Joining Relay means an opportunity to make a huge impact building solutions with the potential to reach 29 million small businesses across North America. If you thrive on growth and playing to win, we want to hear from you!

You'll work closely with our Senior Brand Designer and our marketing team. Ideally, we have about 30 hours per week of work for the next couple of months, but we can be flexible about how these hours are achieved depending on your skillset. This is a multi-disciplinary, fast-paced role; ideally for someone seasoned in their craft and comfortable with quick turnarounds and completing skilled work with direct guidance.

You have excellent communication skills (verbal and written); you can present ideas with clarity and confidence
You are a “builder” who is comfortable (and enjoys!) working in an environment that’s fast paced, quickly changing and sometimes ambiguous
