Design assistant Jobs in Vancouver, BC

Description :

We’re a team of strategists, designers, engineers, and producers, driven by a shared mission to create innovative digital products, services, and experiences that help our clients unlock growth. If you’re up for that challenge, you should join us.

The Role :

We believe that small, collaborative, and cross-functional teams are best equipped to ship the most optimal project outcomes. Within these teams, Design Directors take a principled approach to crafting the visual language and brand experience across our engagements.

As Design Director, you’ll guide teams in concepting and creatively defining the work we produce, from how it functions to how it feels. You’ll lead and inspire visual designers and product designers to produce work that prioritizes innovation over convention, helping our clients bring innovative new digital experiences to market. Applying your expertise in design systems, user experience, interaction, typography, and brand, you’ll be responsible for ensuring the work we ship is exceptional in every way.

This is a hands-on role, leading projects from ideation through deployment, while managing, mentoring, supporting, and collaborating with a cross-functional team.

Ideal candidates will have experience working in a digital agency or consultancy environment, with deep expertise at the intersection of brand design and digital product. Your ability to produce work of the highest quality will be clearly demonstrated through a portfolio of work that communicates your strategic approach and your commitment to craft.

What You’ll Do :

• Lead, manage, and empower cross-functional teams to produce exceptional work
• Guide the design process bringing together strength in brand, UX, and UI
• Define project goals and objectives that go beyond the brief
• Drive concepting and ideation in pursuit of innovative approaches and solutions
• Guide the craft of projects that require greater hands-on design direction
• Lead client workshops, presentations, pitches, and reviews
• Develop and build positive and trusting relationships with client-side colleagues
• Foster an environment that balances high performance with happiness and healthiness
• Support new business including pitches and organic growth opportunities
• Help to strengthen our reputation as a leading agency with a commitment to craft

What You’ll Bring :

This is a hybrid role with three days per week in the studio. Candidates should be residents of Vancouver and able to travel. International applicants will not be considered at this time.
