  7. Champion design thinking initiatives that enhance business impact and elevate creative effectiveness.
  8. Mentor and develop team members, supporting their professional growth and performance goals.
  9. Recruit and manage freelancers as needed.
  10. Collaborate with Account Managers for client communications and interactions.
  11. Support company marketing efforts through social media and website copywriting, posting, and community management.
  12. Stay on top of the latest trends in digital advertising, including emerging tools and platforms.
Candidate Qualifications
  1. 5-10 years of design experience encompassing a diverse range of print and digital designs, with a predominant focus on digital media. Minimum 2 years in a Senior Designer or Art Director role.
  2. Demonstrated experience in people management, leading creative teams comprising designers and copywriters.
  3. Proficiency in online marketing channels and familiarity with digital ad platforms’ design specifications and guidelines (Meta, Google, Bing, LinkedIn, Snapchat, Pinterest, Twitter/X, TikTok).
  4. A dedicated and proven artist with a strong commitment to creativity.
  5. Exceptional leadership skills, capable of organizing, motivating, and raising the design standards of your team.
  6. Experience working with established brand guidelines, ensuring clarity and consistency in messaging, with a high level of quality control.
  7. Eagerness for personal growth, openness to receiving and giving feedback, and a commitment to continuous improvement.
  8. Strong written and verbal communication skills in English and French.
  9. Entrepreneurial mindset with a passion for creative excellence and results-driven outcomes.
