Remote
Graphic Designer (12 mos. Contract)
About this role
Reports to: Creative Lead Location: Remote (Canada); West Coast preferred or PST hours required. About the role NETGEAR is building an in-house creative team to own campaign, web, and social work end to end. The team is small on purpose: a Creative Lead, a UI Designer, a Graphic Designer, and a copywriter. This work supports the Consumer-facing side of NETGEAR. You will be the main person responsible for execution and production across what the team makes: web assets, social, paid ads, campaign work, email templates, retail signage, and event booth graphics.
In a given month you might move from a paid social set to a booth graphic to a product landing page. Everything runs to established NETGEAR brand guidelines. The craft is in making distinctive work within those rules rather than around them. You will also work with the Creative Lead on campaign concepts and help shape where the brand goes next. We are looking for someone who brings ideas, not only someone who executes them well.
What you will do - Design assets across web, social, paid ads, email templates, campaign work, retail signage, event graphics, and sales collateral, working from briefs and alongside the UI Designer and Creative Lead. - Contribute creative ideas. Bring concepts into campaign discussions with the Creative Lead, and propose directions of your own. - Adapt campaign concepts into full asset sets across formats, sizes, and channels.
- Work to NETGEAR brand guidelines across everything you produce, applying them consistently and helping extend the system as new needs come up. - Prepare and hand off production-ready files for both screen and print. - Use AI tools as a working part of your process, for ideation, iteration, and production. Fluency is welcome, but a genuine interest in the tools and a willingness to build them into how you work matters more.
What we do expect is the judgment to recognize when AI output falls short of the standard required and needs to be reworked by hand. - Collaborate directly with project stakeholders across marketing, product, and web, and incorporate their feedback into revisions. - Work closely with our Sr. Integrated Marketing Manager, who is responsible for global campaigns, so that what you produce fits the wider campaign plan. What we are looking for - 4+ years of professional graphic design experience, ideally in-house or brand-side.
