Up Here Publishing is an Indigenous-owned publishing company based in Yellowknife, Northwest Territories. Through Up Here and Up Here Business, we share the people, places and stories that make Canada’s North extraordinary.

We’re looking for a creative social media and design intern to help bring those stories to more readers, grow our online presence and support our marketing projects. You’ll work alongside our publishing and creative team, gaining hands‑on experience in magazine publishing.

The position

- Paid, 16-week internship
- 40 hours per week
- Location/work arrangement: work from home
- Hourly wage: $19.50/h

What you’ll do

- Create and schedule content for our social media channels.
- Design graphics for social posts, promotions, and potently assist with advertising if needed.
- Help promote subscriptions, upcoming issues, contests and special projects.
- Engage with our online community and track how content performs.




- Work with our team to keep our branding consistent and our content fresh.
