We have recently rebranded our collision, hail, and auto services division to ACX. Over the coming years, we are launching a comprehensive branding initiative to unify the look and feel of our facilities nationwide. As the Branding Interior Designer, you will bridge our Design team and Facilities team. This role will be central to defining, implementing, and maintaining the branding standards that will shape the future of ACX. You will lead the translation of ACX's brand identity into customer-facing and operational environments. You'll bring creative vision and technical expertise to ensure our spaces not only reflect our brand but also meet functional, construction, and operational requirements. This role will collaborate closely with Design to ensure creative consistency, and with Facilities to ensure feasibility and scalability across multiple sites.

• Conduct site visits (once every 1-3 months) to our 30+ locations across Canada to review brand implementation and maintain consistency across facilities.
• Monitor design trends in retail, hospitality, and automotive spaces to evolve ACX's customer experience.
