About KOHO

We’re on a mission to make financial services better for every Canadian. That means no hidden fees, no predatory interest rates - just financial products designed to help our users spend smart, save more, and build real wealth. We’re a performance organization with a strong heart: we care deeply about outcomes, and everything ties back to our mission - to financially empower a generation of Canadians.

At KOHO, we’re not your average 9-5. We believe real impact comes from people who are trusted, empowered, and supported to do their best work - without sacrificing their lives to do it. We prioritize work-life integration, not just work-life balance. That means asynchronous collaboration, flexible hours, and a remote-first setup built around autonomy and high trust.

KOHO is entering its next chapter - leaner, smarter, more AI-integrated. We’re building for impact, not bureaucracy. If you thrive in environments that value clarity, ownership, and bold thinking, you’ll fit right in.

We are looking for a Growth-focused Brand Designer who blends strong visual craft with a deep understanding of performance marketing and AI-driven creative experimentation.

• Use AI tools and internal AI systems, and automations for day-to-day creation and experimentation.

• Build internal workflows, templates, and automations using AI to scale creative output.

• Continuously evaluate new AI tools to adopt into design and experimentation processes.

What Success Looks Like:

• Increased performance across ads, and growth funnels driven by smarter creative experimentation.

• Faster creative turnaround times due to AI-enabled workflows you help design.

• Better creative insights shared cross-functionally leading to stronger strategies and testing plans.

• Scalable systems that help the company run dozens of creative experiments monthly with consistent brand quality.
