We're hiring a Senior Brand Designer to join our Creative team — someone who has moved beyond executing great work and is ready to shape what great looks like. This is a role for a designer who leads with strategy, earns trust in the room, and raises the bar for the work around them.

This role is available to candidates in Toronto, Calgary, and Vancouver. 

You're a senior creative who's done the reps and knows it, ideally across both agency and in-house environments. You've led complex, multi-channel brand work from brief to delivery, held your own in rooms with marketing leadership, and built systems that outlast any single project. You're not just executing a brand, you're evolving it. You think in systems and long-term direction, and you bring enough craft authority that your feedback makes the work better, not just different. You're ready to mentor, to shape culture, and to be a voice on the future of Clio's brand.

• Set the visual direction on brand campaigns and multi-channel work as you lead the concept while executing within it.

• Own the full arc of complex projects: stakeholder alignment, creative decision-making, and final delivery. You are accountable for the calls, not just the craft.

• Drive the evolution of Clio's visual brand, identifying where it needs to grow and leading it there.

• Architect visual identities and design systems for Clio sub-brands, building frameworks the broader team can scale from.

• Shape creative strategy alongside cross-functional leaders in product marketing, demand gen, and events as you contribute beyond the brief.

• Mentor junior and intermediate designers through feedback, process, and example while raising the team's high bar for their craft.

• 5-8 years of brand design experience, with meaningful time across both agency and in-house environments

• A portfolio that shows creative leadership — not just range, but evidence of direction-setting, systems thinking, and work that moved a brand forward

• Proven ability to present and defend creative decisions to marketing leadership with clarity and conviction

• Deep proficiency in Figma and Adobe Creative Cloud, and a point of view on how tools should serve the work

• Experience building design systems that others depend on and scale from

• A track record of mentoring designers and shaping how a team works — not just what it produces

• Comfort with AI design tools (Midjourney, Krea, or similar) as part of a senior creative practice

• Deep typographic instincts, you have strong opinions and can back them up

• Experience directing motion design — storyboarding concepts, defining look and feel, and guiding animators to deliver work that's on-brand and intentional

• Fluency in presentation design (Keynote, Google Slides)

• Experience leading brand work in SaaS, legal tech, or another complex, regulated industry

• A history of owning agency relationships or leading external creative partners
