Re-posted October 4, 2007

We are inviting applications from individuals with training and a strong portfolio in graphic design for the web and print. This position is based in our Invermere, BC office.

We are a small, full-service marketing firm and design agency, producing websites, print materials and advertising for a wide variety of clients in the Kootenay/Rockies Region (ranging from Panorama Mountain Village to local small businesses). Our workload varies at times from being web-intensive to print-intensive, so your role will change accordingly. We anticipate a mix of approximately 75% web and 25% print.

This position reports directly to the agency's Owner/Creative Director.

Main responsibilities:

  • Provide creative input and design websites based on site plans and business purpose/branding notes provided by the Creative Director.
  • Work closely with our Web Applications Developer to integrate dynamic content, and to provide graphic elements for dynamic sites.
  • Render standards-compliant websites in HTML and/or Flash, and create cascading style sheets and all required graphic elements. Integrate supplied images and copy.
  • Prepare print collateral, advertising, signage, interior communications and other print/web materials, and integrate branding across all media.
  • Work with our senior graphic designer and creative coordinator to allocate print design workload (by task-specific docket or by client, as appropriate to the situation), and to prepare a workflow plan.
  • Carry out pre-launch web testing in various operating systems and browsers.
  • Act as Webmaster for harrisonmckay.com and our client's HTML/Flash sites. Redesign and maintain the Portfolio section of harrisonmckay.com.

Other desirable strengths:

  • A mature, service-oriented attitude.
  • The flexibility to quickly change gears between projects, and the mindset to enjoy the variety.
  • The ability to self-manage to meet project deadlines.
  • The ability to maintain total confidentiality, and respect the trust placed in us by our clients.
  • Well-developed listening and communication skills.

Technical skills

  • Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Acrobat), Dreamweaver, Flash.
  • HTML and CSS.

What’s in it for you?

  • A competitive salary.
  • A relaxed work environment with flexible hours and great co-workers.
  • Live and work in a beautiful community. Only three hours from Calgary, the area is a four-season recreational paradise featuring world-class skiing and golfing, natural mineral hot springs, fresh water lakes, and outdoor adventure possibilities (more about the Columbia Valley).
  • The opportunity to be valued for your creative input and high standards as a member of the region's premier design agency.

A solid portfolio is crucial. Candidates may be asked to complete a small assignment.

Harrison McKay Communications is an equal opportunity employer and strives to be community oriented. A strong community orientation in our team members is desirable.
