We have a defined brand identity that's ready to be expanded, refined, and brought to life consistently - from our website and digital campaigns to trade show booths, event signage, and branded merchandise.
In this role, you'll be the steward of how Canals looks and feels to the world. You'll work closely with stakeholders across the company, including Marketing, Product, and Sales, to ensure our brand shows up with quality and consistency.

- Design across a wide range of channels and formats: website, digital ads, email, social, sales collateral, trade show booths, event signage, branded merchandise, and more
- Art direct and manage external creative partners and agencies
- Develop and maintain brand guidelines, templates, and asset libraries that enable the broader team to work on-brand without you in the room
- Build self-serve design systems and templates that empower non-designers to work on-brand independently
- Transform product screenshots and UI into polished, story-driven marketing visuals
- Serve as the brand resource for the product design team
- Manage multiple projects and deadlines across a fast-moving marketing org

- Proven ability to art direct external agencies, photographers, and creative partners
- Experience building brand guidelines, design systems, and self-serve asset libraries

- Excellent collaboration skills; you work well with marketers, PMs, and non-designers and can translate feedback into great work
