Outwitly Inc. is seeking a full-time graphic designer who is creative, detailed-oriented, and an exceptional visual communicator to join our 100% remote team.
We are a boutique consulting firm specializing in UX and service design. Our team is small and tight knit, but growing fast! We are looking for someone who is excited to help us continue that upward momentum.
We are looking for candidates to work remotely in the EST or CST time zones. Candidates must be able to work and attend meetings during regular business hours M-F.
While Outwitly is a fully remote company and all our employees work from home, we are hoping to find a candidate who is located in Winnipeg with access to a personal vehicle to occasionally work in person with our Social Media and Communications Lead. Note: We are still open to applications from candidates who are located elsewhere in Canada and would work 100% remotely –but some preference may be given to local Winnipeg candidates.
The ideal candidate has strong visual design skills and a passion for branding and social media. You’ll work closely with our Communications and Social Media Lead on all things related to Outwitly’s Instagram, Pinterest, and LinkedIn accounts. You will also be responsible for video and photo editing instagram posts, stories and reels as needed. You’ll help to design our e-books, downloadables, corporate report and document templates, and the Outwitly newsletter and blog. Secondary tasks may include developing visuals/icons for our website, creating design diagrams, and visualizing artifacts such as personas and journey maps for client projects. You’ll also help us to visualize proposals, team resumes, and portfolios in Outwitly’s templates.
