Job description

Job Posting - Marketing Coordinator (Social, Web, Email)

RUX is a Squamish-based outdoor gear company on a mission to make space for the good life. Founded in 2019, we design modular, weatherproof gear systems, led by our flagship collapsible 70L Gear Box, that help people store, carry and move their gear so they can spend less time packing and more time outside.

We're building this brand in the open, and we want our community along for the ride. We're looking for a native social media person who lives and breathes Instagram, TikTok and YouTube, and who knows both the art and the science of making content for them. You'll capture the building of RUX from the inside: in the shop, on the road, at events and in the mountains.

You'll report to our Creative Director and own the day-to-day of our social channels. This is a fast-paced, demanding role. We have content cadence goals to hit and a high bar for what makes the feed.

What you'll do

Create and Share (~50%)

Film, capture and edit short-form content for Instagram, TikTok and YouTube, mostly on an iPhone

Use in-platform tools and apps like Instagram Edits and Adobe Rush to move from idea to published quickly

Edit on the fly from the studio, on the road, at events and in the field

Write captions and hooks that sound like RUX

Help develop and run a signature content series that gives our channels a recurring anchor

Curate (~15%)

Treat each feed and grid as a whole, with real care for how it looks and reads over time

Decide what makes the cut. Not everything is good enough for the feed

Balance that bar against cadence goals, and hit both

Own the YouTube channel page: playlists, sections, featured content and Shorts, organized so a new visitor knows where to start

Design thumbnails and write titles that earn the click, and test what works

Package and publish the long-form videos our editor produces

Build community (~25%)

Respond to comments and DMs, start conversations, and flag customer issues to the team

Use proven techniques to grow followers and prompt engagement

Take part in community moments at events, on camera and off

Measure (~10%)

Track what's working on each platform and turn the numbers into what we try next

Research industry trends and apply learnings to RUX channels

In the field

Travel to events, trade shows and customer visits, and work them: setup, conversations, filming

Drive overland-style trucks and long-wheelbase Sprinter vans

Travel comfortably in the mountains while filming

Join in on mountain biking, overlanding and whatever else the community is getting after

What you bring

1 to 2 years running social channels for a brand, a creator or yourself, with work you can show

Deep, current knowledge of what works on Instagram, TikTok and YouTube

Working knowledge of YouTube as its own platform: thumbnails, titles, playlists and Shorts versus long-form

Fast, confident shooting and editing on a phone

A track record of building and engaging a community through social

A sharp eye for detail and a strong sense of curation

Clear writing with personality, and the ability to match a brand voice

The organization to hit a demanding cadence without dropping quality

A valid driver's licence, a clean record, and comfort driving large vehicles

Ability to work from Squamish and travel regularly, including some evenings and weekends

Video skills beyond the phone: filming on a dedicated camera, editing longer pieces, and producing your own shoots start to finish

Experience with an outdoor, e-commerce or consumer brand

Real involvement in overlanding, mountain biking, skiing or camping scene

Familiarity with Meta Business Suite, TikTok and YouTube analytics, or a scheduling tool

Basic HTML/CSS or Shopify theme editing

Familiarity with Canva, Meta Business Suite, Google Analytics or a scheduling tool

Compensation and benefits

Salary range: $58,000 to $68,000 per year, depending on experience.

Health and dental benefits after the waiting period

Product discounts and free RUX gear

Vacation, flexible time and any other perks

Room to grow into a larger marketing role as the brand grows
