Graphic Designer (Canada) - 100% Remote

What is the role?

dotCMS is a cloud-based Digital Experience platform that is changing how enterprises do digital. We seek a talented and creative Graphic Designerto join our growing marketing team at dotCMS.

As a Graphic Designer, you will play a crucial role in visually unifying the dotCMS brand and supporting the marketing team in telling the dotCMS story through creative, visual design to help meet business goals. This is a unique opportunity to work with some of our existing brand guidelines but largely take the lead in crafting and owning the brand identity across the company.

We're proud to be 100% remote! dotCMS has been fully remote for over a decade and as an employee, you may work remotely from any location that is compatible with standard U.S. business hours (unless specified otherwise). Please note this is a full-time position, and we are unable to sponsor or take over sponsorship of an employment Visa at this time.

What is dotCMS?

Founded in 2003, dotCMS is the most agile, scalable and secure content management system for enterprise. Built on leading Java technology, dotCMS is an open-source, hybrid-headless content management system that gives developers the flexibility of a headless CMS while equipping marketers with no-code visual content authoring. Whether you're building a network of global websites, an employee intranet, a customer portal, or a single-page web application, dotCMS helps you manage content, images, and assets in one centralized location and deliver them to any channel. Some of our notable customers include Telus, Standard & Poors, Hospital Corporation of America, Royal Bank of Canada, Deutsche Bank, Comcast, Vodafone, Thomson Reuters, Dairy Queen, Lennox International, Chewy.com, and O’Reilly Autoparts.

Who are we, really?

At “the dot,” you’ll find a diverse team of authentic individuals who share the goal of building the most agile, scalable, and secure content management system, delighting customers, and having a lot of fun doing it. We’re a curious, innovative, and collaborative group that works from anywhere, having been 100% remote long before a pandemic required it. Working remotely is in our DNA, whether it’s to enjoy the beautiful views of new countries or just more “you” time outside of work. And since we don’t gather around the water cooler in an office, we like to gather around the cool waters of Costa Rica a few times a year for our regular off-sites, where we blow off some steam and re-energize as a group.

What you’ll bring to the team:

• Work closely with the marketing team to take written and spoken ideas and find compelling and creative ways to present content that resonates with our audiences.
• Visually bring together the dotCMS brand, ensuring consistency across all company marketing materials, including brochures, ads, banners, emails, graphics, presentations, and other external-facing assets.
• Create and update brand assets, including icons, style guides, and brand guidelines.
• Design webpage layouts and work with devs on implementation.
• Establish design philosophy and process at dotCMS.

Why we get excited about you:

• 3+ years of professional graphic design experience within a software company or creative agency specializing in SaaS companies.
• Bachelor’s degree (or equivalent) in Graphic Design, Art, or a related field.
• Proficiency in graphic design tools such as Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign) and Figma.
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills.
• Ability to manage multiple projects and meet deadlines.
• Experience creating animations and editing video content is a plus.
• Experience managing agencies or design teams is a plus.

Why should you join?
