Context of the mandate

Welfare Avenue is a student-led registered charity that has delivered hot meals, food baskets, hygiene products and clothing to people facing homelessness and food insecurity in Montreal since 2020. Our Sunday events reach over 320 people each time across 7 shelter locations, carried by a community of 200+ volunteers.

We are looking for a Content Manager to run the planning and execution of Welfare Avenue's content across Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, LinkedIn and YouTube Shorts. You own the content calendar, coordinate our content creators and designers, roll out the content behind our campaigns and events, and track what works. You report to our Director and Co-Director of Marketing and work closely with Fundraising and Operations so the stories from our events reach the people who make them possible.

Tasks

• Own and maintain the content calendar across Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, LinkedIn and YouTube Shorts;
• Run a weekly content check-in with the creators and designers; assign posts and keep deadlines;
• Keep every post on brand and aligned with campaign goals and messaging;
• Plan and schedule the content for fundraising and awareness campaigns and for our events (before, during and after);
• Coordinate event content capture, then timely recaps and impact stories;
• Organize the shared library of photos, videos and templates;
• Track engagement and report insights to the marketing directors; help moderate comments and messages and spot collaboration opportunities.

Desired qualifications

• Experience managing social media content for a brand, club or organization;
• Strong planning and coordination skills: you like calendars and keeping a team on schedule;
• A good eye for what works on each platform, and solid writing in English (French is an asset);
• Comfortable with Canva, Meta Business Suite and a planning tool (Notion, ClickUp or similar);
• Able to give creators clear, kind feedback;
• Interest in nonprofit storytelling and community impact.

Expected level of involvement

Minimum 4 hours a week, long term (at least 3 months, ideally the full school year). Remote, with a weekly online marketing meeting in the evening and occasional presence at events in Montreal to coordinate content capture.
