Employment Type:Full-Time
Details:Hybrid; 32 hours/week (9am–5pm Mon–Thurs, 9am–1pm Fri)

Topsite is a strategy-first creative marketing agency based in Guelph. We partner with businesses that are ready to grow with clarity, focus, and accountability.

We intentionally keep a small client roster so we can focus on strategic measurable work and create maximum value for our clients.

That same intention shapes how we work as a team. Our 32-hour work week is designed to create space for focused, sustainable work and a life outside of it.

Our work blends strategy, creativity, performance, and thoughtful execution. We care deeply about outcomes, relationships, and producing work that genuinely moves our clients forward.

We’re looking for a Graphic Designer to become a key creative contributor across our client work and help us maintain the high creative standard our clients expect.

As our Graphic Designer, you will be responsible for turning strategy, ideas, and creative direction into thoughtful, polished work across a range of brands and marketing channels.

This is an agency role, so you’ll have the opportunity to work across different clients, industries, audiences, and types of creative challenges. Our small client roster gives you the variety of agency work while still allowing you to understand each brand and give the work the attention it deserves.

We expect our designer to think critically about the work, understand what it needs to accomplish, contribute ideas, identify opportunities, and take initiative in moving projects from concept through completion.

You’ll work as part of a collaborative team of specialists in copywriting, web development, performance marketing, strategic direction, and client management, with the support and context you need to do strong creative work.

• Collaborate with strategy and performance teams to create work that supports campaign and business objectives
• Prepare polished, accurate, production-ready files and assets
• Plan and manage design priorities and deadlines across assigned clients while maintaining a consistently high standard of work
• Engage thoughtfully with feedback, apply it well, and contribute your own perspective when it can strengthen the work
• Identify creative problems, gaps, or opportunities before they become issues
