Imagine working at the forefront of innovation in fluid-flow technology, with over 1,400 colleagues across the globe, and contributing to a legacy of excellence that spans eight manufacturing facilities on four continents. Armstrong Fluid Technology is more than just a leader in our industry; we are a community of the brightest and most creative minds, driven by a shared mission to engineer the future and safeguard our planet.
As part of our Armstrong team, you'll be immersed in an environment that fosters growth, creativity, and collaboration. Here, you'll have the opportunity to push boundaries, tackle exciting challenges, and develop cutting‑edge solutions that promote energy efficiency and reduce environmental impact. Every day offers the chance to make a meaningful contribution to a more sustainable future, driving innovations that help lower global carbon footprints. Together, we’re creating a legacy that goes beyond business—one that’s changing the world for the better.
As a Senior Designer on our global design team, you will set the standard for design craft. The role owns the templates, design system and precision artwork that make Armstrong's technical products look and read consistently across regions, including product labels and packaging, brochure and collateral templates, product and schematic visuals, and the assets that support trade shows and customer events.
This is a role of scope, not just output. The Senior Designer works independently, decides how an open problem should be approached, briefs and manages external vendors, and codifies what works into standards others reuse. The person in it is expected to understand why good design works, to keep studying the craft, and to explain their reasoning.
Key Accountabilities: 1.
Scalable global template and precision design system
Create and maintain the library of templates and design assets for global use: brochures, ads, product label templates, PowerPoint master decks and current collateral types.
Own the structure and rules of the design system in Figma and the Armstrong Visual Asset Management System, including asset upload, version control and naming, so teams in every region can reuse work without asking.
Test new design tools and workflows, decide which are adopted, and lead the team's adoption of them. This includes AI image tools, with documented prompts and a clear check on accuracy before anything is published.
Write down the how-to for each template (instructions, approvals, handoffs) so the system does not live in one person's head.
Record the reasoning behind each standard, not only the steps: why this grid, type scale or colour rule, so others can extend the system without breaking its intent.
2. Precision artwork delivered
Produce production‑ready artwork for regulated and technical products: nameplates, packaging, warning, retrofit and control‑guide labels, with required content, dimensions and approved colours.
Proof artwork with vendors and engineers before print or production, and guide engineering on improvements that meet brand and industry standards.
Create product renderings,
schematics and isometric illustrations that turn technical product information into clear visuals.
Take whitepapers, infographic reports and case studies from raw technical material to branded, customer‑facing content.
3. Collaboration and support
Design major events and brand environments: booths, screens and video for trade shows, customer visit experiences and facility or office branding.
Partner with engineering, product, sales and regional marketing, translating requests into scoped design work and flagging risk early.
Brief, evaluate and manage external design partners and suppliers.
Plan weekly capacity against the tracker, and record both planned and unplanned work honestly so the team's load is visible.
4. Leadership
Coach designers through design reviews, clear standards and direct feedback; delegate appropriate work across the team to build capability and consistency.
Run design reviews and take the lead in prioritizing work within the Senior Designer's workstreams.
Raise the group's craft literacy: lead a short regular session for Toronto and India designers on a craft topic (typography, grids, information design) using real Armstrong work and outside references, and take part in the group's proactive design practice.
Qualifications and Requirements
6+ years of skilled design experience, with a portfolio that demonstrates ownership of design systems or templates, not just individual pieces.
Expert in Adobe Illustrator and InDesign, and fluent in Figma; working knowledge of a digital asset management tool (Frontify or similar) and PowerPoint master-slide design.
