Job description

At Chexy, we're building modern financial tools for Canadians — starting with their largest expenses. We turn rent, tuition, insurance, and other big bills into opportunities to build credit, earn rewards, and gain financial flexibility.

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 credit‑building tools. With ~$2B in annual payment volume and hundreds of thousands of transactions a month, we're building financial infrastructure that needs to be fast, reliable, and bulletproof.

About the role

Chexy is looking for a hands‑on Growth Creative to build the creative engine behind our next stage of growth.

This is not a Creative Director role, and it is not a job where you spend your day writing briefs for someone else to execute.

You will create the work.

You’ll turn customer insights, product stories, cultural moments and performance data into ads, UGC, videos and landing‑page experiments that can be launched, measured and iterated quickly.

You’ll work directly with our Head of Growth and paid media agency to decide what we should make, make it, understand what worked, and turn those learnings into the next round of creative.

We care about taste, speed and performance. You should be equally comfortable coming up with a hook, opening Figma, editing a video, using AI to make something faster, changing a landing page and looking at the data afterward to decide what comes next.

The outcome

Build a high velocity creative engine that continuously produces, tests and improves ads, UGC and landing pages.

What you’ll own

Creative strategy + concepts

• Develop concepts, hooks, messaging angles, scripts and storyboards
• Build a testing roadmap across new concepts, iterations of winners and rapid variations
• Understand what we’re testing, why we’re testing it and what we expect to learn
• Identify winning patterns and creative fatigue before performance falls off
• This is a hands‑on role.

You’ll personally:

• Design static ads
• Create and edit video ads
• Build UGC‑style creative
• Write hooks, scripts and ad copy
• Work in Figma or similar design tools
• Edit creator footage into finished performance assets
• Use AI creative tools aggressively to increase speed and output
• Create rapid variations of winning concepts
• Produce lightweight creative without waiting for a long production process

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

What success looks like

• Chexy has a constant pipeline of genuinely new creative, not endless versions of the same ad.
• New concepts are getting into market every week.
• UGC is consistently being produced.
• Landing pages are continuously improving rather than launching once and sitting untouched.
• Winning ideas are quickly turned into more creative.
• Losing ideas still produce a clear learning.
• And our paid engine becomes stronger because the quality, volume and speed of creative learning gets better.

What we’re looking for

• 3–5 years of experience in growth creative, performance creative, paid social creative or a similar hands‑on role
• A portfolio that shows work you personally made, not only campaigns you directed
• Strong creative taste across concepts, copy, design, video and landing pages
• Hands‑on ability with design and video‑editing tools
• Strong instincts around hooks, messaging angles, offers and direct‑response creative
• Understand testing, iteration and creative fatigue
• Comfortable moving fast and producing work without a large production team
• Excited about AI and constantly looking for ways to use new tools to increase creative output
• High ownership: you see the creative bottleneck and solve it rather than waiting for somebody to brief you

This probably isn’t the role for you if

• You primarily want to manage designers or creators
• You prefer giving creative direction to making the work yourself
• You need a long production process to ship
• You think performance creative means making 20 superficial variations of the same ad each week

Why Join Chexy?

• Build payments infrastructure that matters: Your work helps power ~$2B a year in payments for Canadians
• Work with the tools shaping creative now: AI-native workflows, modern creative tools and end‑to‑end ownership
• Join a tight‑knit team: Work directly with the founders and Head of Growth, with real ownership over what gets made
• Early equity: Access equity in a high‑growth fintech
• Toronto office: We work in‑office 5 days a week
