Eligibility
This position is offered with help from Canada’s Digital Skills for Youth initiative. To meet the criteria of this federal program, applicants must be at most 30 years old on the expected start date of the position (January 4, 2021). You must be legally entitled to work in Canada and you must self-assess as underemployed, meaning you either are not employed, feel you are employed below your level of education, or currently have only part-time employment.
Responsibilities
The Social Media Manager will – with guidance from senior staff – take on creative and operational responsibility for Cabin Radio’s social channels: Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, YouTube, and TikTok.
The Social Media Manager will devise daily production schedules for social media, which means deciding what we’ll publish on each channel, the resources we’ll need to create that content, when the content will get created, and when we’ll publish it.
Half the time, you’ll be promoting content the rest of our team created (like news reports, videos, or photos). Half the time, you’ll be creating that content yourself, meaning you get to devise and produce projects from scratch with our support.

You will also manage relationships with our audiences by responding to comments and messages or reaching out to people proactively where appropriate.
Lastly, we’ll expect you to pitch in with a range of office administrative tasks on a daily basis that keep Cabin Radio going.
Skills
The Social Media Manager needs to demonstrate an understanding of video, images, and social media, and be good with words. Experience filming and editing video is an asset. In your application, you should show us how you’ve made a company (or yourself) stand out on social media.
You need to be a good communicator and good at managing your time. If you enjoy getting things done quickly in a creative environment while still doing them to a high standard, this will be a great job for you.
Salary
This position pays $38.60 an hour for a 37.5-hour work week. Note that this salary applies to the three-month internship period of January-March 2021 only – salary terms may change if the position is extended or a permanent contract offered.
