The ideal candidate has experience in both agency and in-house environments, has led complex, multi-channel brand work from concept to delivery, and can build systems that last.

The position is available to candidates in Toronto, Calgary, and Vancouver.

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)

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.
