Calgary AB, Calgary Census Division, AB; Alberta, Canada AlgaeCal Inc. Full-time
Pretty Isn’t Good Enough: Your portfolio proves you know how to take a marketing idea and turn it into design that grabs attention, communicates the message fast, and gets people to act. You know how to lead and mentor a team of designers, raise the visual bar, and keep projects moving without sacrificing quality. Great design isn’t just decoration. If that sounds like you, and you’re excited by the idea of raising the creative standard across a fast-growing health and wellness brand, you might just be the Lead Graphic Designer AlgaeCal is looking for. The good news? Helping talented designers become even better. Making sure every piece of creative is on‑brand, easy to understand, and built to get a result. Taking the lead on major campaigns, product launches, website projects, and other big creative initiatives from the first idea right through to the finished work. Reviewing creative before it goes out the door and making sure the feedback process is clear, useful, and fast. Setting clear goals for the design team so everyone knows what great looks like, what matters most, and where their time should be going. Meeting regularly with your designers to coach them, support them, challenge them, and help them grow. Working closely with our Project Management Team to keep priorities straight, workloads realistic, and deadlines on track without letting quality slip. Looking at how our creative actually performs and asking the important questions. Keeping up with new design trends, tools, and AI technology, then using the good stuff and ignoring the gimmicks. 5+ years of professional graphic design experience and a portfolio that makes us say “holy smokes we HAVE to talk” Proven experience mentoring designers. You know how to give useful feedback, raise the bar, and get great work out of people without becoming the creative tyrant no one wants to work with. Serious Adobe Creative Suite skills, especially Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, and After Effects. Premiere Pro is a nice bonus. A strong background in digital marketing and e‑commerce. You understand that your work has to help sell. The ability to design across pretty much everything we throw at you, including ads, websites, email, social, print, packaging, presentations, and other marketing collateral. Experience using AI creative tools to work faster, explore ideas, and improve output without making everything look like it was made by AI. E‑commerce, Amazon, or marketplace experience gets you bonus points. Qualities That Make You An Ideal Teammate At AlgaeCal we’re going to insist that you have these 3 qualities: The truth is, if you don’t have these qualities you won’t last long at AlgaeCal.
