ABOUT EASTPOINT

EastPoint was born from a desire to transform places and deliver leading design solutions. We’re a multi-disciplined engineering, architectural, and sustainability services firm, proudly based in Halifax and locally owned by our management and senior employees. We service an array of industrial, government, institutional, and commercial clients and work on projects to shape places not only in Nova Scotia, but across Canada and beyond. Our approach embraces integrated design and construction: we spend time in the field and visualize beyond theory to understand how things are built and come to life.

We have organically grown our company since our founding to more than 150 architects, engineers, designers, and professionals today.

HOW YOU’LL BE INVOLVED

Reporting to the Marketing Manager, you will work closely with and actively support our business development team in the following areas:

Marketing Collateral

• Brand ambassador: Champion the use of brand standards and templated material, helping teams present a confident, unified voice to internal and external audiences.
• Lead development of EastPoint’s internal monthly eNewsletter, The Blueprint, driving story selection, content flow, and contributor engagement.
• Draft EastPoint branded CVs for new hires, support ongoing maintenance.
• Contribute to the creation and updating of marketing materials across teams.
• Manage the employee headshots program and coordinate project photography needs.

External Marketing

• Social media leadership: Own the coordination and content posting for LinkedIn and Instagram. Drive a proactive content strategy, surface great stories, draft posts for review, manage accounts, and integrate quality processes.
• Events and conferences: Support, track, and attend industry events (abstracts, sponsorships, presentations). Be a visible on-the-ground representative who enjoys connecting with partners and clients.
• Support, track, and attend events and conferences (e.g. abstracts, sponsorships, presentations, physical presence at event)
• Manage the calendar of planned activities and coordinate involvement across teams.
• Support website content and updates.
• Track and contribute to award submissions.

Business Development Support

• Provide back-up support for EastPoint’s BD inboxes and proposal folder creation.
• Support market research and preparation of client qualification packages.
• Provide graphic design for covers, organization charts, and basic diagrams.

KEY ATTRIBUTES

The Marketing Coordinator role calls for someone who is equally strong in communication, organization, visual thinking, and connecting ideas. We’re looking for the following key attributes:

• A natural communicator and storyteller: You enjoy talking with people, whether interviewing subject matter experts or collaborating with project teams, to pull out meaningful insights. You’re skilled at writing concisely and professionally, distilling technical material into clear, compelling messages. You think about the audience, the purpose, and the bigger narrative, and you’re comfortable taking the lead in shaping content that resonates.
• A connector: You thrive in fast-moving environments and enjoy being in the middle of the action. You enjoy connecting the dots across sources to create high-quality summaries and takeaways, and you bring that curiosity into conversations, content development, and strategy discussions. You thrive in a STEM environment and are energized by industry trends, infrastructure developments, and emerging opportunities.
• An organizer: You keep teams on track with clear communication and structured follow-through. People rely on you because you’re organized, responsive, and comfortable taking ownership from start to finish. You enjoy motivating others, coordinating moving parts, and contributing to a positive team dynamic.
• A visual communicator: You understand that compelling marketing material pairs strong writing with clear visual communication. You identify when a diagram, infographic, or timeline will convey information more effectively than text alone, and you’re eager to explore new tools and techniques that elevate how information is presented.

QUALIFICATIONS

• Experience & Education: Minimum 2–4 years of related experience; a Degree or Diploma in business or related studies (e.g., marketing, public relations, communications, journalism). Experience in a STEM organization or professional services firm is an asset.
• Communication & Writing: Exceptional communication and interpersonal skills, with demonstrated writing ability. Comfortable engaging across teams, interviewing subject matter experts, and shaping clear, compelling content. Shortlisted candidates may be asked to provide writing samples.
• Social Media & Events: Proficiency with Instagram and LinkedIn, including content development, scheduling, and platform engagement. Experience supporting or coordinating events, conferences, or industry engagements is an asset.
• Organization & Initiative: Proactive, self-directed approach with strong organizational skills and the ability to manage multiple tasks, coordinate moving parts, and meet deadlines in a fast-paced environment.
• Digital Tools & Design: Strong understanding of communication tools, trends, and technology. Proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite is preferred; strong Canva skills are also acceptable. Proficient in Microsoft software including PowerPoint, Word, and Excel.
