Social & Content Manager

Our client, The Jilly Box, is a purpose-led, B Corp certified, quarterly lifestyle subscription box and ecommerce platform.  Their 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 Jilly Box continues to expand its digital presence and community impact, they are seeking a strategic and creative Social & Content Manager to join the team on a temporary 20-month contract. This role will shape the brand's presence across all digital channels while driving 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.
