Marketing Graphic Designer (Kingston)

About Patry Group Patry Group of Companies is a privately held organization headquartered in Kingston, Ontario, with a diverse portfolio spanning residential and commercial real estate development, property management, and luxury hospitality. Our properties reflect a commitment to quality, design, and the guest and resident experience. We are a tight, entrepreneurial team that moves quickly and takes pride in the calibre of work we put into the world. The Opportunity We are looking for an experienced individual to support our marketing and brand initiatives on a project-by-project basis. This is an independent contractor engagement — ideal for a designer who runs their own practice, wants creative variety, and is excited by the range of work a multi-entity organization can offer. From luxury hospitality collateral to real estate listing campaigns, social content to corporate decks, no two projects look the same. You will work directly with our internal team on briefs, deliver polished creative on agreed timelines, and have meaningful input on how our brands show up in market. What You'll Work On Projects will vary in scope and scale, but typically include: - Social media content and campaign assets for our hospitality and property brands (Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn) - Property marketing collateral — listing brochures, feature sheets, signage, hoarding graphics, and on-site print materials - Luxury and hospitality brand assets for Santé and related properties — menus, event collateral, in-property print, guest-facing materials - Digital advertising creative — display ads, paid social, retargeting assets, landing page graphics - Internal and corporate materials — presentation decks, recruitment graphics, annual reports, and stakeholder communications - Motion and video graphics — short-form social video, animated ads, motion elements for digital campaigns Who You Are - Experienced. You have a strong portfolio demonstrating senior-level work across print and digital, ideally with real estate, hospitality, luxury, or lifestyle brands. - Brand-fluent. You understand how to work within brand systems and elevate them — not just execute briefs but improve them. - Versatile. You move comfortably between a refined hospitality piece, a fast-turn social asset, and a stakeholder-ready deck. - Self-directed. You manage your own time, tools, and workflow, and you deliver on agreed milestones without close oversight. - Responsive. You communicate clearly, flag issues early, and treat client timelines with respect. - Detail-oriented. Your files are clean, your typography is intentional, and your work holds up under scrutiny — on screen and in print.
