Social & Content Manager

Our client, The Jilly Box, is a purpose-led, B Corp certified, quarterly lifestyle subscription box and ecommerce platform. Our goal is to bring joy and light into every home while lifting up Canadian, women-led, and equity-deserving brands. From curated products and storytelling to philanthropy and sustainability efforts, The Jilly Box and Jillian Harris team operate with heart, intention, and entrepreneurial spirit.

As the brand continues to expand its digital presence and community impact, The Jilly Box is seeking a strategic and creative Social & Content Manager to lead how the brand shows up across every digital channel and to drive performance through powerful, authentic storytelling.

As the Social & Content Manager, you will be the architect of how The Jilly Box tells its story and how it converts community into customers. This is a strategy-first role with a strong focus on execution, where you'll lead the brand's social and content vision to drive engagement, growth, and revenue. Working as part of a collaborative marketing team, you'll manage the daily rhythm of content creation while building long-term campaigns that support product launches, brand initiatives, and storytelling moments. The ideal candidate will be a digital-first thinker who's equally comfortable writing compelling copy as they are behind the camera creating engaging short-form content.

• Expert writing and editing skills with an ability to adapt tone and style for diverse audiences;
  
• Hands-on experience with content creation, video editing, and creative direction;
  
• Strong organizational and project management skills with the ability to juggle multiple priorities;
  
• A collaborative, team-oriented mindset and genuine enthusiasm for The Jilly Box's mission;
  
• Flexibility for hybrid work and travel as required.
  

The successful candidate can be based in either Vancouver or the Okanagan. This hybrid role requires travel to Kelowna at times and participation in off-site shoots as needed. This exciting opportunity offers a competitive salary ranging from $75,000 to $90,000 per year, depending on experience. After a 3-month probationary period, you will be eligible for a comprehensive benefits package that includes four weeks of vacation, health and dental coverage, and access to a robust mental health support program.
