Senior Brand Designer

Renga is looking to hire a Senior Brand Designer to oversee and help deliver on our branding projects. Many of our clients are looking for innovative ways for their brand to reach the right people, we’re looking for someone who can help translate brand intentions into effective visual assets. Your job would be to take our brand strategy and make it come alive in spectacular and intuitive ways.

This is a role for someone who understands client work and deadlines. Agency experience is preferred, as we often work on projects as a team.

Renga is a small brand strategy & design studio from the Toronto Area. We get excited about building brands for our clients and launching them into the world. We are a remote-friendly team, meaning we work in various locations. When the world opens back up, we do enjoy collaborating on projects face-to-face as well.

We love working with people who bring a unique set of interests or experiences to the creative table. Your ability to both adapt to and shape our process is essential.

About the Job

A Senior Brand Designer at Renga is someone who has a gift of translating emotion and intention into compelling visuals. Best part, you’ll have the opportunity to work with multiple brands throughout the year, big and small. Your role will involve working closely with our VP of Design to ensure proper research, strategy, and design are applied to our branding projects. Day to day you will be building out colour palettes, logos, typefaces, icons, stylescapes and all other necessary design elements for the brand. Also, we are looking for a great communicator. This role will be client facing at times. We need to know you’ll be able to lead discussions and presentations throughout each project.

Here’s a few examples of brands we’ve been working on lately to give you an idea of what you might be doing:

• Rebranding a natural skin care line.
• Brand design for a financial savings app.
• Brand, packaging, and bottle design for a new Rum company.
• Brand strategy and messaging for one of Canada’s largest digital banks.

Obviously this is just a small sampling. We’ve got some really exciting client work coming up that we think you’ll enjoy.

About You

You’re curious about the world. Curiosity is a core value here at Renga and it’s something we look for in all our people. The desire to want to know HOW and WHY are the questions that lead our process and allow us to do our best work.

You’re confident in what you do. We want someone who believes in their ideas, who is proud of their work, and excited to share it with the team for feedback.

You’re experienced. We need someone that has a proven track record of building and launching brands.

You’re able to adapt. At Renga we are constantly learning. It could be a new tool, a new industry, or working with a new colleague. We need someone that can handle change and thrive in it.

You’re comfortable with a remote team. We have a couple spaces where we gather to do in-person work, but we also collaborate through Slack, Notion, Figma and several other tools. We want someone who can work in a decentralized environment and make themselves known.

Why Apply?

You’re looking to join a small team. We’re not a huge agency. To be honest, we’d prefer to stay that way. We believe we are most effective with a quality team of people who love working together.

You hate micromanagement. We thrive in a flexible work environment, giving you the space to do your best work in the way that fits you. We want to hire people who are good at what they do and then trust them to do it.

You want to take on more responsibility. As a relatively young team, everyone plays a role in shaping our processes and laying the groundwork for the next 5–10 years. We’re not looking for people who aren’t excited about our potential.

You want to expand and develop your skillset. Maybe you’ve been doing the same few tasks over and over again in your current role and are looking to do more. We want to make space for you to take on jobs that stretch you and help you become better.
