A highly motivated, reliable, responsible self starter who is looking to extend their existing marketing experience into the online space is key to expand our team.
You will become part of a very small, core team with an entrepreneurial culture. The Canadian market is a high profile priority for the company, and as such, every position is critical for success and will have input and responsibility for achieving goals. Effectively integrating with and contributing to the team is vital; exceptional communication and interpersonal skills will be integral to your success in this role.
The ideal candidate will be an energetic and highly motivated person with an expertise for organization and project management, a results-oriented approach, and an analytical yet creative personality.
Key Responsibilities / Performance Requirements:This position requires a self-motivated marketer that can manage projects independently, but work cohesively as part of a small team. As our website is hosted out of the US, you will be working largely with operational resources based in the US.

- Liaise with Member Services to advise them of upcoming promotions and assist with the resolution of customer service matters.
- Prepare performance reports for all campaigns, site traffic and email activity regularly in preparation for weekly and monthly meetings and other company presentations, as necessary.
- Undertake ad-hoc tasks and projects as required to support the Marketing Department.
Ideally you will have at least 2 years experience working in a role where you were responsible for updating content for a large, multi-faceted website. Your interpersonal skills, attention to detail, ability to work well with others across distances, and the ability to navigate a variety of internal systems and tools with a positive attitude is vital to the success of this role.
Required Skills:Highly regarded skills:
