Graphic Designer (Remote)

Oh, hello there, creative one.

Funday is a full service agency made up of people who are friendly and hardworking in equal measure. Inspired by an unrelenting belief that having fun is integral to creativity, we like to say we’re all about fun and brains. You know, that sweet spot between where pretty and performance meet and where insight and imagination produce the entirely unexpected? That’s where we thrive.

Graphic Designer

As a Graphic Designer, you will report directly to a Senior Art Director or Associate Creative Director and work closely with team members from around the globe. Your role will be varied and may change from day-to-day. We’re a nimble group – so everyone is deeply involved in the work. You’ll always be working with a team who has a passion for great creative, as well as strategists, technologists, and producers who will help you push the work forward.

You are a maker and a storyteller, and you’re curious. You use your craft to bring creative solutions to life. You know the FUNdamentals and are good enough to break the rules. You’re happy to forge your own path, but you know when to get others involved.

Location – You will work remotely from anywhere in AB, BC, or ON

• Collaborate with an art director and copywriter to translate ideas into visual assets or storyboards for various digital, print, and social media platforms.
• Make graphics and layouts that grab attention and make complex stuff easy to understand.
• Keep an eye on what’s trending in design so we are always ahead of the game.
• Juggle a few projects at once and make sure they’re all top-notch and on time.

You’ll want to read this part

• Don’t forget to include your portfolio – if there isn’t a portfolio, we won’t consider your application. Sounds harsh, but we get LOTS of applications.
• If you live in Canada, are able to work here, and you are in one of these provinces: BC, AB or ON – please apply! Otherwise, we’re sorry, we’re not set up to support staff outside of these regions.
• Please note: we post the same role in multiple locations to help us cast a wide net. Applying to each location for a posting will not increase your chances. Now that we’ve saved you some time, go do something fun!
• This posting is for a genuine vacancy we are looking to fill immediately and not a prospective future role (i.e. we’re saying this isn’t a ghost job)

Come be a Funatic

We believe you won’t perform at your best if you’re not having fun. And you can’t have fun if you’re not performing. We believe this creates the best client + agency relationships and is the best way to make great work.

We believe in respect, inclusivity, kindness, equity, and equality. We want to make a positive impact. We believe that collaboration is the fun part of being at work. We strive to create a culture in which “we” is more important than “me”.

Apart from loving terrible fun puns, we’re small and we’re growing – which means you’ll have a chance to make your mark and grow with us. We’re also 100% remote, and that might not appeal to everyone – but if you value flexibility, it’s perfect.
