Marketing Consultant (Short-Term Engagement) Vancouver, BC or Remote Community Full‑time Jan 08, 2026 Monthly: $1 - $2

Looking for a Marketing Consultant (Short-Term Engagement)

Who are we?

CheckingIn is a wellness and reconnection tool for Indigenous communities. We operate in a finite, relationship-based market. Our work is alongside First Nations communities, beginning with a focus in British Columbia. Success in our work is not driven by volume, aggressive funnels, or rapid scaling, but by trust, care, and long-term relationships built in the right way.

Experience working with First Nations, Indigenous organizations, non‑profits, public sector, or similarly trust‑based environments is strongly preferred.

Job Description

We are seeking a senior Marketing Consultant to support our team in strengthening our marketing foundations, systems, and overall strategic direction. This is a short‑term, strategic engagement focused on leadership, clarity, and alignment — not hands‑on execution. You will work closely with leadership to help us refine how we approach marketing in a way that is sustainable, values‑aligned, and appropriate for the communities we serve.

This role is ideal for someone who has stepped beyond “growth at all costs” thinking and understands how to market thoughtfully in small, relationship‑led ecosystems.

Key Responsibilities

- Lead and advise on overall marketing strategy and direction

- Assess and refine existing marketing systems, tools, and workflows

- Help define what “success” looks like in a relationship‑led market

- Support the team in prioritizing efforts that are realistic, ethical, and scalable

- Provide guidance on messaging, positioning, and audience clarity

- Ensure marketing approaches align with company values, community trust, and long‑term sustainability

- Act as a thought partner to leadership, offering clear, grounded recommendations

Deliverables will be confirmed collaboratively but may include:

- A refined marketing strategy and framework aligned with our market realities

- Clear recommendations for systems, tools, and processes

- Defined marketing priorities and focus areas for the next 6–12 months

- Guidance on measurement and success indicators appropriate to our work

- Documentation or summaries that support internal alignment and continuity

Qualifications

- Has senior‑level marketing experience, ideally in tech or startup environments

- Understands how to build practical marketing foundations, not just theories

- Is comfortable advising small, fast‑moving teams

- Has experience working in relationship‑led, trust‑based sectors

- Brings a calm, thoughtful, and collaborative approach

- Understands the nuances of marketing where reputation and relationships matter deeply

- Is aligned with values‑driven work and community accountability

Why This Role Matters

This role will help ensure that how we market reflects who we are, who we serve, and how we want to show up in the world. We are looking for someone who can help us do this work with care, clarity, and integrity.

In your cover letter, please specify why your passion lies in working with Indigenous Communities.

The work we are doing is heart work. We want employees to be capable of the work asked of them, but at the core they need to be mentally and spiritually connected to the project. A positive attitude and a passion for the work can go very far at CheckingIn.

CheckingIn is an equal opportunity employer and we encourage candidates of all backgrounds to apply.

This posting will remain open until filled.

If you’re an experienced marketing consultant available short‑term — or know someone who would be a great fit — we’d love to connect.

Please Note

We are unable to offer LMIA or sponsorship for this position. Applicants should be Canadian citizens, Permanent Residents of Canada, or already possess a valid work permit for Canada.
