Brand Designer

About CoLab

At CoLab, we want to help mechanical engineering teams bring life-changing products to market years sooner.

CoLab is a cloud based platform for engineering design review. We make it easy for subject matter experts (SMEs) across your business to access, evaluate, and comment on 2D drawings and 3D models. Our built-in AI peer checker, AutoReview, can analyze designs for you and spot common errors or non-compliance with your standards and guidelines. AutoReview creates markups and comments on your files, in context – just like a human checker.

With CoLab, human SMEs and AI work together to help you make better decisions and improve designs faster. We automatically capture knowledge from across your global business that would otherwise be buried in emails, spreadsheets, slide decks, and unknown locations in Sharepoint or PLM. Then, we make sure every lesson learned and every design guideline is applied exactly when it matters.

Companies like Johnson Controls, Komatsu, Schaeffler, and Polaris have launched products 40% faster, cut BOM costs by 50%, and reduced quality escapes by 15% in 1 year.

About the Role

CoLab is looking for a Brand Designer to join our growing creative team. This role is primarily focused on digital design — think research reports, blog visuals, sales decks, digital ads, and landing pages — with the occasional physical project like event booths, swag, or outdoor ads.

You’ll be joining a creative team that already includes a Brand Design Lead, a Senior Brand Designer, and a Multimedia Producer. That means you’ll have space to bring your own ideas to life and a strong team to back you up when you’re stuck or iterating through feedback.

You’ll work closely with product marketers and product designers who know our tech and our customers inside out. You’ll also be part of a company that genuinely values great design, with leadership support for brand investment and a clear understanding that great creative drives business results.

If you’re excited to sharpen your skills in a fast-moving, collaborative environment where you can clearly see the impact of your work, this might be the role for you.

Our Ideal Candidate

• You have 3+ years of experience designing effective creative for marketing teams. You can manage your own design projects from brief to final file, and you’re energized by producing work that not only looks great, but drives results.

  You’ll thrive here if:

  • You enjoy working on a variety of digital formats (with some physical thrown in)
  • You’re collaborative, but don’t need constant direction
  • You care as much about how something performs as how it looks
  • You want to work at a company where design is taken seriously

Responsibilities

• Design and produce marketing creative across digital channels (website, social, paid ads, email, research reports, and more)
• Create sales and customer-facing collateral such as slide decks and internal docs
• Collaborate with content, digital marketing, product marketing, and product design to bring campaigns to life
• Contribute to creative strategy across brand and marketing efforts
• Jump into occasional physical projects like swag, trade show booths, or billboards
• Track asset performance and use insights to guide future creative decisions

Qualifications

• 3+ years of experience designing high-quality marketing creative
• Proficient in Figma and comfortable working in shared design systems
• Experience with digital ad design and marketing campaigns
• Able to manage multiple design projects independently
• Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to find ways to execute on ideas with design constraints
• Strong attention to visual detail and consistency

Extra Details

• This is a full-time, permanent position with a competitive compensation package that includes stock options.
• Extended health and benefits package, including unlimited paid vacation and RRSP matching.
• Flexible remote opportunities across North America, with a hybrid office hub in St. John’s, NL.
