SOCKBOX is growing and as a result, we are looking for an experienced Graphic Designer.
About you
When your friends and family describe you they would say you are fun, people driven and inspire awesomeness in those around you. You live and breathe design. You have experience working with people and ensuring you exceed customer and member satisfaction. You know the value of yes!
In previous roles you have worked independently, and with various technology solutions. You are familiar with startup businesses and understand that sometimes work takes place outside of the norm. Mostly, you are really excited to be part of a growing business and team.
In a “people over profit” world, you’re a leader, while still understanding that profit is needed to make the world a better place. You’ve got some familiarity with applications like WooCommerce, Klaviyo, Google Docs & Sheets, Microsoft Excel and Slack. Adobe Illustrator, InDesign, and Photoshop are words you speak every day.

About us
Our founder Marshall began SOCKBOX while working in Corporate Calgary. He was bored with the day to day suit and tie and was looking for a way to have a bit more fun with the corporate uniform. On a normal day at work Marshall decided to hit a well known big box store to find some colourful, fun socks to brighten his day. He discovered a messy, overwhelming environment and no one to help him make a choice. Once the perfect pair of socks had been obtained the lineup was long and he needed to be back to work – consequently he left without the socks. It was because of this experience that SOCKBOX was born! Marshall knows that anyone can send you socks but as a team we are going to deliver awesomeness with your socks.
What makes us unique? We source awesome socks to help brighten up our members sock drawer and make their day awesome! We’re high touch and community focused. SOCKBOX is based in Canada and each month, automagically, our members get a little bit of awesome in their mail!
