We’re seeking a Brand Visual Designer to support a refreshed visual identity and rollout across priority touch points.

This role is for a designer with strong brand craft (typography, layout, systems thinking) who can work confidently inside existing constraints (e.g., partner brand requirements) while preserving and evolving the client’s distinct heritage and voice.

What you’ll do

In the first 2 weeks

• Get oriented to the project context, stakeholders, approvals, and existing brand assets.

• Review existing visual identity, reference materials, and any applicable brand requirements

• Set up working files and a lightweight system for versioning and handoff.

During the engagement

• Support visual identity integration work within defined guidelines while preserving a distinct mission, audiences, and cultural heritage.

• Design and refine core brand assets as needed (e.g., typography system, color usage, supporting elements, layout standards).

• Create practical templates and collateral drafts for near-term rollout (e.g., slide templates, one-pagers, social/announcement assets, basic web/landing page components as applicable).

• Contribute to a brand governance approach: do/don’t examples, guidance for future makers, and lightweight documentation so the team can apply the identity consistently.

• Translate strategy into craft: take positioning and narrative inputs from the broader team and express them as clear, coherent visual systems.

• Prepare polished design presentations and options with rationale (what’s changing, why, and how it supports the organization’s goals).

• Incorporate feedback across multiple stakeholder groups; help structure feedback into decisions and next iterations.

• Collaborate closely with the project team (brand lead, PM, and partner teams) to meet deadlines and maintain quality.

What we’re looking for

You might be a fit if you have:

• 3–7+ years of experience in brand/visual design (in-studio, agency, or in-house).

• A portfolio demonstrating brand systems, identity work, and real-world applications (not just logos).

• Strong typography, composition, and layout craft; comfort creating reusable systems and templates.

• Experience designing within constraints (e.g., co-branding, institutional guidelines, accessibility, multi-stakeholder approval environments).

• High attention to detail and a bias toward clarity: you can make complex requirements feel simple to use.

• Clear communication: you can present work, explain tradeoffs, and ask the right questions to unblock decisions.

• Comfort working independently with light direction, while staying tightly aligned to a lead’s vision and to stakeholder feedback cycles.

Bonus points

• Experience with higher-ed / public sector / multi-organization partnerships.

• Experience supporting rebrands, renames, or transitional brand architecture.

• Familiarity with accessibility best practices and designing for diverse audiences.

Rate guidance

• Target range (USD): $45–$60 USD/hr

• Target range (CAD): $60–$80 CAD/hr

Tools & workflow

• Figma (required)

• Adobe CC (helpful)

• Organized file hygiene and handoff practices (naming, components, libraries, export conventions)

Working style & values

• Remote-first and collaborative.

• Craft-forward: you care about the details that make systems usable.

• Community-minded: you can design with respect for cultural heritage and stakeholder contexts.

• Comfortable iterating: you can move quickly, show work early, and refine based on feedback.
