Job description

We don't currently have any open positions for this role, but we're always looking for our next talented Stryver. If you want to try and impress us and change our minds, we'd be looking for a full-time Intermediate Designer. That would work closely with our Creative Director, Senior Designer, and Account Team to craft compelling digital experiences and assets and some print work for Stryve and our awesome clients.

This position would be open to residents of Ontario, Canada. You'd have the flexibility to work remotely, come into the office every day, or do a combination of both. Our office in Kitchener supports a collaborative hybrid workplace in the world's largest IoT building, Catalyst137.

While this would be a remote first position, you will need to travel to our Kitchener office or nearby clients a few times a year, so being within a commutable distance is essential.

Responsibilities

So, what would a typical day look like? In any given week, your tasks could include the following :

  • Crafting designs for projects such as but not limited to websites, landing pages, prototypes, social media assets, presentations, iconography / infographics, blog visuals, branding, and, from time to time, print work for marketing assets.
  • Designing within an established brand and maintaining consistency through various touchpoints.
  • Various in-house tasks to support our brand and marketing efforts.
  • Staying on top of communications with the design and account teams through various channels such as email, Slack, and Jira.
  • Using Jira and Tempo to manage your tasks and track your time.
  • Handling multiple tasks simultaneously and adapting to shifting timelines.
  • Helping us improve the way we work together by contributing to company discussions (we encourage all team members to share ideas and opinions regardless of experience or seniority).
  • Blogging : It's part of our ongoing learning culture. You'd occasionally write about design, work life, or design infographics.
  • Leading client discovery calls to learn about their brand, project, and expectations.
  • Presenting, rationalizing, and explaining your work to clients.

Requirements

Our next Intermediate Graphic Designer will have a post-secondary education (or similar) in Graphic Design, 3 to 5 years of experience in design roles, and a strong portfolio of previous digital and print work and tick the following boxes. These skills are critical for success in this role :

  • Proven experience designing websites, from wireframes to dev-ready mockups.
  • A solid understanding of print and digital production processes (proper file formats, proofing and pre-flighting, etc.).
  • Exceptional organization and time management skills, with a fine eye for detail (i.e., spacing, spelling, grammar, alignment, kerning, etc.).
  • A strong understanding of brand consistency, layout, typography, and design principles.
  • A belief that constructive feedback and direction make us and our work stronger.
  • Ability to learn new technology, software, and interfaces quickly.
  • Competence with Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, XD, and InDesign).
  • Experience using Figma for wireframing, prototyping, and designing.
  • Proficient with Microsoft Office and Google applications (PowerPoint, Word, Google Slides / Docs).
  • An enthusiasm to learn new things (trends, tools, and techniques).
  • Multitasking is your middle name.
  • Excellent communication skills (verbal and written) and an act for digging deeper into the client's feedback to get to the root of the direction.
  • Demonstrated ability to lead design projects, ensuring timely delivery without compromising on quality.
  • Bonus points if you have :

  • Experience with project management software such as Jira or Trello.
  • Illustration skills.
  • Animation and video editing skills.
  • Basic familiarity with WordPress.
  • UX certification or training.
  • Many skills can be taught over time, but we want to click as a team right away. You're a natural-born Stryver if…

  • You want to do great work.
  • You think creatively and are itching for room to explore your ideas.
  • You're hyper-organized and always seem to be a couple of steps ahead of everyone else.
  • You're curious and never shut up about new things you've learned.
  • You'll speak up with your opinion, even if it's a different one.
  • Humour is a part of how you get through the day.
  • You've got a life outside of work that you're passionate about.
  • Your fifth food group is sushi (may also include shawarma, baos, dimsum, thai, and any pizza except Pizza Pizza jk we never say no to pizza).
  • What we offer

  • Competitive salary of $47,874 to $64,691, depending on experience.
  • Your choice of Mac or PC, whichever you work best on.
  • $1,250 home office credit in your first year, $250 / year after that.
  • Unlimited wellness days.
  • A health spending account that covers 100% of medications, dental, vision, etc., with no waiting period.
  • A separate health spending account dedicated to mental health providers and EAP program.
  • A wellness and fitness benefit of $600 for any non-medical items that improve your health.
  • An annual education benefit of $1000 to use to further your skills and knowledge.
  • Fifty dollars per month towards your cell phone bill.
  • 2 paid days per year to spend volunteering and yearly donation budget that Stryve will donate to a charity of your choice.
  • Winter holiday shut down during the last week of December.
  • 6 weeks of parental leave top-up to 100% of your salary and 6 months of additional childcare benefits upon return to work.
  • Annual bonus (based on company performance).
  • Additional sabbatical vacation time based on tenure.
  • A commitment to work-life balance—our core hours are 8 : 30 AM-4 : 30PM with an hour lunch.
  • An inclusive, flexible environment where you can be your authentic self. We recognize the impact of diverse voices and backgrounds on the growth of our people, work, and company. Psychological safety is the core of our culture and a belief that one will not be punished or humiliated for speaking up with ideas, questions, concerns, or mistakes.
