ABOUT WILLFUL

At Willful, we’re on a mission to make estate planning simple, affordable, and accessible for Canadians. Since 2017, we’ve helped over 150,000 people create wills and power of attorney documents. Through partnerships with Wealthsimple, Scotiabank, CIBC and Amazon, we’re transforming how Canadians plan for the future.
We’re looking for a Senior Graphic Designer who shares our vision to make a positive difference in Canadians’ lives. This role is vital in ensuring that every interaction with our brand reinforces trust, provides value, and helps more Canadians feel the peace of mind that comes from protecting their families.
As part of our team, you will lead and elevate the creative strategy behind our marketing initiatives, shaping the visual identity of the Willful brand across digital, print, traditional media and partner channels.

WHO YOU ARE:

• Customer-first mindset: Understanding of design’s role in driving engagement, conversion rates and brand affinity across the customer lifecycle
• Strong design aesthetic: A natural eye for clean, modern, and effective design that inspires users to take action
• Proven marketing design experience: A strong portfolio showcasing your expertise in web, email, digital and print design
• Proficiency with design workflow and tools like Figma, Webflow and Mailchimp (or similar)
• Excellent collaboration skills: You work well cross-functionally and thrive in a fast-paced environment
• Bonus skills: Experience with motion graphics, animation or video editing
• Empathy is one of your top traits: You value collaboration and diversity of thought, and you thrive in a supportive, team-driven environment
  We’re looking for the right person to join our team! We don’t care where you went to school—or if you went to school—as long as you have a proven track record of marketing success.
  Even if you don’t check off all the boxes but you think you’d be a good fit for the team—we encourage you to apply.

WORK WHERE YOU WANT TO

We’re looking for the right person to join our team, so this role isn’t limited by geography and will be 100% remote. The only requirement is that you must be legally able to work in Canada. You will be required to attend in-person company retreats and strategic planning sessions several times a year.
