This is a contract-based role through the external staffing partner Magnit Global, and is ideal for a creative professional seeking to contribute to life-changing healthcare campaigns while working in a dynamic, regulated environment.

The Graphic Designer will create compelling, high-quality visual designs across multiple touchpoints, including promotional materials for both healthcare professionals (HCPs) and patients. This position requires a keen eye for design detail, deep familiarity with brand guidelines, and adherence to regulatory frameworks (PAAB/ASC standards).

• Ensure consistency in brand messaging and visual standards across all touchpoints.

• Collaborate with cross-functional teams and external vendors to deliver projects that are visually engaging and on-brand.

• Maintain organized file systems, version control, and asset libraries.

Essential Requirements:

• 2–3 years of hands-on experience as a designer (agency or freelance); experience in pharmaceutical marketing is a major plus.

• Strong understanding of layout, typography, and modern design principles backed by a professional portfolio.

• Proven experience designing materials for both HCPs and patients in a bilingual (English/French) context.

• High attention to detail, particularly in multi-language content and brand compliance.

• Fluent use of Adobe Creative Cloud (Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator).

• Familiarity with tools like Figma, Canva, Shaman, and Microsoft Office Suite.

• PowerPoint presentation design skills are considered a strong advantage.

• Bilingual (English and French) is required.

Contract Details:

• Type: Contract (6 months)

• Rate: CA$60–CA$89/hr (commensurate with qualifications and experience)

• Location: On-site in Montreal or hybrid with presence in Toronto
