About Dog Tales Rescue & Sanctuary:
Dog Tales is a world-renowned dog rescue and horse sanctuary set on an incredible 50 acres of green fields, rolling hills, and wooded areas in King City, Ontario. Our picturesque location - complete with walking trails, therapy pools, and a grooming spa - is the perfect setting for abused and neglected animals to heal and be rehabilitated while they wait for forever homes. Along with medical care, our team provides all of the love, attention, and training that our rescue animals need to recover from their difficult pasts, so that they can move on to permanent, loving homes, which most do. For the rest, Dog Tales is home for as long as they need it to be.

- Schedule content (photos, videos, stories, reels, etc.) that aligns with the Dog Tales brand and mission.
- Manage and grow our existing social media accounts (Instagram, Facebook, X, etc) with consistent and on-brand posting.

- Work with the Media team to plan and execute campaigns, highlight rescue stories, promote adoptable animals, and events.
- Stay up to date with social media best practices, trends, and platform updates to keep content fresh and effective.
What You Bring:
- 2+ years experience managing social media accounts professionally
- Proficiency in content scheduling tools (e.g., Later, Hootsuite, Buffer, Meta Business Suite)
- Ability to work independently, manage multiple projects, and meet deadlines
