About The Role:

This is a hands-on design role for someone with strong graphic design fundamentals who enjoys bringing ideas to life within established brand systems. A significant focus will be supporting Advisor Marketing, partnering with Advisor Marketing Managers to create polished advisor and client-facing materials across print, digital and web channels. The Graphic Designer will also support the broader Creative team, manage a high volume of day-to-day production work and contribute to larger creative initiatives. The ideal candidate is a dependable, detail-oriented designer with strong production skills who can balance multiple assignments and independently move projects from brief through final production. While the role is execution-focused, there will also be opportunities to contribute to larger campaigns, brand initiatives and other high-impact creative projects.
What you’ll be doing:

- Develop and maintain digital marketing content across advisor websites and other platforms, including website graphics, landing page assets and email marketing materials.
- Manage a steady volume of projects within the Creative team’s production queue, balancing changing priorities while maintaining quality, accuracy and timelines.
- Work within established corporate identities, templates and design systems, applying sound design judgment and adapting creative across formats, sizes, channels and audiences.
- Prepare production-ready artwork for print and digital use, reviewing layout, typography, image quality, brand consistency and technical accuracy before release.
- Coordinate print production as required, including file preparation, quotes, vendor communication, proofing and final delivery.
- Organize working files and creative assets according to established team standards.
- Collaborate with Creative, Marketing, Advisor Marketing and other internal stakeholders to keep projects moving efficiently.
- Take ownership of assigned projects from brief through completion, identifying and escalating questions or issues early while contributing thoughtful creative input within established direction.
- Contribute to larger campaigns, brand initiatives and other creative projects as opportunities arise.
What you bring:
- Approximately 2–4 years of professional graphic design experience, ideally within an in-house creative team, agency or similarly fast-paced environment.
- Post-secondary education in Graphic Design, Visual Communication or a related design discipline.
- Strong design fundamentals, including typography, layout, hierarchy, composition, colour and image selection.
- Strong proficiency with Adobe Creative Cloud, particularly InDesign, Illustrator and Photoshop.
- Demonstrated experience designing for print and digital channels, with strong production skills including file preparation, resizing, versioning, prepress and final artwork.
- Excellent attention to detail, accuracy and confidence working within established brand guidelines and creative systems.
- Strong organizational and prioritization skills, with the ability to manage multiple assignments and move projects independently from brief through execution.
- Strong communication and collaboration skills, with a practical, solutions-oriented approach to design and production.
- A portfolio demonstrating strong design fundamentals and polished, professionally executed work across print and digital applications.
Nice to Have:
- Experience in financial services, professional services or a corporate environment.
- Familiarity with video editing, motion graphics and animation using tools such as Premiere Pro or After Effects.
- Experience creating and adapting digital content for websites, social media and email campaigns, including basic website updates, landing pages and CMS platforms such as WordPress or Webflow.
- Familiarity with Canva and Figma, as well as generative AI tools for creating, enhancing and adapting graphic assets.
- Experience working with commercial printers and production vendors.
- Proficiency in PowerPoint and designing professional corporate presentations.
