About AIA Canada The Automotive Industries Association of Canada (AIA Canada) is the national voice of Canada's automotive aftermarket. We advocate for the industry, deliver research and data, and bring the sector together through events, training and membership.

Our MarComms team creates for a family of four brands: AIA Canada, YPA (Young Professionals in the Aftermarket), CCIF (Canadian Collision Industry Forum) and I-CAR Canada (collision repair training). The work spans national conferences, sponsorship programs, advocacy campaigns, websites, email and social channels.

The role The Multimedia Creative Specialist is an entry-level, hands-on creative role on our MarComms team. You'll create design, web, video and photo content for four brands, with day-to-day guidance and training from the Integrated MarComms Lead. This is a fully remote position.

This role is a great fit for a recent graduate or early-career creative who enjoys variety. In one week you might lay out event signage, edit a short recap video and update a web page. You'll work from our templates and brand guidelines, write short copy when needed, and use AI tools to get everyday tasks done faster.
