About the role
Do you want to watch your community change, or do you want to be the one to shape it ?
Because we’re hoping you’re here for the latter.
Join Aryze as a Graphic Designer .
Why Aryze?
Building communities is about more than simply building homes. That’s why we foster a strong vision for what a city can be—and act on it.
Recognized nationally for our innovative approach to development, Aryze is a dedicated team of home builders, urban planners and urbanists, all deeply committed to increasing the quality of communities across Greater Victoria and beyond. This approach has resulted in award-winning projects like: Pearl Block—missing middle townhomes on a challenging triangular lot; Rotunda—architecturally-significant condos in a neighbourhood with room to grow; and Tiny Homes—transitional housing units built from repurposed shipping containers for some of our community’s most vulnerable.
If you thrive in a collaborative environment where your ideas matter, join our growing team. Together, we’re city-building for the better.
Who are we?
We are a local Victoria-based group of next-generation leaders trying to build homes, but really, we like to think of ourselves as entrepreneurs with an underlying goal of building better communities. What began with building a swim dock and a floating tree in the Gorge Waterway (and engaging in a political conversation or two) has grown into a mission: to demystify and disrupt the real estate industry by making room for more housing in Victoria neighbourhoods with room to grow.
We believe that every neighbourhood should have diverse housing types and tenures for all incomes and demographics. A densified, compact, walkable lifestyle is critical to solving our climate and housing crisis; all while creating more livable and healthier communities.
While we bring a number of innovative infill development projects to market, Aryze’s earliest roots are in quality and unique construction. Our focus to build with the highest standards of craft, design and efficiency has distinguished our homes from others on the block.
Who are you?
You have a passion for taking on challenging projects that are unique—sometimes a bit weird—and delivered in an entrepreneurial environment where excellence is expected. You are a blend of both creative and strategic, distilling big ideas and solving problems with good design. You stay up to date with current design trends, honour the sanctity of brand guidelines and appreciate the value of a strong creative brief. Most of all, you want to contribute in a place where you’re more than an employee number; a place you love working.
Still here? Good. Because if this resonates with you, we’d love to hear about it in your cover letter.
Reporting to the Marketing & Communications Manager and collaborating with the Senior Graphic Designer, the Graphic Designer manages and executes project-specific materials for our development, sales and leasing and marketing teams. You will produce strategic designs across digital, print, social and physical mediums while maintaining existing brand guidelines and standards. This is a casual role offering a flexible schedule—ideal for a freelancer or designer looking for impactful, supplementally-paced work. All functions and responsibilities are performed in accordance with Aryze's values and beliefs.
The ideal candidate has 4+ years of experience in Graphic Design, and additional experience in fields related to advertising or marketing with a portfolio of materials to demonstrate your design abilities. We will consider applicants with less experience but who have the drive and energy to help make our projects a success.
