Senior Designer, Social

Overview

We’re looking for a Senior Designer who really understands social.

Based in Toronto, you’ll work for brands that want to show up in culture, not just post into the void. This isn’t about maintaining calendars, it’s about creating work people actually care about.

This role is for a visual thinker, maker, and social-native designer who can turn audience behaviour, platform trends, brand systems, and cultural moments into work people actually notice.

You’ll design across always‑on content, campaigns, creator partnerships, social toolkits, pitch work, and integrated brand moments — bringing strong taste, strong craft, and a clear point of view to everything you make.

You’ll work closely with art directors, copywriters, strategists, account leads, media, production, community, and creator partners to make work that moves quickly without losing its quality.

We’re a growing agency, which means no passengers. You’ll have real influence on how we work, what we make, and how we grow.

And yes, this role is deeply plugged into culture. You’re across platforms, creators, trends, and shifts in behaviour before they hit the mainstream. More importantly, you know what’s worth acting on, and what’s just noise.

If you’re excited by the idea of shaping standout work, building something meaningful, and leaving your mark on a fast-moving agency, we should talk.
