Novus Automotive is looking for a creative, social-savvy, early-career marketer to join our team as a Social Media Coordinator. In this role, you'll help bring the stories of Ontario Motor Sales (Chevrolet & Cadillac) and Marigold Ford Lincoln to life across social media.

You'll work closely with the Manager of Dealership Marketing and the broader Novus Marketing team to plan content, create posts, capture photos and videos, and engage with our online communities.

Add these insights into a shared document for review with the Manager of Dealership Marketing.
