Calling local creatives!

We Heart Winnipeg is looking for a creative, curious and community-minded person to join our team.

This isn't a role where you'll be doing the exact same thing every day. One day you might be creating graphics for social media, the next brainstorming a campaign, helping bring a new product to life, creating content, or finding a fun new way to tell Winnipeg's story.

We're looking for a well-rounded creative who loves branding, has a good eye for design, thinks outside the box and isn't afraid to bring their own ideas to the table.

Most importantly, we're looking for someone who genuinely believes in supporting local and wants to help us celebrate the people, businesses and communities that make Winnipeg special.

What You'll Do

Your role will evolve, but some of your responsibilities will include:

- Creating digital graphics and visual content for social media, marketing campaigns and other brand initiatives;
- Helping manage and grow our social media presence;
- Planning, creating and scheduling engaging social content;
- Brainstorming creative campaigns, promotions, products and new ideas
- Helping ensure our branding and creative work feels fresh, consistent and unmistakably We Heart Winnipeg;
- Developing creative ways to tell stories, support local businesses and engage our community;
- Keeping an eye on trends, while knowing when to do something completely different;
- Working on a variety of marketing and creative projects as they come up;
- Bringing your own ideas to the table—and taking the initiative to make them happen.

What We're Looking For We're less concerned about how many years of experience you have and more interested in how you think.

You might be a great fit if:

- You're passionate about branding, design and creativity in all its forms;
- You have a strong eye for design and understand what makes something visually engaging;




- You're comfortable creating content for social media;
- You understand that good marketing isn't just about making things look nice—it's about making people feel something;
- You're naturally curious and always coming up with ideas;
- You think outside the box and aren't afraid to try new things;
- You're a self-starter who can take an idea and run with it;
- You can thrive with minimal supervision and don't need someone telling you what to do every step of the way;
- You're organized enough to manage multiple projects and priorities;
- You can take feedback without taking it personally;
- You enjoy working collaboratively but are also comfortable working independently;
- You have a sense of humour and believe work should be fun.

Bonus Points These aren't deal-breakers, but we'd love to see:

- Experience with graphic design tools such as Adobe Creative Suite, Canva or similar platforms;
- Experience managing social media accounts or creating social content;
- Photography, videography or basic video editing skills;
- Experience with marketing, branding or content creation;
- An understanding of Winnipeg's local business and community scene;
- A portfolio, personal project, side hustle or anything else that shows us how your creative brain works.

The Most Important Thing You don't need to have a perfect resume.

You don't need years of agency experience.

You don't need to know everything on day one.

We're looking for someone with creative instincts, initiative and enthusiasm. Someone who sees an opportunity and thinks, "What if we tried this?"

If you love excellent branding, interesting ideas, supporting local and finding creative ways to connect with people, we'd love to hear from you.

Come help us make Winnipeg a little more fun.
