  • Discounted hotel stays under Pursuit’s lodging offerings, and discounted food & beverage and retail experiences
  • Access to subsidized mental health and wellness resources
  • Hybrid work schedule available, Calgary, Canmore, or Banff based
  • Opportunities for career growth or future work at other Pursuit locations

What will you do in this job?

Strategy & Planning :

  • Serve as the internal lead for paid media campaigns, working closely with external agencies to manage strategy, execution, and optimization.
  • Collaborate with geography marketing teams to define annual advertising calendar, develop seasonal ad briefs and ensure strategy alignment to business goals.

  • Manage paid media budgets and creative execution costs, including forecasting and reconciliation to ensure efficient allocation and ROI across markets.
  • Campaign & Agency Leadership

  • Lead day-to-day interactions with external agencies and partners, including delivery and management of paid media campaigns and calendar.

  • Leadership & Collaboration

  • Build strong relationships with internal local geography experts, Brand, Revenue, and Lifecycle Marketing teams, as well as contractors, and external agencies to ensure consistent guest experiences, campaign alignment and consistency.
