Digital Editor - Online

What good’s a great story if no one reads it? What good’s a great video if no one sees it? You get this, which is why you’re part content creator, part curator and part marketer. You use social media, enewsletters, websites, webinars, infographics, SEO and whatever else it takes to get your voice heard in the digital wilderness..

If this sounds like you, then this could be your lucky break. Annex Business Media is looking for a dynamic, innovative, entrepreneurial content specialist to help beta-test new ways to create and deliver content to its audience of business leaders across Canada.
