Creative Designer

Opportunity is not evenly distributed. Shopify puts independence within reach for anyone with a dream to start a business. Since 2006, we’ve grown to over 10,000 employees and generated over $496 billion in sales for millions of merchants in 175 countries.

This is life-defining work that directly impacts people’s lives as much as it transforms your own. This is putting the power of the few in the hands of the many, is a future with more voices rather than fewer, and is creating more choices instead of an elite option.

Moving at our pace brings a lot of change, complexity, ambiguity—and a little bit of chaos. We thrive on that and are comfortable being uncomfortable. That means Shopify is not the right place for everyone.

Before you apply, consider if you:

• Care deeply about what you do
• Excel by seeking professional and personal hypergrowth
• Are resilient and resourceful in face of ambiguity and thrive on (rather than endure) change
• Bring critical thought and opinion
• Embrace differences and disagreement to get s**t done and move forward
• Work digital-first for your daily work

This role will join Shopify's Brand and Audience Expansion creative team. This team is responsible for crafting all brand creative work, ensuring it supports the team's overarching mission to ensure the world knows, loves, and defaults to Shopify.

In this role, you'll be responsible for a wide variety of design work, from billboards featuring brand collabs, to designing for large-scale IRL events/activations, to designing custom print / packaging, crafting pixel perfect digital experiences, and much more!

Specifically, you'll be doing the following

• Flexing your strong brand and visual design chops daily, maintaining craft excellence down to the pixel/letter at all times
• Being a daily idea generator and champion what the future of creative looks like
• Being obsessed with honing your craft and constantly staying on top of emerging creative technologies
• Designing compelling, buzzworthy creative ranging from billboards and IRL activations to websites and print campaigns
• Demonstrating exemplary storytelling and presentation skills, bringing creative visions to life
• Championing projects to ensure that they are progressing at a high level of craft excellence from start to finish
• Being a team player and demonstrating stellar collaboration skills via working with a blended team of creatives and marketing partners
• Helping the entire team grow and become more effective by pairing and collaborating with other creatives, sharing insights, new tools, and best practices

We'll expect you to have

• Proven experience crafting world-class creative and solving design challenges of all shapes and sizes. A must-see in your portfolio.
• Demonstrated experience and comfort with creative technologies, bringing a passion for building bold experiences with generative AI (or better yet, share with us what we don’t know). A must-see in your portfolio.
• Experience wearing multiple hats, championing all facets of design (visual/brand design, print design, and digital design, UX/UI, motion design). 
• Proficiency with design & prototyping tools such as, but not limited to, Figma and Adobe Creative Suite. 

If you also have

• Knowledge of Cinema4D and After Effects, we'd definitely love to hear from you!

We know that looking for a new role can be both exciting and time-consuming, and we truly appreciate your effort. We're looking forward to learning more about you and your interest in joining the team.
