marketing specialist

We?re Not Just Hiring an Employee. *We?re looking for someone to help build one of Canada?s most exciting Korean brands.* HANKKi is more than a Korean street food restaurant. We're building a brand that connects Korean culture with Canadian communities through food, storytelling, and unforgettable experiences. As we continue to grow, we're looking for a Brand Marketing Specialist who wants to do more than manage marketing campaigns. We're looking for someone who wants to build something. _*What You'll Do*_ Every day will look different. One day, you might be filming behind-the-scenes content during a new menu photoshoot. The next, you'll be meeting with a local business to explore a partnership. Another day, you may be introducing a new campaign on camera or helping organize a grand opening event. If you enjoy variety, creativity, and building relationships, you'll thrive here.

But you should be someone who naturally enjoys: * Meeting new people * Building relationships * Solving problems * Creating content * Taking initiative * Learning quickly We're looking for someone who enjoys being both behind the scenes and in front of the camera. Someone who is equally comfortable attending a business meeting, filming a Reel on their phone, interviewing a team member, or helping launch a new store. _*Qualifications*_ Required * Strong English communication skills * Marketing, branding, communications, or related experience * Comfortable speaking on camera * Experience creating content for social media * Strong organizational and project management skills * Self-motivated with a proactive mindset * Valid driver's licence and ability to travel between locations Preferred * Strong understanding of Korean culture and Korean food * Ability to connect Korean culture with Canadian audiences * Experience in hospitality, food, retail, or lifestyle brands * Experience with partnerships, influencer marketing, or community engagement * Basic photography or video editing skills * Korean language is an asset, but not required _*Why HANKKi?*_ This isn't a traditional marketing role. You'll have the opportunity to help shape the future of a growing Canadian brand from the inside. Your ideas won't sit in a presentation. You'll see them come to life?in our restaurants, our campaigns, our community, and our customers' experiences. If you're excited about building brands, telling meaningful stories, and making a real impact, we'd love to meet you.
