About the Company
Our client is a global leader in premium, custom sports apparel. The organization partners with top professional sports leagues, teams, and brands to create high-quality, innovative products that sit at the intersection of sport, culture, and fashion.
The Role
We’re looking for a Senior Graphic Artist with a strong, distinctive visual voice and a natural connection to sport, street culture, and pop culture. This role is about creating bold, intentional graphics rooted in sport but expressed through a contemporary, elevated lens.
Apparel experience is not essential. What matters most is visual instinct, strong illustration skills, and the ability to produce work that feels confident, modern, and culturally relevant.
At a senior level, you will also own projects end-to-end — bringing structure, clarity, and creative leadership to the process.
Key Responsibilities
Create original illustrations, typography, and graphic systems inspired by sport and culture
Develop strong graphic concepts that translate seamlessly across apparel, campaigns, and brand touch points
Interpret creative direction into refined, high-impact visuals
Own projects from concept through to final delivery, ensuring timelines and quality standards are consistently met
Partner closely with Product teams to bring ideas to life
Provide and receive constructive feedback while maintaining a clear creative point of view
Stay deeply connected to sport, athletes, streetwear, art, music, and broader cultural movements
Qualifications
Strong foundation in graphic design and illustration
Advanced proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite (Illustrator is essential; Photoshop and InDesign are required)
Expertise in vector illustration, custom marks/logos, and typographic systems
A refined yet expressive aesthetic, knowing when to push boundaries and when to exercise restraint
Strong conceptual thinking that goes beyond surface-level styling
Cultural fluency in sport and street fashion
Excellent project management skills with the ability to handle multiple projects, prioritize effectively, and drive work forward independently
A portfolio that demonstrates original thinking, visual restraint, and a clear, distinctive point of view
Nice to Have
Experience designing for apparel or product
Familiarity with print production, materials, and manufacturing processes
Motion graphics, experimental, or mixed-media experience
Sensitivity to how graphics perform on-body and in motion
Salary: $65,000 - $75,000 CAD
Onsite 5x per week in Richmond Hill
