About the Team

We’re a united group of creative problem-solvers dedicated to delivering best-in-class, performance-accountable experiences. By connecting with Canadians in ways that spark action and build trust, we transform business intent into measurable market success. Join a collaborative environment where your craft is valued and your impact is visible across every channel we touch.

About The Role

In this role, you’ll be the strategic voice behind our content marketing and brand engagement initiatives, responsible for crafting, optimizing and leading our content engine across content marketing blogs, marketing emails, organic social media, internal communications, and talent branding initiatives. As the guardian of our brand’s pulse, you’ll use your words to engage new audiences, deepen customer loyalty, attract top talent, and bring our vision to life.

You’re someone who blends storytelling with conversion psychology, knows how to pack a punch into social media character limits, write engaging long-form editorial content, and structure content for discoverability across modern and AI-driven search engines –  and loves seeing your words drive actual results. You’re interested in the "why" as much as the "what," and you're ready to collaborate with a high-energy team of designers, editors, localization specialists, process managers and project managers to bring our content pillars to life. If this sounds like you, we want to hear your story.
