Senior Brand Designer

We’re hiring a Senior Brand Designer to join our Creative team—someone who has moved beyond executing outstanding work and is ready to shape what great looks like. This role is available to candidates in Toronto, Calgary, and Vancouver.

You are a senior creative with agency and in‑house experience who has led complex, multi‑channel brand work from brief to delivery, held your own in rooms with marketing leadership, and built systems that outlast any single project. You think in systems and long‑term direction, bring craft authority, and are ready to mentor, shape culture, and voice Clio’s brand future.

• Set visual direction on brand campaigns and multi‑channel work, leading the concept while executing within it.
• Own the full arc of complex projects: stakeholder alignment, creative decision‑making, and final delivery, ensuring accountability for calls, not just craft.
• Drive the evolution of Clio’s visual brand, identifying where it needs to grow and leading it there.
• Architect visual identities and design systems for Clio sub‑brands, building frameworks the broader team can scale from.
• Shape creative strategy alongside cross‑functional leaders in product marketing, demand gen, and events, contributing beyond the brief.
• Mentor junior and intermediate designers through feedback, process, and example, raising the team's high bar for craft.

• 5‑8 years of brand design experience with meaningful time across both agency and in‑house environments.
• Portfolio that demonstrates creative leadership—direction‑setting, systems thinking, and work that moved a brand forward.
• Proven ability to present and defend creative decisions to marketing leadership with clarity and conviction.
• Deep proficiency in Figma and Adobe Creative Cloud, with a perspective on how tools should serve the work.
• Experience building design systems that others depend on and scale from.
• Track record of mentoring designers and shaping team workflows.
• Comfort with AI design tools (Midjourney, Krea, or similar) as part of a senior creative practice.
• Deep typographic instincts and the ability to back strong opinions.
• Experience directing motion design—storyboarding concepts, defining look and feel, and guiding animators to deliver intentional, on‑brand work.
• Fluency in presentation design (Keynote, Google Slides).

• Experience leading brand work in SaaS, legal tech, or another complex, regulated industry.
• A history of owning agency relationships or leading external creative partners.

Competitive, equitable salary (CAD $90,800–$122,800) with top‑tier health, dental, and vision insurance. Hybrid work environment with local Clions expected in office at least twice per week.
