Channel 21 – ATB Financial
“Think left and think right and think low and think high. Oh, the thinks you can think up if only you try” – Dr. Seuss
While creativity is about thinking differently, it’s also about doing and sharing what you do. As the Junior Web Designer at ATB’s internal award-winning agency, Channel 21, we’re looking for a self-motivated web designer who can think, collaborate and do, someone who’s the whole creative package; someone with a zest for conceptualizing, an aptitude for the tools of the trade.

Maintains and provides ongoing design and support consultation of all ATB's web properties, promos and ad banners, seasonal/campaign content and other support and input for Vendor-led initiatives. Creates content pages, landing pages and digital assets across a variety of digital properties.
You’re an integral part of a larger team that includes everything from junior and senior designers, art directors, copywriters, animators, videographers and external resources. There’s some great thinking—and creating—to do here, and some amazing projects to be involved in. You game?
