Brand Designer

Description:

SOCi, the leader in AI-powered marketing solutions for multi-location businesses, is currently looking for an experienced Brand Designer to elevate the creative execution of our marketing initiatives and support a consistent, recognizable visual identity across channels. This role is highly hands-on: you’ll produce polished, performance-oriented design assets for campaigns, product marketing, presentations, sales enablement, and events–working cross-functionally with Marketing and Sales teams. As an ideal candidate for this role, here are a couple phrases that you may relate with: You’re a proactive problem solver who can connect creative choices to campaign goals without needing to “own strategy.” You’re a continuous learner who stays current on design trends and tools (including AI) and applies them pragmatically.

SOCi expects to pay a base salary in the range of $65,000 - $90,000 CAD base plus bonuses. Within the range, individual pay is determined by factors such as job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training.
