Content Designer

BIMM is booming, so we’re looking for a Content Designer to join our team! 

As we observe a hybrid model, this role will require you to be in office at BIMM HQ (Distillery District) up to 2 days per week. 

Who we are 

BIMM is a Toronto-based agency that lives at the intersection of data, technology, and creativity to provide clients with high-performing campaigns and digital products that shape connected customer experiences. We’ve helped our clients implement fully integrated CRM customer journeys, built robust digital experiences, and created national loyalty programs with decades of experience in sectors of automotive, financial, telco and retail. 

We are creative realists, which means our ideas and solutions are grounded in the realities of our clients’ business. We believe big ideas are nothing without big results (and flawless execution); high-performing agencies deliver high-performing campaigns, products, and experiences; and the best solutions happen when we collaborate with clients as partners. 

Who we’re looking for 

The Content Designer helps enrich user experience by providing context and meaning to our clients’ digital experiences while championing brand identity and providing technical documentation.

You will also be responsible for creating operating instructions, how-to manuals, assembly instructions and user guides to help technical support staff, CMS users, and other users within our company or our client’s company. After a product is released, you may also work with product managers and engagement managers to document changes, and you may be called upon to run training seminars with new clients and team members regarding the documented platforms.
