Help us serve over 96,000 of Manitoba’s healthcare professionals. We are HEB Manitoba, one of the largest pension and benefit plans in the province.

We’re looking for a versatile Communications Specialist - Digital & Social Media who enjoys translating complex information into clear, usable digital content. As our organization continues to evolve, this role will help establish and develop our social media presence.

This hands‑on role will be rounded out by basic short‑form video production and communications support to business areas.

What you’ll be responsible for:

- As part of a website redesign project, work with the communications team to determine what existing content should be revised, retained, or retired before migration to the new CMS.
- Support content migration, testing, and quality assurance,



helping ensure pages display correctly and content functions as intended.
- Serve as the CMS specialist, maintaining and updating site content and supporting other team members in making updates within the redesigned website.
- Monitor site analytics and recommend improvements based on user behaviour.

Communications Support to Business Areas

- Meet with the business teams to understand and translate needs into digital content to support service delivery, including social posts, web updates, and short videos.
- Translate complex information into plain‑language that is easy for members to understand and use.
- Ensure all member‑facing materials meet accessibility standards and are consistent with organizational brand and visual guidelines.

Video Production

- Plan, shoot, and edit short‑form videos for social and web.
- Add captions, simple motion titles and branded intros/outros.

Education and Experience

- Five or more years of communications experience in a corporate environment. Experience in pension, benefits, insurance, or financial communications would be an asset.
- Post-secondary degree or diploma in communications, journalism, public relations, marketing, or a related discipline.
- Strong understanding of major social media platforms (e.g. Instagram, Facebook, Linked In), their respective audiences and best practices.
- Demonstrated experience planning, creating, and publishing social media content that successfully engages users across platforms
- Experience translating complex or technical information into clear,



engaging social content tailored to platform and audience.
- Experience working with content management systems (CMS) and an understanding of web usability and accessibility best practices.
- Experience supporting website redesign or content migration projects would be an asset.
- Experience creating short explainer, information or people-focused videos.
- Proficiency with the MS Office suite of programs. Familiarity with Share Point would be an asset.
