About Polaron
Polaron Energy Corp is one of Canada's leading residential solar providers, on a mission to make clean, renewable energy accessible and affordable for homeowners nationwide. We've helped thousands of Canadians cut their energy costs while building a more sustainable future.
We're a fast-growing, collaborative team of sales professionals, engineers, marketers, and creatives united by a passion for innovation and impact. Design sits at the heart of how we shape our brand, our campaigns, and every customer touchpoint.
About the Opportunity
We're looking for a versatile, detail-driven designer to partner with our creative and marketing team on a long-term contract basis. This engagement is ideal for a visual storyteller who thrives across digital, print, video, and UX/UI work.
You'll retain full autonomy over how you approach and execute your work, while collaborating closely with our marketing team on-site. We've found that in-person collaboration sharpens creative output and speeds up feedback loops — designers on this team tell us proximity to marketing makes their work stronger and their projects move faster. Your designs will directly fuel lead generation, brand development, and customer engagement across every channel.
