Graphic Designer

The Communications and Marketing team are creators and instigators. Yes, they obsess over details, like commas, fonts, and data points, but they also mix with big ideas. They get people talking, get them stoked and inspired for adventure.

You’ll work with an inclusive, hands-on, collaborative group that connects people with quality products to encourage active outdoor lifestyles. You’ll always be learning, and there’s a good chance your co-workers will inspire you to try something new, like riding in a Fondo, bouldering or paddleboarding.

What you’ll do:

  • Blow our minds with creative solutions that are strategic and on-brand
  • Collaborate with marketing, brand engagement and design teams to create meaningful experiences for our members
  • Roll out exceptional design work for a wide range of mobile, web, email, social, print and signage projects
  • Take a great idea from concept through to final artwork, in English and French
  • Work with production designers and coordinators to deliver accurate work on time.

What you’ll bring:

  • A solid education in Graphic Design and 3-5 years of work experience
  • A strong portfolio with an emphasis on digital media, including mobile
  • Confidence, clarity, and the power of persuasion
  • Flexibility and a positive spirit
  • You aren’t afraid to think big or try something new
  • Great communication skills – you listen first, then share knowledge
  • A passion for the outdoors that equals your passion for typography
  • Excellent attention to detail – some might call you nitpicky – because you know small things matter
  • You can handle projects, lots of projects, at the same time, while keeping your cool
  • Self-motivation. You get the job done well, without wasting time, and without being asked
  • Superb knowledge of Creative Suite
  • You’re stoked on something. Maybe you live and breathe design, build trails, crave water, organize hut trips, or ride to work.

Bonus points if you…

  • Have experience working in the retail sector or have done work for retail clients
  • Can illustrate, code, or edit video
  • Speak French
  • Can name at least 7 flavours of Clif bars
