You will have the opportunity to work on a variety of projects, from brand spots to shareable social loops, to educational videos and more. Reporting to the design studio lead, you’ll be a key member of the team and collaborate with in-house illustrators and designers to compose, illustrate, animate and optimize graphic, video and playable advertisements for 1Password.

This is a Remote opportunity within Canada and the US.

What we're looking for:

• Begin to take on tasks that will help you to learn and grow within the 1Password style.

What you can expect by month 3:

• Act as a design resource to others in the organization, taking briefs from team leads and creating illustrations and animations as needed. These projects may have tight deadlines.
• Start expressing your own creative voice: you’ll get the opportunity to give your own creative input and suggest content we should be creating in the future.

What you can expect by month 6:

• You’ll be fully up to speed and a key part of the design and video teams, taking ownership of areas that interest you and pushing their quality forward to create even better content.
