About You
You’re an intellectually curious marketing professional who embodies
and understands us (our brand) and the digital space we’re in. Not
only are you creative and relational but you’re also an analytical
person who is comfortable working with data and leveraging insights to
drive strategic decisions. You’re also funny (“writing funny”) and
you’ve already accomplished a lot in your relatively short marketing
career. You like contrary and counterintuitive ideas and you’re able
to draw your own independent conclusions.
You’re passionate about social media, you grasp the overall digital
marketing landscape and you can understand how this fits into our
larger vision. Your writing is concise and amusing. You write things
that people want to read.
The Role
Working closely with the Director of Digital Strategy and executive
team, you, our Digital Marketing Specialist, will be accountable for
supporting the team in the accurate and timely execution of digital
initiatives that ultimately support our marketing strategies. Within

campaigns, and social media channels. In additional to the executional
aspects of this role, you will also contribute to many strategic

plans, re-branding, communications policies, and website planning.
This is an opportunity to join us as we embark on a project to
re-brand ourselves and deliver an all new online experience in the
months to come. We’ve grown (and are growing) rapidly, but we’re still
in the very early stages of our long term plans. You’ll be joining us
at an ideal time, where you can make a massive contribution and play a
vital role in our future growth.

Work & Live in Peterborough
Our intergalactic headquarters are located in Peterborough and our
operations and main warehouse is located in Toronto. Our Peterborough
location is closer to many of our partner farms and also offers a
better standard of living for our team.
Peterborough is an engaging and creative city surrounded by nature and
lakes. It’s truly considered a paradise for creative people who love
the outdoors and crave high quality of life and balanced living. Our
office is located right in downtown “old” Peterborough (within walking
distance to everything) and your commute will be less than five
minutes (likely walking). Peterborough is known for its incredible
high proportion of truly great restaurants and overall food and arts
scene. You’ll enjoy all the small town lifestyle perks and still only
be an hour away from Toronto.
You’ll be given the opportunity to live here – and work within a
marketing position that would normally only be available in a large
city. If you’re the right person for this position, this is the chance
of a life time.
