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.

Design creative concepts and multi-platform visual design across campaigns and initiatives.
Create and enhance sophisticated visual assets, including illustrations, graphics, page layouts.

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.

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!
