, resourcefulness, and creativity.
A diverse portfolio demonstrating a passion for your work. Preference will be given to those candidates that have a portfolio demonstrating design agility across a variety of media.
Expert proficiency in Adobe Creative Cloud (InDesign, Photoshop, Illustrator, Acrobat), and Microsoft Office (including PowerPoint and Word).
Experience working with print suppliers, providing final files and running preflight.
A high level of professionalism, resourcefulness, and ownership of craft.
ADVANTANGES:
Targeted yearly compensation includes a competitive base salary plus incentive, based on predetermined targets.
Hybrid working arrangement: you may work from home, come into the office when required and sometimes travel to client meetings or events.
Our downtown Edmonton office includes access to a world-class top-floor gym in our summit wellness centre.
Flexible, impactful benefits—right from the source!
The chance to make a positive difference in people’s lives.
