Who Are You?

You’re a multidisciplinary visual designer with strong creative instincts, sharp attention to detail, and a genuine curiosity about brands, design, and what makes creative work effective. You don’t need a highly prescriptive brief to create something beautiful. You can take an idea, ask the right questions, explore it, and turn it into thoughtful, modern creative. You care about the difference between good and great. You understand that design isn’t just decoration, and you’re interested in the strategy and thinking behind the work. You’re highly skilled in Figma, comfortable designing across different brands and mediums, and bring motion or animation skills that help ideas come to life.

What's the Role?

As a Visual Designer, you’ll create brand identities, campaigns, digital experiences, social content, print, and motion creative for a diverse portfolio of clients. You’ll work closely with content strategists, project managers, and other creatives to turn briefs and brand strategy into cohesive, engaging visual work. You’ll be trusted to bring ideas to the table, not just execute what’s handed to you. Success in this role means producing consistently strong work, thinking critically about the brief, confidently explaining your creative decisions, and continuing to push both your craft and our creative output forward.

Duties & Responsibilities

Creative & Brand Execution

- Develop thoughtful, high-quality creative across brand identities, campaigns, digital, social, print, and other marketing touchpoints.
- Translate brand strategy and creative briefs into cohesive visual concepts rather than relying on overly prescriptive direction.




- Design confidently across a range of visual styles while maintaining each client's distinct brand.
- Apply strong typography, layout, composition, colour, hierarchy, and art direction principles.
- Create motion and animated assets that extend ideas beyond static design.
- Build and maintain thoughtful, scalable Figma files, components, libraries, and design systems.

Creative Thinking & Collaboration

- Contribute ideas and visual thinking early in the creative process, not just at the execution stage.
- Collaborate closely with designers, content strategists, motion/video, project managers, and account teams.
- Present and articulate creative decisions clearly and confidently.
- Give and receive constructive creative feedback and use it to strengthen the work.
- Ask thoughtful questions, challenge assumptions when appropriate, and identify opportunities to make the work stronger.

Creative Excellence & Growth

- Maintain a high standard of craft and attention to detail from concept through final production.
- Stay curious about branding, culture, technology, design, motion, and emerging creative trends.
- Explore current tools and techniques that improve our creative capabilities and workflows.
- Help raise the creative bar by sharing inspiration, knowledge, and ideas with the broader team.

- Strong communication skills and the ability to explain the thinking behind creative decisions.
- Comfortable receiving critique, iterating, and contributing thoughtful feedback to others.
