Graphic Designer- (2-month Contract)
Messagepoint is seeking a detail-oriented Graphic Designer for a 2-month contract role, with potential for extension. This position will support the creation of high-quality, brand-compliant marketing assets for a growing SaaS company. Reporting to the Chief Marketing Officer and working closely with the Creative Director, the Graphic Designer will influence the brand and product perception by communicating complex ideas clearly to prospects and clients. The role involves working across various digital and client-facing materials, requiring a strong visual eye, precision, and the ability to work within established design systems and templates. Success depends on a collaborative and proactive mindset, managing multiple priorities, and a sharp attention to detail in composition, hierarchy, typography, and spacing. The work will be crucial in supporting growth, engagement, and customer understanding during a key company evolution stage.
Key responsibilities include creating and refining marketing assets such as website graphics, sales collateral, presentations, and product visuals. The designer will use Adobe Photoshop for advanced compositing, masking, retouching, and UI cleanup, and design vector-based illustrations and icons in Adobe Illustrator aligned with brand guidelines. Updating and adapting multi-page layouts in Adobe InDesign, including translated or localized content, and preparing and exporting web-ready assets with proper sizing, naming conventions, and optimization are also essential tasks. Collaboration with marketing, product, and content teams to bring campaigns and product stories to life, maintaining consistency across all assets while contributing to the evolution of the brand system, and supporting video production and post-production, including editing webinars, screen recordings, and marketing videos, are key aspects of the role. Enhancing video content with graphics, captions, and light motion elements using tools such as After Effects is also expected.
The ideal candidate will have advanced proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign) and strong experience with Photoshop compositing, including masking, retouching, and combining UI elements into polished visuals. The ability to design clean, scalable vector graphics and conceptual illustrations, experience producing client-facing and marketing materials, preferably in a SaaS or B2B environment, and experience with video editing and post-production, particularly webinar and screen recording content, are important qualifications. A strong understanding of web vs. print asset requirements (formats, resolution, responsiveness), experience working within brand guidelines and structured design systems, high attention to detail, including typography, spacing, and visual hierarchy, and the ability to manage multiple projects and meet deadlines in a fast-paced environment are also required. Candidates should be prepared to share work samples that demonstrate, at minimum: UI or product screenshot retouching and compositing, vector illustration or icon-based conceptual imagery, and multi-page document layout. Experience with SaaS or technology marketing materials is strongly preferred.
Additional desirable skills include familiarity with Webflow or similar CMS platforms, experience with motion design (After Effects, Lottie, or similar), experience working with bilingual or French-language content, and an understanding of how to stage and simplify SaaS UI for marketing purposes.
