Content Producer & Social Media Specialist

RYCO Properties

Location: Marlborough Mall, Calgary, AB

Position: Part-time (25–30 hours/week)

Compensation: Starting at $30/hour, with a pathway to full-time

About the Role

RYCO Properties is a Calgary-based real estate and development company shaping communities through commercial, retail, and residential projects. Our flagship property, Marlborough Mall, is home to more than 100 businesses and serves one of Canada's most diverse communities.

We're looking for a Content Producer & Social Media Specialist who is a visual creator first and a social media specialist second.

We're looking for someone who knows how to build a shot, not just capture one. You should be equally comfortable setting up lighting and audio for an interview, producing polished retail and product photography, capturing an event as it happens, or creating a TikTok that feels native to the platform.

Just as importantly, we want someone who understands social media as more than a distribution channel.

You'll work closely with the Director of Marketing to develop ideas, understand what performs on each platform, and actively grow our audiences.

This is a hands-on creative role with significant opportunity to help shape how Marlborough Mall and RYCO Properties tell their stories.

- Interested in both the creative craft and the performance of the content you produce
- Curious, self-motivated, organized and dependable

- Video editing and post-production using Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, DaVinci Resolve, CapCut or similar

- Give Marlborough's retailers and restaurants stronger visual exposure through professional content

What We Offer
