JOEY Restaurant Group is looking for an exceptional Graphic Designer who can bring their creative skills and production expertise to support the department in delivering first-class brand experiences across all touchpoints, engaging content, and impactful designs that drive marketing and sales goals across the organization.
As a Graphic Designer, your main responsibilities will include leading creative and production for projects and campaigns across all three brands — JOEY Restaurants, LOCAL Public Eatery, and SALTLIK.

Above all, the ideal candidate is passionate about staying on top of the latest graphic design trends and translating them uniquely across various mediums. This is a fixed-term, 18-month contract, based in-office in Vancouver, BC.
