• Coordinate in person with the owners and operations team when needed.
• Respond to content opportunities and business activities within mutually agreed timelines.
• Have reliable transportation to and from our location.

While editing, planning, and scheduling may be completed off-site, physical presence at Kids Collab is an essential part of this contract.

• Creative, proactive, organized, and able to work independently.
• Experience creating content for Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok.
• Comfortable using Canva, CapCut, or similar creative tools.
• Strong photography, video editing, copywriting, and storytelling skills.

• Connections with Edmonton-based parent communities, creators, or influencers.
• Experience developing campaigns that generate customer inquiries, visits, or bookings.
