Gain real-world social media experience while helping Ottawa reduce food waste, only 5-10 hours a week!

We are looking for someone to help Foodsharing Ottawa (FSO) oversee and produce content for our social media feeds to support FSO efforts to increase recognition, engage the community, and raise awareness of food waste issues.

– Honest, reliable, and determined
– Strong communication skills (oral and written)
– Detail-oriented and well-organized

You will also work with other team members to respond to organizational needs for communications through our social media feeds, such as volunteer opportunity postings, community engagement events, and fundraising efforts. Additionally, you may provide advice or ideas on content to increase engagement, respond to messages and queries received through social media, maintain a repository of images for marketing purposes and presentations, track social media performance, and perform other administrative tasks.

If this sounds like the role for you, please provide a cover letter and CV. We look forward to hearing from you!

Please note: Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis, and the posting may close before the stated deadline. Apply today!
