• Excellent skills in Adobe CS including Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign on a Mac OSX platform.

What we’ll bring

• Competitive salary, with a target bonus and impressive benefits package
• Flexible working arrangements
• Wellness programs like yoga, Employee Assistance Programs and other initiatives
• Paid training, tuition and mentoring programs to support your development

We take great pride in our company culture, and love working in a dynamic, ambitious and fun work environment. We see our success and growth as a partnership and believe that people thrive on trust, freedom and responsibility. We work collaboratively, share openly, don’t believe in long working hours, and know that taking a break or working from home can lead to better work.
