Graphic Designer
We are on a mission to build one of the best paid advertising agencies in Canada. No overworked and understaffed teams working on a brand. We have all been in that agency life and it's not for us.

Take Some Risk Inc. is looking for a Graphic Designer who wants to own and be responsible for helping brand use design and marketing creative to stand out and gain a competive edge when advertising online.
You can be based anywhere in Canada. You don't need to be in Vancouver or Toronto. We have been working as a remote team the last 3 years and have processes in place to support a remote setup. However, there is always room for improvement and we want someone who can help make our processes and frameworks even better. This frees up your time to work on bigger projects and be more strategic with clients. This is a hands-on role and you won't be managing people all day.

- Understand what creative is working and communicate that with client. This is in partnership with our paid ads team
- Identify new and emerging technology, best practices, and capabilities to help our clients stay ahead of the competition
