About The Role:

Our Canadian operation, Canaccord Genuity Corp., is currently looking for a Graphic Designer to join our Creative Team in Toronto. This is a hands-on design role for someone with strong graphic design fundamentals who enjoys bringing ideas to life within established brand systems. A significant focus will be supporting Advisor Marketing, partnering with Advisor Marketing Managers to create polished advisor and client-facing materials across print, digital and web channels. The Graphic Designer will also support the broader Creative team, manage a high volume of day-to-day production work and contribute to larger creative initiatives. The ideal candidate is a dependable, detail-oriented designer with strong production skills who can balance multiple assignments and independently move projects from brief through final production. While the role is execution-focused, there will also be opportunities to contribute to larger campaigns, brand initiatives and other high-impact creative projects.

What you’ll be doing:

• Design and produce a broad range of print and digital marketing materials, including brochures, presentations, advertisements, social content, event collateral, signage, reports, email graphics and advisor marketing materials.
• Partner with Advisor Marketing Managers to translate briefs and business requirements into polished, effective creative solutions.
• Develop and maintain digital marketing content across advisor websites and other platforms, including website graphics, landing page assets and email marketing materials.
• Manage a steady volume of projects within the Creative team’s production queue, balancing changing priorities while maintaining quality, accuracy and timelines.
• Work within established corporate identities, templates and design systems, applying sound design judgment and adapting creative across formats, sizes, channels and audiences.
• Prepare production-ready artwork for print and digital use, reviewing layout, typography, image quality, brand consistency and technical accuracy before release.
• Coordinate print production as required, including file preparation, quotes, vendor communication, proofing and final delivery.
• Organize working files and creative assets according to established team standards.
• Collaborate with Creative, Marketing, Advisor Marketing and other internal stakeholders to keep projects moving efficiently.
• Take ownership of assigned projects from brief through completion, identifying and escalating questions or issues early while contributing thoughtful creative input within established direction.
• Contribute to larger campaigns, brand initiatives and other creative projects as opportunities arise.

What you bring:

• Approximately 2–4 years of professional graphic design experience, ideally within an in-house creative team, agency or similarly fast-paced environment.
• Post-secondary education in Graphic Design, Visual Communication or a related design discipline.
• Strong design fundamentals, including typography, layout, hierarchy, composition, colour and image selection.
• Strong proficiency with Adobe Creative Cloud, particularly InDesign, Illustrator and Photoshop.
• Demonstrated experience designing for print and digital channels, with strong production skills including file preparation, resizing, versioning, prepress and final artwork.
• Excellent attention to detail, accuracy and confidence working within established brand guidelines and creative systems.
• Strong organizational and prioritization skills, with the ability to manage multiple assignments and move projects independently from brief through execution.
• Strong communication and collaboration skills, with a practical, solutions-oriented approach to design and production.
• A portfolio demonstrating strong design fundamentals and polished, professionally executed work across print and digital applications.

Nice to Have:

• Experience in financial services, professional services or a corporate environment.
• Familiarity with video editing, motion graphics and animation using tools such as Premiere Pro or After Effects.
• Experience creating and adapting digital content for websites, social media and email campaigns, including basic website updates, landing pages and CMS platforms such as WordPress or Webflow.
• Familiarity with Canva and Figma, as well as generative AI tools for creating, enhancing and adapting graphic assets.
• Experience working with commercial printers and production vendors.
• Proficiency in PowerPoint and designing professional corporate presentations.

Work Arrangement:

This role is expected to be fully in-office to support collaboration, team connectivity, and day-to-day business needs. The successful candidate should be comfortable working on-site on a regular basis, with any flexibility determined by the nature of the role, business requirements, and manager approval.
