Currently, we follow a hybrid workplace model with some positions expected to work three days a week from our office at the ZoomerMedia complex in Liberty Village. Our hours can be somewhat non-traditional since we cover a lot of events, nightlife, brunch restaurants, breaking news and other things happening in Toronto on evenings and weekends.
Before you apply for any of the jobs below, make sure you follow us on some of our social channels. We want to make sure you're familiar with what we do as we create a lot of video and other content you won't find here on the website.
All permanent full time positions come with benefits like health, dental and uncapped vacation days, as well as one additional flex day per month.
