• Ownership of initiatives that span audience growth, brand marketing and product marketing;
• The chance to work alongside award-winning journalists and bring impactful journalism to new audiences;
• Exposure to emerging technologies, evolving consumer behaviours and digital subscription strategies;
• Significant visibility across the organization and opportunities to develop as a marketing leader;
• The ability to make a measurable impact on both business performance and Canadian public discourse.
