We're looking for a Community Engagement Lead who really understands social.

Based in Toronto, you'll work for brands that want to show up in culture, not just post into the void. This isn't about maintaining calendars, it's about creating work people actually care about.

As the Community Engagement Lead, you'll help brands participate in culture in real time. You'll identify engagement opportunities, build meaningful relationships with communities, and partner closely with strategists, creators, account teams, and clients to shape how brands show up every day.

You'll work across always-on content, campaigns, creator partnerships, and real-time cultural moments, helping teams move quickly while staying connected to what audiences actually care about.

We're a growing agency, which means no passengers. You'll have real influence on how we work, what we make, and how we grow. If you like building as you go, you'll feel right at home.

And yes, this role is deeply plugged into culture. You're across platforms, creators, trends, and shifts in behavior before they hit the mainstream. More importantly, you know what's worth acting on, and what's just noise.

If you're excited by the idea of shaping standout work, building something meaningful, and leaving your mark on a fast-moving agency, we should talk.
