Junior Marketing Communications Manager - Montreal, Canada

Are you good with words and passionate about climate change and sustainability? 

Ecometrica has an opportunity for an entry-level Junior Marketing Communications Manager to help transform our communications and join our Montreal team contributing to Ecometrica’s success, on a full-time or part-time basis.

Who are Ecometrica?

Ecometrica measures a company’s impact on the climate and also monitors the changing climate’s impact on them. Our mission is to bring clarity to environmental data by delivering accurate, complete and relevant information faster and more efficiently than anyone else. 

It has never been more important to encourage companies to measure their greenhouse gas and natural capital impact, but numerous companies, particularly in North America, still have their heads in the sand. Equally consumers are demanding that companies are more proactive about monitoring where they source their products from. Using satellite data we monitor deforestation in key commodity growing countries (Ghana, Mexico, Nigeria, Indonesia) to ensure that their commodities (cocoa, palm oil, soy etc..) are not linked to deforestation. 

We have global reach with offices in London, Edinburgh and Montreal. Our clients are leading organizations from private, public and non-profit sectors.

You will join our small but ambitious Marketing team to help bring our brand to a wider audience in North America.

• Is a strong communicator with excellent written English and interpersonal skills.
