Position Summary:
The Canadian Football League is seeking a dynamic, energetic, and dedicated individual with a passion for Canadian football, a talent for developing content, and a command of social media to assume the important position of Manager, Digital Content, as the CFL approaches the 2012 season and the celebration of the 100th Grey Cup.
Reporting to the Vice-President, Communications and Broadcast, the Manager, Digital Content is responsible for the strategy and execution of the CFLβs digital content, particularly as it pertains to the leagueβs flagship website, CFL.ca, associated sites, and the leagueβs social media presence.
