About Us

We are looking for the visionaries, the change-makers, the self-starters who are seeking more from their career. Change begins with the small decisions we make, each day, to support each other and strive to create inspiring educational experiences for all students, no matter where they are or how they learn. This concept connects deeply to the idea that, in choosing a career with Yorkville University, you will have the opportunity to push boundaries, flex your creativity and inspire positive change for many people. It’s also a call-back to the transformative power of education itself. Seek a career that will challenge you to make a meaningful difference through work with a passionate, empowered team in an environment where your voice matters and your ideas are always important.

If you want to shine a light on academic excellence, be empowered to make an impact on the transformation of the Canadian post-secondary education landscape, and work collaboratively beyond levels, join us.

Who we need

Reporting to the Brand Manager, the Student Outreach Manager focuses on promoting the Toronto Film School (TFS) programs to prospective students, parents, high school teachers & staff, resulting in increased growth and revenue. This role requires an ability to communicate effectively with external clients and vendor teams to promote the initiatives of TFS. This role focuses on Ontario and will require travel to schools/events multiple times per week, but travel outside the province may occur as needed.

This position is a temporary maternity leave contract for 12-18 months.

What you will do

• Attend on-site and virtual high school recruitment events, career fairs and secondary education institutions to promote TFS programs.
• Participate in in-person activities with students/organizations/stakeholders (e.g. presenting in front of a group, 1:1 meetings, setting up and managing a promotional booth, managing campus tours and other duties as needed), both planned and ad hoc, and occasionally on short notice.
• Conduct market research to identify new business opportunities and viable recruitment streams.
• Collaborate with cross-functional colleagues in Marketing, Student Recruitment, Communications and Academics.
• Maintain detailed CRM records and provide progress updates, while making suggestions for continuous improvements to current processes.
• Contribute to a positive corporate culture that supports equity, inclusion, learning, and wellness.
• Uphold the integrity of Yorkville University and Toronto Film School in compliance with regulatory standards set by the governing authorities.

What you bring

• Bachelor's degree in business/marketing management or related discipline (or international equivalent).
• Demonstrated ability to work in a collaborative setting, as well as in a self-directed manner, as the situation requires. Must be able to handle multiple tasks, take direction and prioritize effectively.
• Comfortable presenting to various sized groups in different settings.
• Meticulous about tracking, record keeping and reporting – able to understand, develop and manage marketing reports.
• Experience working in highly dynamic and fast-paced settings and/or organizations.
• Experience working in film, TV, or industries related to TFS programs.
• Exceptional verbal and written communication skills and MS Office skills (PowerPoint, Word, Excel, and Teams); experience with CRM systems is an asset.
• Able to work a flexible schedule, which will include remote, office and on-site work, and may occur on mornings, afternoons, evenings or weekends.
• Able to complete a successful police background check as required.
