WE ARE HIRING!
CONTENT CREATOR + SOCIAL MEDIA STRATEGIST

About the Role
This isn’t your average desk job. We’re looking for a bold, creative storyteller who’s ready to hit the road and bring our region to life - on camera, online, and in the hearts of travelers.
You’ll be the digital voice of our destination, creating content that’s fresh, fun, and trend-forward while managing and growing our social media presence. You’ll work closely with our Marketing Manager, who is driven, talented, and passionate, and we’re looking for someone who brings that same energy and focus.

What You’ll Be Doing
• Create high-impact content (video, photo, reels, stories, blogs) for local businesses, tourism experiences, itineraries, and events
• Travel regularly throughout the Hope, Cascades, and Canyon region to capture authentic moments and hidden gems (Bridal Falls – Hope – Boston Bar – Manning Park) including weekends
• Organize content in SnapSea and share it with stakeholders
• Be the face of the brand - host videos, appear in stories, and engage with audiences
• Manage and grow social media accounts across platforms (Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, LinkedIn etc.)
• Develop and execute social media campaigns that drive engagement and tourism
• Build and maintain monthly and annual content calendars
• Schedule and optimize posts using tools like Hey Orca
• Track performance and create monthly analytics reports with actionable insights
• Engage with followers - respond to comments, DMs, reshare content, and build community
• Collaborate with local businesses to spotlight their stories and services
• Stay ahead of trends in social media, tourism, and digital storytelling
• Experiment with new formats like live streams, polls, challenges, and interactive content
• Capture behind-the-scenes moments that showcase the personality of the role
• Attend local events and festivals to create real-time coverage and buzz
• Build strong relationships with local businesses and partners
• Working with influencers and content creators

Who You Are
• Tech-savvy and fluent in the language of social media
• Confident, outgoing, and comfortable in front of the camera
• Obsessed with trends, aesthetics, and storytelling
• Skilled in photography, videography (Nikon mirrorless), and editing (mobile or desktop tools)
• Organized, self-motivated, and strong in time management
• Passionate about supporting local businesses and exploring the outdoors
• Able to work independently while staying connected with the team
• Have at least 2 years of experience in content creation and social media management, with a portfolio that demonstrates your creativity, storytelling, and results
• Hold a valid driver’s license and have access to a reliable vehicle for regular travel throughout the region

Bonus Skills
• Graphic design (Canva, Adobe Suite)
• Experience with influencer collaborations or UGC campaigns
• Familiarity with SEO and digital marketing basics

How to Apply
To apply, please send us:
• Your resume
• A cover letter that includes the word “salmon” somewhere in the text - yes, really. It can be a story, a metaphor, a pun, or just a random shoutout
• A short reel & carousel post showcasing how you would promote this region - creativity and sense of humor matter
• Your portfolio - show us your work and make us want to keep scrolling

APPLY AT: [email protected]

Only selected applicants will be contacted. But if you make us laugh, you’re already halfway there.

Job Type: Full-time
Salary: $60,000
Deadline: May 9, 2026

Let the sound of falling water carry your thoughts away. 🍃✨

Tucked away in the heart of Manning Park Resort, Three Falls Trail is a 9.3 km out-and-back hike that takes you through serene forest and lush meadows. Along the way, you’ll discover (you guessed it) three stunning waterfalls. 🌊

This moderately challenging trail is perfect for nature lovers and waterfall chasers looking for a peaceful escape into the wild. With an elevation gain of about 289m, it’s doable for most hikers and absolutely worth every step. 🌿💦

Have you hiked this trail yet? Tag a friend you want to hike with and save this post to add it on your 2026 Bucket List! 🌞

What a wonderful afternoon we shared with all the families last Sunday! 🐰

A huge thank you to Envision Financial for sponsoring the pony rides - it was such a special treat for everyone. We’re also incredibly grateful to everyone who chose to donate to the food bank. Together, we raised over $400 and 20 lbs of food, and thanks to your generosity, many families will be supported and provided for by Hope Community Services!

A big shoutout to Mountain Melodies for teaching both children and adults about different instruments - what a fun and engaging experience that was! They also presented three amazing stories at Blue Moose Coffee House that truly captivated audiences of all ages.

We wrapped up the evening at Blue Moose Coffee House thank you to Faye and her team for always being so welcoming and accommodating.

Finally, thank you to all of our volunteers (Advantage Hope, Hope Communities in Bloom) and to everyone who came out to join the fun. We are so thankful for this incredible community and the spirit of togetherness that makes events like this so special!
