Candid helps businesses solve their content problems quickly and cost-effectively. With more and more platforms popping up, demanding content - keeping up with the consumers demand for novel content can be costly. That is why creating original content for the price of a stock photo is so valuable. And thankfully, you’re here to help.

The role of Brand Coordinator at Candid is all-encompassing and requires a true self starter with an operationally-minded level of organization. You’re part influencer liaison, part networker, part day-to-day coordinator. In addition, you will contribute to the creative energy of the office and our Brands. The main function of the role revolves around managing Campaigns and Brands, and executing on their needs. Other tasks focus on identifying new campaign opportunities within your Brands, curating and growing our network of Creators, and working closely with the Program Manager on the various needs that help our business tick.

The perfect person for this role is someone defined by their curiosity, attention to detail, solid taste, and tenacity to get the job done. Frustrating things happen all the time when it comes to distributed content - someone not hitting the brief or missing a deadline can’t deter you. The world is your oyster in this role and the growth opportunities are limited only by your ideas for the business itself.
