The Job

Hopewell Residential requires a talented graphic designer to work with our diverse internal marketing team and Agency of Record to support strategic marketing goals on both the housing and development sides of our business. We build uncommonly stylish homes in the world’s most sought after communities, and we’re looking for a graphic designer with the design sense, work ethic and experience to help us fulfill this vision. Reporting to the Senior Manager, Marketing and Community Relations (aka Creative Director), you’ll follow the lead of our Agency and collaborate with our creative team of marketing experts in developing business and marketing material which ensures the consistent representation and promotion of all Hopewell Residential brands (including Hopewell Residential

community brands and Sabal Homes).

The Ideal Candidate

If you have agency experience – which means you’re able to think and work creatively within a fast-paced, multi-tasking environment with an eye on multiple brands all at once. You’re self-motivated, professional, and collaborative and enjoy a team environment. You have strong organization skills and are a stickler for detail. You have a production-bias, but have a strong creative eye and willingness to take direction. That said, you’ll also be called-upon to be creative in your own right on certain projects and initiatives. You have experience with all types of design and are particularly comfortable in the digital environment. You know how to work with people, and are okay being creative within a corporate environment (albeit a youthful one). You can contribute to an atmosphere of fun, creativity and productivity, and you are the embodiment of our corporate culture: you enjoy working with a professional team and have a great sense of humour. In return you can count on a fun and youthful working environment where you’re respected, challenged and rewarded.
