Location: Hybrid (Remote/Alymer Ontario)

 

 

What we are looking for.

We are on the hunt for an Art Director to round out a passionate and highly creative internal design team. This position calls for a highly collaborative leader with a creative spark and a keen understanding of marketing communications and brand building in the cannabis space. You must possess the ability to adapt for an industry in constant flux, have some sharp concept ideation abilities, strong communication skills, and the passion and self-motivation to be the best in the business. You love to create new processes, streamlining needs to get more done faster (and better). You thrive with innovative problem-solving, from concept development to production design, through to fast high-caliber executions. Your style is diverse and can span across communication touch points, from instore to online, digital and print. We need someone that knows the rules yet isn’t afraid of how to push them to their breaking point.

 

Why you’ll love this job.

The creative challenges are as diverse in medium, as they are in demographics, so there is never a dull moment. From the instore customer journey to digital online touch points (and everything in between), this is about as creative as you can get. If we can dream it up, we make it happen – our only limitation on what is possible is ourselves (and sometimes Health Canada). Motif offers the ideal environment for creative brains to thrive, as design and innovation are an integral part of the entire process.
