• Evaluate and introduce emerging AI tools and techniques where they materially improve speed, quality, or experimentation.
• Design and build conversion-focused landing pages directly in WordPress using Gutenberg, Elementor, or similar tools.
• Take ownership from concept through production-ready implementation, minimizing unnecessary handoffs.

Job description

Intro

At Web Hosting Canada (WHC), we’re passionate about helping Canadians succeed online with reliable, locally focused web hosting services. Since 2003, we’ve empowered businesses and individuals with top-notch websites, domains, and email solutions.

If you’re looking for a dynamic, caring environment and share our excitement for Canada’s tech landscape, we’d love to have you join our team!

The Opportunity

You’ll shape how WHC shows up online, and how quickly our marketing ideas become high-performing campaigns.

Reporting to the Marketing & Communications Manager, you’ll bring together two capabilities that rarely sit in one role: senior-level digital design and AI-enabled creative systems. You’ll design the landing pages, campaign assets, paid-ad creative, and visual experiences people see first, while building repeatable workflows that help turn a strong concept into a complete, on-brand campaign faster.

Design remains the craft and your judgment decides what ships. AI, automation, templates, and systems are the multiplier. This is a hands-on role for someone who can move from brief to concept to production, work directly in WordPress, and improve the work continuously using performance data, testing, and feedback.

What You’ll Do

• Design high-performing visuals for landing pages, campaigns, paid advertising, social media, sales collateral, and promotional materials.
• Create layouts, graphics, and digital assets that are clear, usable, accessible, and built to convert.
• Own and evolve WHC’s visual identity across digital marketing channels while maintaining brand consistency.
• Apply senior-level creative judgment to decide which concepts, variations, and executions are ready to ship.
• Use creative AI tools, including image and video generation, design copilots, and language models, to develop and refine work.
• Turn strong concepts into complete sets of on-brand variations and campaign assets efficiently.
• Build reusable workflows, prompts, templates, components, and automations that multiply the team’s output.
• Evaluate and introduce emerging AI tools and techniques where they materially improve speed, quality, or experimentation.
• Design and build conversion-focused landing pages directly in WordPress using Gutenberg, Elementor, or similar tools.
• Take ownership from concept through production-ready implementation, minimizing unnecessary handoffs.
• Create reusable templates and components that make future campaign execution faster and more consistent.
• Iterate based on performance, user feedback, heatmaps, A/B tests, and campaign results.
• Use HTML and CSS, with basic JavaScript where helpful, to customize layouts and bring designs to life.
• Ensure implementations are responsive, fast, accessible, and aligned with web and SEO fundamentals.
• Make routine content and design updates without relying on a full development cycle.
• Partner with Marketing, Content, Product, and Development teams to launch quickly and improve continuously.
• Proactively identify and implement improvements that strengthen creative quality, campaign performance, brand consistency, or execution speed.

What You Bring

• 5+ years of experience in web design, digital design, graphic design, or a closely related role.
• A strong portfolio showcasing web design, landing pages, digital campaigns, brand systems, and conversion-focused creative work; please include it with your application.
• Advanced proficiency with Figma, Adobe Creative Suite, or comparable professional design tools.
• Hands-on experience designing, building, and publishing pages in WordPress.
• Demonstrated ability to use AI tools, automation, templates, or repeatable workflows to improve creative output and execution speed.
• Working knowledge of HTML and CSS; basic JavaScript knowledge is an asset.

• A performance mindset: you care about what converts, not only what looks good.
• Autonomy, sound judgment, curiosity, and a bias toward shipping, testing, and improving.
• Strong communication skills in English and French.

Nice to Have

• Experience in web hosting, SaaS, domains, ecommerce, or another technology environment.
• Experience with Google Analytics 4, Google Tag Manager, heatmaps, or A/B testing tools.
• Motion design or video-editing experience.
• Experience shipping creative at high volume in a fast-moving growth, startup, ecommerce, or campaign-driven environment.

Why Join WHC?

• A collaborative team culture where your work has a visible impact on growth and the customer experience.
• Competitive compensation and benefits with a flexible hybrid work model.
• Access to training, mentorship, and career-development opportunities.
• Frequent gatherings, lively 5 à 7s, a vibrant social club, and memorable holiday parties.
• A bright, renovated office in Little Italy with a fully stocked kitchen and a game room featuring ping-pong, foosball, Nintendo, Nerf toys, and a library.
• Certified a Great Place to Work® for five years running, because we believe work should be fun, fulfilling, and rewarding.
