About AutoCanada

AutoCanada is the largest Canadian-owned and publicly traded automotive dealer group operating across Canada and the U.S. We’re an innovative, data-driven company, and our success is built on great people, great ideas, and a shared commitment to excellence.

Our Corporate Marketing Team plays a key role in driving growth and shaping the AutoCanada brand across our national network of dealerships. The work is fast-paced, dynamic, and constantly evolving - which makes it an exciting place to learn and grow your career.

About the Role

We’re looking for a Junior Media Buyer who’s eager to learn, curious about digital advertising, and ready to jump into a fast-moving marketing environment.

You might be a recent graduate in marketing, business, or communications—or someone who’s had a bit of hands‑on experience running ads or analyzing campaigns. Most importantly, you have a strong interest in media buying and want to build your career in digital marketing.

In this role, you’ll support our Media Buying team in planning, launching, and optimizing paid campaigns across platforms like Google, Meta, and other digital channels. You’ll get real‑world experience, ongoing mentorship, and the opportunity to grow into a more senior role as you develop your skills.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Assist with planning and managing paid advertising campaigns across multiple digital platforms (Google, Meta, etc.).
• Monitor campaign performance and help analyze data to identify trends, insights, and opportunities for improvement.
• Support day‑to‑day campaign optimization and budget management.
• Collaborate with creative and strategy teams to help ensure ads align with overall marketing goals.
• Learn to build reports that summarize performance and provide actionable recommendations.
• Stay curious – keep up with new advertising trends, tools, and techniques.

What We’re Looking For

• Some background in marketing, business, communications, or a related field (degree, diploma, or relevant experience).
• Interest in digital advertising and a desire to build a career in media buying.
• Comfortable working with data, numbers, and campaign metrics (we’ll teach you what matters most).
• Strong attention to detail, organization, and follow‑through.
• A positive attitude, willingness to learn, and the ability to thrive in a fast‑paced team environment.
• Familiarity with Google Ads, Meta Ads, or analytics tools is a bonus—but not required.

Why You’ll Love It Here

• Learn from experienced digital marketers and media buyers.
• Gain hands‑on experience managing real campaigns that drive real results.
• Opportunities for career growth within a large, innovative, and supportive organization.
• Competitive compensation and benefits package.
• Work in a collaborative, high‑energy environment where great ideas are encouraged and celebrated.

The Perks

• Competitive Compensation and Benefits Package
• Employee Vehicle Purchase & Service Plans
• Employee and Family Assistance Programs
• Company‑wide appreciation events and contests throughout the calendar year
• Professional development and the opportunity to grow your career

And those are just the basics. We strive every day to create a workplace culture that embraces diversity and inclusivity, ensures fairness and equal opportunities, and fosters a sense of belonging for all Team Members. As an equal‑opportunity employer, we actively support everyone in expressing themselves and reaching their full potential.
