Who We’re Looking For
We’re looking for a full-time Senior Creative Designer to help us create great user experiences online for our growing client list.
** Please have at least 5 examples (or more) of web site designs you have created **
This is a fantastic opportunity for an accomplished designer who loves the web (and the occasional logo design for a change of pace). You should also have experience executing design and marketing projects from concept to production for websites, online promotions and branding.
You need to be an excellent design strategist familiar with a number of business models. You’ll also need to be a self-starter who is comfortable working with both clients and our production team of developers and copywriters.
We’re based in Ottawa – but you don’t need to be.
This position is open to all residents of Canada. The successful candidate can work out of our Ottawa office or their home office. As long as you can work full time hours and be available during the majority of our regular business hours, you can be based anywhere in Canada (but you’ll definitely need a fast Internet connection).
