About Us
Saskatoon Auto Connection is a locally owned automotive dealership and service business offering vehicle sales, automotive service, glass, detailing, and more.
We believe we're one of Saskatoon's best-kept secrets — and we're looking for someone creative and ambitious to help change that.
We're looking for a Marketing & Social Media Assistant who understands social media, loves creating video, and wants the opportunity to build real-world experience while helping grow a local business.
This could be a great opportunity for a student, recent graduate, or someone just getting started in digital marketing, content creation, photography, videography, or social media.
The Opportunity
This isn't a traditional desk job where you'll be asked to simply schedule posts.
You'll be out creating content.
You'll help showcase our vehicles, our people, our service department, our detailing and glass departments, and the personality behind Saskatoon Auto Connection.
Most importantly, we're looking for someone who naturally understands social media — someone who sees a trend on TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, or another platform and immediately thinks, "We could do something like that."
What You'll Do
- Create and publish engaging content across appropriate social media platforms
- Produce short-form video content for platforms such as Instagram, Facebook and TikTok
- Shoot, edit and publish videos featuring:
- Vehicles for sale
- Vehicle walkarounds and features
- Sales team members
- Service and repair
- Automotive glass
- Detailing
- Behind-the-scenes content
- Customer experiences
- Company culture and team members
- Take high-quality photos of vehicles and other business activities
- Potentially take over regular vehicle photography and content creation
- Monitor social media trends and identify opportunities to create relevant content
- Respond to and help manage messages and engagement through our social media channels
- Help develop new and creative ideas for growing our online audience
- Work with the management team to understand promotions, inventory and business priorities
- Track what content performs well and continually improve our approach
- Maintain a consistent posting schedule
What We're Looking For
We're less interested in how long your resume is and more interested in what you can actually create.
You might be a great fit if you:
- Love social media and understand what makes people stop scrolling
- Enjoy making videos and taking photos
- Have a natural eye for interesting shots, angles, lighting and composition
- Can edit short-form video
- Are creative, energetic and willing to experiment
- Follow social media trends and understand current content styles
- Are comfortable being around vehicles and interacting with our team
- Can work independently and take initiative
- Are organized and dependable
- Have strong communication skills
- Are willing to learn and improve quickly
Experience & Skills
Formal marketing experience is not required.
We're especially interested in candidates who have demonstrated their skills through:
- TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, Facebook or other social platforms
- Personal content creation
- Photography or videography
- Video editing
- School projects
- Previous social media accounts or projects
- Creative hobbies or side projects
Experience with tools such as CapCut, Adobe Premiere Pro, Canva, Photoshop, Lightroom or similar software is an asset, but we're more interested in your ability to create compelling content than the specific software you use.
The Person We're Looking For
We're imagining someone who is early in their career but already has a talent and knack for this stuff.
You don't need to know everything.
You do need to be curious, creative and excited about getting better.
If you spend your free time watching videos and thinking about why some content works and other content doesn't, this could be a great opportunity for you.
Reporting To
This position will report directly to Junaed Kabir, our Marketing Director and will work closely with our sales, service and management teams.
Hours
We are open to the right candidate working part-time or full-time, with some flexibility around scheduling.
This could work particularly well for a student or someone building a career in digital marketing, content creation or social media.
Compensation
$18–$22 per hour, depending on experience and demonstrated ability.
Our Hiring Process
Because content creation is difficult to evaluate from a resume alone, candidates who make it to the final stage of our hiring process may be invited to complete a practical content project (by request, to be discussed).
The project will involve spending time with our team and creating a small number of sample videos based on real Saskatoon Auto Connection content.
We believe this gives candidates a chance to demonstrate what they can actually do — and gives us a much better understanding of their creativity, communication, filming, editing and ability to work with a real business.
How to Apply
Please submit your resume and, if available, examples of your work.
This could include:
- TikTok or Instagram accounts
- Videos you've created
- Photography
- Editing projects
- School projects
- Personal or freelance content
- Anything else that demonstrates your creativity
If you don't have a formal portfolio, don't worry. We'd still like to hear from you.
If you're creative, understand social media, love making videos and want to build something from the ground up with a local business, we'd love to meet you.
