We’re seeking a Canva Designer to create high-quality, editable designs in Canva for Design Pickle’s customers. Designers in this role work exclusively in Canva and are expected to deeply understand its full feature set.
Requirements
- Create, adapt, and deliver design requests exclusively in Canva, including social media graphics, marketing collateral, presentations, pitch decks, and print-ready files.
- Rebuild and convert files from external formats (PDFs, Adobe files, etc.) into fully editable Canva templates with proper structure, fonts, and design elements.
- Use advanced Canva tools such as Magic Resize, Smartmockups, and Brand Hub to ensure designs are scalable, platform-ready, and brand-compliant.
- Set up reusable design systems in Canva with locked elements, text styles, and layout guides to support scalable workflows and client flexibility.
- Coordinate with Project Managers, Art Directors, Team Coordinators, and Quality Specialists to align on project requirements and ensure smooth delivery.
- Provide clear, context-rich communication through internal tools and delivery notes (direct client interaction is typically limited to handoff messaging).
- Utilize Canva features like Version History, Comments, and Folders to support collaboration and maintain organized file structures.
- Navigate Canva’s limitations (e.g., typography control, animation timing, asset management) with creative problem-solving and platform-native workarounds.
- Leverage Canva’s built-in animation and video features to create dynamic content such as animated social posts, short-form videos, motion presentations, and simple promotional assets using timeline editing, transitions, and element animations.
- Stay up-to-date with the latest software and techniques to ensure the highest quality output.
