Marketing - Multimedia Designer

About Us:

Sunwing Vacations Group is home to North America’s largest vacation brands, comprised of the leading Canadian leisure tour operators Sunwing Vacations and WestJet Vacations, along with the growing United States based tour operator Vacation Express, together with the Group’s own travel retail businesses SellOffVacations.com and Luxe Destination Weddings. Our culture is driven by our EPIC Values (entrepreneurial, passionate, innovative, and customer-centric) and our teams work together to deliver our purpose “passionate people making vacation dreams come true”.

The Opportunity

Under Sunwing Vacations, we are looking for a Multimedia Designer to join our team and help make vacation dreams come true.

Great ideas move. A strong edit can turn footage into feeling, and the right motion can make a brand recognizable before a word is read.

The Studio is WestJet Group’s in-house creative team, working across WestJet, Sunwing, WestJet Vacations and SellOffVacations. We bring together writers, graphic designers, multimedia designers, creative leaders and project managers to create work across the full guest journey.

As a Multimedia Designer, you’ll bring these brands to life through video editing, motion design and animation. Reporting to the Manager, Creative Brand and working closely with the Group Creative Director, writers, graphic designers, project managers and video-production partners, you’ll help shape work from early creative exploration and story development through editing, animation, finishing and final delivery.

This is a hands-on video editing and motion-design role, but it is not a finishing-only role. You’ll contribute ideas, find the story in the material and develop motion systems that make campaigns more distinctive. Your work could be a six-second social cutdown, a national campaign, an airport screen, an onboard film or a piece of content people actively choose to watch.

The Studio works as part of a wider creative ecosystem. Some projects are created entirely in-house, while others are developed with agency and production partners. In every case, the goal is the same: a strong idea, excellent craft and a coherent brand experience.

Apply now and have your career soar to new heights - under our wing!
