For 30 years, we’ve been on a mission to change banking for good and build relationships by making credit accessible, simple, intuitive and rewarding. We want to help Canadians succeed with credit, because we believe in people—in our customers, in our associates, and in talent like you!

About The Team

We’re a united group of creative problem-solvers dedicated to delivering best-in-class, performance-accountable experiences. By connecting with Canadians in ways that spark action and build trust, we transform business intent into measurable market success. Join a collaborative environment where your craft is valued and your impact is visible across every channel we touch.

About The Role

In this role, you’ll be the strategic voice behind our customer-facing communications, responsible for crafting, optimizing and leading our content engine across all customer communications. You’ll be the guardian of our brand’s pulse, using your words to deepen customer loyalty and make our brand's vision unmissable.

You’re someone who blends storytelling with conversion psychology, knows how to pack a punch into a character limit and loves seeing your words drive actual results. You’re interested in the "why" as much as the "what," and you're ready to collaborate with a high-energy team of designers, editors, localization specialists and process managers and project managers to bring our content pillars to life. If this sounds like you, we want to hear your story.

• Partnering closely with graphic designers, editors, localization specialists, process managers and project managers to facilitate cohesive, deadline-driven work. 

• Developing and maintaining systems and best practices for content creation, maintenance and repurposing. Using appropriate tools, frameworks and design systems to do so.

• Interpreting business priorities, reviewing performance metrics from current or previous customer-facing communications, and developing strategies for creative messaging to influence them.

• Presenting to internal stakeholders, advocating for content strategies and best practices, and anchoring recommendations with reasoning.
