Job Description

We are the world’s leading paddlesports media company. 

We have one Film Festival Sales and Marketing Specialist position to fill immediately or by May 31. This is a new full-time position at either our Revelstoke, British Columbia or Palmer Rapids, Ontario office.

As the Paddling Magazine and Kayak Angler gear editor/writer, you will be responsible for producing boat, board, gear, apparel and gadget service-oriented and entertaining editorial content.

The goal is to provide exceptional, essential, engaging, informative, honest and credible news and reviews more paddlers are searching for. It’s the stuff our readers need, want and enjoy, extending our reach and creating more loyal fans who turn to Paddling Magazine and Kayak Angler for every gear purchase decision they make. Responsibilities include researching, planning, coordinating, assigning, writing, photographing, filming, editing and publishing while meeting deadlines and following guidelines.

You’ll collaborate and coordinate with the editorial and marketing teams to develop efficient and synergistic plans to maximize value and reach.

Expect to work in a variety of digital publishing and distribution platforms as well as with photography, video and social media.

You should have an understanding and voice of authority when writing about paddling—including whitewater, canoeing, kayak touring, standup paddleboarding and kayak fishing—and the paddling industry. Our readers are paddling and fishing enthusiasts. You don’t work at Car & Driver because you own a minivan; you must be a car nut. In our case, you must really know paddling and all the stuff we use to do it.

Headquarters is located in Palmer Rapids, Ontario. Or you can work out of the new Revelstoke office tucked between the Monashee and Selkirk Mountain Ranges of southeastern British Columbia. Our desks here are 1.8 kilometres from Revelstoke Mountain Resort, where we ski and ride mountain bikes. We canoe and kayak on Lake Revelstoke and the Columbia River and chase river levels of the Illecillewaet, Jordan and Clearwater, to name-drop a few classics.

The team consists of publisher, director of marketing, media sales team, advertising and sponsorship coordinator, magazine and web editors, graphic designers, film festival tour coordinator and finance and circulation managers. Most of us wear flip-flops every day and have never been caught wearing ties at our desks.

There is a long list of job responsibilities, qualifications and requirements, but we believe the right candidate will already know the skills and experience he or she will need to excel at all this.

The position is in-house, full-time and year-round. It's a dream job, but it’s a real job.
