-
You naturally take ownership and enjoy making things happen.

Why Coriander?
At Coriander Life, we believe shopping should be fun. Our customers come to discover beautiful gifts, home décor, books, games, puzzles, stuffies, and unusual finds—and they return because of the experience our team creates.

We look forward to meeting you.
Marketing Coordinator
Full-Time | In-Person | Downtown Collingwood
Coriander Life and Coriander Style are looking for a Marketing Coordinator who can help keep our stores — and our marketing — lively, consistent, and well organized.
This is a hybrid role combining hands-on marketing responsibility with time on the retail sales floor. You need to genuinely enjoy both.
Part of your week will be dedicated specifically to marketing. During that time, you will be responsible for planning, creating, and completing marketing work independently — from social media content and weekly emails to promotions and store events.
The rest of your week will be spent working with our customers and team at Coriander Life and Coriander Style.
We are looking for someone who is creative, but equally importantly, organized, dependable, and good at getting things finished.
Marketing Responsibilities
You will take responsibility for keeping Coriander's marketing organized, current and consistent.
This includes:
-
Maintaining and working from a weekly and monthly marketing calendar
-
Planning, creating and scheduling consistent social media content
-
Shooting and editing simple, engaging photo and video content in our stores
-
Creating Reels, Stories and other social content that feels current and reflects our brand
-
Creating our regular email campaigns using Klaviyo
-
Writing clear, engaging captions, emails and promotional copy
-
Updating our Google Business profiles and other digital listings
-
Helping plan and promote store events, sales and community initiatives
-
Coordinating marketing materials and deadlines with the marketing team
-
Reviewing basic marketing results and identifying what is working
-
Keeping projects moving without needing constant reminders or supervision
We don't expect one person to be an expert at absolutely everything. We do expect you to already be comfortable creating digital content and to have demonstrated experience managing marketing work from idea through to completion.
Retail Responsibilities
You will also be an active member of our store team.
This includes:
-
Working scheduled shifts at Coriander Life and Coriander Style, including some weekends
-
Helping customers and contributing to store sales
-
Building genuine relationships with our customers
-
Supporting merchandising and visual presentation
-
Helping maintain beautiful, welcoming and well-organized stores
-
Contributing positively to the team and jumping in where needed
You'll Be Successful At This Job If You:
-
Are extremely organized and naturally keep track of deadlines, details, and commitments
-
Are a self-starter who doesn't need someone continually checking whether something got done
-
Have hands-on experience creating social media content for a business or organization
-
Understand that successful social media requires consistency, not just occasional great ideas
-
Can comfortably shoot and edit short-form video content
-
Have a good visual eye
-
Write clearly and naturally
-
Enjoy learning new digital tools
-
Can move between creative work, administrative details, and a busy retail environment
-
Genuinely enjoy working with customers
-
Take pride in finishing things well and on time
Experience We're Looking For
Previous experience in marketing, social media, communications, or content creation is required. Experience with some of the following would be particularly valuable:
-
Instagram and Facebook
-
Reels and short-form video
-
Klaviyo or another email marketing platform
-
Shopify
-
Google Business
-
Basic photography and video editing
Retail experience is strongly preferred.
What Matters Most To Us
You don't need to know every platform we use on your first day.
You do need to demonstrate that you can: Plan. Prioritize. Create. Follow through.
We need someone who can be given responsibility for a project, organize the work required, and make sure it gets completed.
Why Work at Coriander
Coriander is an independent retail business that has been around for more than 27 years, with two shops in downtown Collingwood.
You'll work with two distinctive stores, lots of great products, and a team that likes trying new ideas. You'll have real ownership of your work and the opportunity to see the impact of what you create. No two weeks are quite the same.
