Are you passionate about creativity, communication, and social impact? Lidi Wellness is looking for a Marketing Assistant to support our work across multiple ventures, including LidiLit, a self-help startup focused on mental health, family dynamics, queerness, and community wellness. We also run the Dream Team, a community development initiative that supports entrepreneurs facing barriers. This role will help promote both LidiLit and the Dream Team. This is a life-affirming organization with the aim to empower everyone to help each other thrive.

The program meets any entrepreneur where they are at, helping them believe in themselves and their ideas, and giving them the flexible, practical support they need to make progress toward their goals. Anyone can be an entrepreneur, but everyone finds success with varying levels of external support!

Compensation and Structure
This is a contract position that will be evaluated on a month-to-month basis to ensure there is a good fit between you and the client. Hours will be casual to start, somewhere between 10-15 at $20 per hour. As you help the finances of the project to grow (and if a good working relationship develops) you will have the opportunity to earn more. On top of the hourly rate, you may receive a portion of any surplus from a shared pool, with your percentage based on your number of hours relative to the rest of the team. Your potential percentage will be finalized at the beginning of each contract month.
This work will be mostly in person. We meet at the Central Library for now, as there are no company-owned premises. You must be able to travel within Calgary. There will be some independent work that can be done remotely.
Thanks for your interest in this project! However, only those selected for interview will be contacted.
