Marketing Manager - Vancouver

We’re looking for a Vancouver-based Marketing Manager who loves event planning, going all out with digital presence in posts, blogs, and engaging content across various social media platforms.

You get excited to support the sales and pitch team from client research to marketing collaterals.
