About The Position

This is a temporary position covering parental (paternity) leave. The assignment is expected to run from November 2, 2026 through January 4, 2027, with the possibility of extension depending on business needs and the returning employee's timeline. The role is fully in-house and sits within the Marketing team. As the temporary Digital Marketing Manager, you will step in to maintain continuity across our digital marketing programs while a member of our team is on parental leave.
