Position: Marketing and Administration Assistant
We are looking for a motivated individual to join us as a Marketing & Administration Assistant for the Fall 2025 co-op term. In this role, you will have the opportunity to support both the external marketing efforts & internal operations of a fast-growing startup by:

  • Assisting with the planning and promotion of on-campus events and student outreach campaigns

  • Helping track marketing metrics and managing shared internal documents

  • Contributing creative ideas to improve student engagement and brand visibility on campus


Why Join Us:

  • Start-up environment: You'll get to wear multiple hats and try your hand at different tasks in both marketing and operations. No two days are the same.

  • Hands-on experience: You’ll work closely with team leads, learning how different parts of the business work behind the scenes — from outreach to execution.

  • Student-first culture: We're built around the student experience. You'll be helping students like yourself and working in a fun, energetic, and collaborative space.

  • Growth potential: This role can evolve based on your interests and strengths. Whether you're into branding, project management, or operations, there's room to grow.


Requirements:

  • Currently enrolled in a post-secondary co-op program – Ideally in business, marketing, communications, or a related field.

  • Strong organizational and multitasking abilities – You enjoy managing to-do lists and seeing things through.

  • Creative mindset – You like brainstorming new ways to get people interested and involved.

  • Comfortable using social media platforms and productivity tools – Tools like Google Suite, Canva, and others are part of your day-to-day.

  • Clear communicator – You’re confident in both written and verbal communication.

  • Excited to be part of a fast-moving, collaborative team – You’re adaptable and enjoy working with others to make things happen.

Experience in event planning, student leadership, or digital content creation is a bonus, but not required.


Compensation:

$20 per hour

After a successful co-op term, employees may be invited to continue in a full-time salaried position, with opportunities for growth and expanded responsibilities within the company.
