Visual Development Jobs in Ontario (NOW HIRING)

What we are looking for:

We are seeking a multidisciplinary AI Designer who is excited by emerging technology and the future of creative work. This role is for someone who thinks in pictures, motion, interactions, experiences, words, and sound. You should be as comfortable designing a beautifully crafted poster, social asset, or visual system as you are exploring how a new AI capability might show up in the world. You use design craft, motion sensibility, and emerging AI tools to concept, prototype, and create high-quality visual work for one of the world's most influential brands.
 

This is a hands-on creative role for someone who leads through making. The right candidate is part designer, part motion graphics maker, and part AI craftsperson, with the ability to turn loose ideas into tangible creative outputs quickly. You should be able to design, art direct, prompt, animate, edit, prototype, refine, and present work with strong taste and a sharp eye for craft.

You will use AI platforms, motion tools, and design software to develop visual concepts, proof-of-concepts, campaign explorations, storyboards, social ideas, video frames, product demos, motion tests, and presentation-ready creative. You should be curious about new tools, fast in your process, and thoughtful about how AI can improve both the work and the way the work gets made.

The strongest candidate will bring sharp design taste, strong motion instincts, and a clear point of view on how AI can elevate the work. You should be able to turn a rough idea into visual concepts that feel crafted, premium, and easy to understand, and know how to raise the level of existing work through stronger design, layout, motion, and visual storytelling.

You will collaborate with internal creative, brand, strategy, product marketing, production, and agency teams, bringing ideas to life through making. You should be able to take direction, build on feedback, generate options, pressure-test ideas, and help the team see what is possible through visuals, prototypes, motion explorations, edits, and AI-enabled creative.

We are looking to hire this role as a full-time contractor for 3 months, with the possibility of transitioning to full-time employment upon successful completion of the contract.

• Use strong design craft, motion sensibility, and a sharp creative eye to create visual concepts across digital, social, video, campaign, and presentation work.

• Leverage AI tools and design platforms, including Adobe Creative Suite (After Effects, Adobe Premiere Pro, Photoshop), Figma, Gemiini / Nanobana, Google Flow, Antigravity, and other emerging creative tools, to concept, design, animate, edit, prototype, and refine creative ideas.

• Create AI-generated visuals, style frames, motion tests, mood boards, proof-of-concepts that help pressure-test ideas and creative concepts to support faster decision-making.

• Develop multiple creative directions quickly, then refine selected routes with attention to craft, clarity, movement, and brand fit.

• Support a high bar for visual quality, motion craft, creative experimentation, and brand consistency across campaigns and channels.

• Adapt ideas for the strengths of each campaign platform, especially digital, social, video, and motion-led formats.
