Biro Creative is looking for a full-time Web Designer to help meet the needs of our growing slate of progressive, values-based clients.

That's right, picture yourself working in a stunning character studio in Gastown, Vancouver with a fabulous and talented creative team. Our firm is young, small and tons of fun. We believe in a forty-hour work week and feeling good about every client and project we take on. The work we do is creative, challenging and energy-filled. Every day you'll be designing mission-critical sites and materials for an inspiring mix of high profile, values-based clients, such as Greenpeace, the United Nations Foundation, William J. (Bill) Clinton Foundation and the 100-Mile Diet.

• Creating attention-grabbing, action-inducing web banners and e-newsletters (again, no coding needed);
• Ensuring every project, big or small, that leaves our doors is a thing of beauty.
• Developing visual campaign concepts and carrying them through production;
• Assisting with artwork for interactive web tools and infographics;
• Working directly with clients on branding and identity development;
• Producing print materials, from posters to brochures to stationery to business cards.

Qualifications

• Advanced knowledge of type and image, and their application;
• At least two years of design experience and a knock-out portfolio to show for it;
• Rock solid web production skills (i.e. colour and graphic optimization for different media);
• Deadline-orientation with the ability to prioritize and accomplish multiple projects within tight timeframes;
• Ability to work directly with clients, leading them through every phase of the design process;
• Advanced Photoshop, Illustrator, Fireworks (we can help with this one).

This is a key, full-time position in a unique, fun and growing company working at the cutting-edge of business and social change. We're an easy-going, but hard-working team that takes huge pride in our web design, print design and interactive projects for socially conscious clients.
