Creative Manager

Current job opportunities are posted here as they become available.

The Creative Manager leads the visual direction of Sun Peaks Resort and Sun Peaks Grand, shaping how one of Canada’s leading mountain destinations comes to life across every season and guest touchpoint.

This is a hands-on creative leadership role with plenty of variety and influence. You’ll lead and develop two direct reports, set the visual direction for major campaigns, provide creative direction for photography and video, collaborate with agency and freelance partners, and stay actively involved in design and creative production. The role is well suited to someone who has built broad creative experience, whether inhouse, at an agency or through leading a creative practice of their own.

Your work will span the full Sun Peaks experience, from destination campaigns and digital advertising to print, signage, photography, video and creative throughout the resort. With skiing, mountain biking, golf, events, hospitality and year-round experiences in the mix, no two projects are quite the same. Curiosity will serve you well here. You’ll get to know different parts of the business, ask questions, explore new ideas and find creative ways to connect people with Sun Peaks.

Working across Sun Peaks Resort and Sun Peaks Grand, you’ll turn brand strategy and business priorities into creative that inspires people to visit, strengthens our brands and drives results.

Few creative roles offer a setting and scope quite like this. Your work will be seen by guests before they arrive and throughout their time at Sun Peaks, giving you the opportunity to see ideas move from concept to real-world experience. If great design, visual storytelling, developing people and mountain life are all part of what motivates you, this is a unique opportunity to bring them together.
