Company Description

CANVAS is looking for a passionate and collaborative Social & Community Manager to join our team. You will work alongside copywriters, content creators, strategists and account managers to support award-winning digital initiatives and grow brand affinity across social channels. The ideal candidate believes in the power of connection and is obsessed with extending brand messaging to consumers and peers in creative and socially native ways.

We pride ourselves on our integrated and nimble digital work, so our Social Manager should be organized, fast on their feet, and capable of speaking many brand languages in a given day.
