OPEN CAREER OPPORTUNITIES
Senior Brand Designer
Description
At Chexy, we're building modern financial tools for Canadians starting with their largest expenses. We turned rent, mortgages, tuition, insurance and other big bills into opportunities to earn rewards, improve cash flow and get more from money they already have to spend.
We're the first platform in Canada that lets users pay nearly any bill using their credit card, while unlocking meaningful benefits like cashback, points and financial flexibility. With billions in payments moving through Chexy and a rapidly growing customer base, we're building a consumer fintech brand that can become part of how Canadians think about paying all of there bills.
We're backed by world-class investors including Khosla Ventures, Crossbeam Venture Partners, Venrex, Antler, and Air Canada.
About the role
Chexy is looking for a Senior Brand Designer to help build the creative identity behind our next stage of growth.
This is not a role where you spend your day maintaining brand guidelines or creating briefs for other designers to execute.
You will create the work.
You’ll take product launches, customer insights, cultural moments, campaigns and growth opportunities and turn them into creative that makes Chexy feel distinctive, relevant and instantly recognizable.
That could mean a major product launch one week, a paid social concept the next, a new landing page, an organic campaign, creator content, a billboard, a partnership activation or something we haven't tried before.
We care about taste, speed and effectiveness.
You should be equally comfortable developing a campaign idea, opening Figma, writing a headline, editing a video, using AI to move faster, designing a landing page and looking at how the work performed afterward.
The outcome
Build a high-velocity creative engine that makes Chexy one of the most distinctive and recognizable consumer fintech brands in Canada while continuously producing creative that drives growth.
What you’ll own
Creative strategy + concepts
- Develop campaign ideas, visual concepts, messaging territories, hooks and creative platforms
- Turn Chexy's products and value propositions into simple, memorable consumer stories
- Build creative around product launches, partnerships, cultural moments and always-on marketing
- Explore new visual and creative territories while maintaining a recognizable Chexy identity
- Translate customer insights into work that feels relevant rather than overly polished or corporate
- Create genuinely new ideas rather than endlessly remixing the same creative
This is a hands on role.
You’ll personally:
- Design paid and organic social creative
- Create campaign concepts and key visuals
- Design static and motion assets
- Create and edit short-form video
- Build UGC-style and creator-led creative
- Write headlines, hooks, scripts and supporting copy
- Work primarily in Figma and modern creative tools
- Edit creator footage into finished assets
- Use AI creative tools aggressively to increase speed, experimentation and output
- Develop rapid iterations of successful ideas
- Create polished creative without requiring a large agency or production proces
You should be able to move from:
idea → asset → live test, very quickly.
Landing pages
- Create and iterate paid landing pages
- Improve copy and visual hierarchy
- Make sure the promise in the ad carries through to the page
- Test offers, layouts, social proof and new page variants
- Identify conversion problems and turn them into creative experiments
Performance + learning
- Review performance by concept, hook, format, message and creative
- Turn performance data into specific creative actions
- Maintain a clear backlog of tests, results and learnings
- Share a concise weekly view of what won, what lost, what we learned and what we’re making next
Creative systems
- Build the workflows that allow us to produce more creative without lowering the bar
- Create reusable frameworks, templates and testing systems
- Build AI-enabled workflows wherever they make the team faster
- Maintain a library of concepts, winners, learnings and reusable creative patterns
Campaigns + launches
- Develop the creative expression for major Chexy product launches and campaigns
- Translate positioning into campaign ideas people actually notice
- Build creative systems that work across paid, organic, lifecycle, partnerships, PR and web
- Create launch toolkits that allow the broader team to execute consistently
- Work closely with Growth to make sure brand ideas can translate into acquisition creative
- Help Chexy show up consistently without making every channel look identical
Web + landing pages
- Design and iterate campaign and product landing pages
- Improve visual hierarchy, storytelling and conversion
- Ensure the promise someone sees in an ad or campaign carries through to the experience
- Explore new layouts, creative directions, social proof and page formats
- Turn conversion problems into design and creative experiments
Creative performance + learning
Great brand creative still has to work.
You will:
- Review creative performance across concepts, messages, hooks and formats
- Understand which ideas are driving attention, engagement and conversion
- Turn performance data into specific creative actions
- Identify winning creative patterns and emerging fatigue
- Maintain a clear backlog of ideas, experiments and learnings
- Share a concise weekly view of what worked, what didn’t, what we learned and what we should make next
Brand systems
- Help evolve Chexy's visual identity as the company and product portfolio grows
- Build flexible creative systems rather than rigid brand rules
- Create reusable templates, frameworks and visual languages
- Build AI-enabled workflows wherever they make creative production faster or better
- Maintain a library of campaigns, concepts, winning creative and reusable patterns
- Make it easier for the entire company to create work that feels unmistakably Chexy
What success looks like
- Chexy develops a distinct visual and creative identity that people increasingly recognize.
- New campaign ideas and creative concepts are getting into market every week.
- Product launches feel like real moments rather than feature announcements.
- Paid, organic, lifecycle, partnerships and web increasingly feel like one brand.
- The team has a constant pipeline of genuinely new creative rather than endless versions of the same thing.
- Winning ideas quickly expand across channels and formats.
- Landing pages and campaign experiences continuously improve.
- Brand quality increases without slowing down how quickly we ship.
- And Chexy's growth engine becomes stronger because our creative becomes more distinctive, relevant and effective.
What we’re looking for
- 4–7 years of experience in brand design, creative design, growth creative, advertising or a similar hands-on role
- A portfolio that shows work you personally made, not only campaigns you directed
- Strong creative taste across brand, campaigns, typography, layout, copy, social, video and digital experiences
- Strong hands-on ability in modern design tools
- Ability to develop both the big idea and the actual execution
- Strong instincts around consumer messaging, headlines and storytelling
- Comfortable designing across paid, organic, web and campaign environments
- Comfortable moving quickly and producing work without a large production team
- An understanding of how creative contributes to growth and performance
- Excited about AI and constantly experimenting with ways new tools can improve creative output
- High ownership: you see a creative problem and solve it rather than waiting for someone to brief you
Experience in consumer fintech, technology, DTC or another fast-moving consumer brand is helpful, but not required.
This probably isn’t the role for you if
- You primarily want to manage designers rather than make the work yourself
- You prefer giving creative direction to executing it
- You want to work exclusively on traditional brand identity projects
- You need a long production process before shipping
- You believe brand and performance marketing should operate separately
- You want every piece of creative to go through multiple layers of approval before it reaches customers
