    Description

    About LandSeed

    LandSeed is a non-profit committed to reimagining entry-level housing for future generations. Our goal is to create inclusive communities where homeownership is accessible for all, and everyone has the opportunity to build a stable, fulfilling future. At LandSeed, we create solutions for the Canadian housing crisis by collaborating with communities and industry partners to identify barriers and create real pathways to homeownership.

    Our Commitment

    We are driven to uplift those in housing ownership need, including first-time homebuyers, seniors, immigrants, single parents, environmentalists, veterans, and individuals with disabilities. Our vision is to pioneer data-driven designs and value structures for entry-level housing across Canada.

    Job Description

    The Marketing and Communications Lead guides how LandSeed’s work is positioned, communicated, and trusted both internally and externally. This strategic role focuses on narrative development, clarity, and positioning rather than campaign execution, supporting initiatives across housing, community development, and applied technology while helping ensure the organization’s story and impact are communicated with consistency and purpose.

    Strategic Marketing Guidance

    • Advise on marketing priorities aligned with organizational goals
    • Guide content strategy without owning day-to-day production
    • Help evaluate what not to do as much as what to do

    Internal Alignment

    • Work with leadership to align messaging across fundraising, partnerships, and community work
    • Support clarity for stakeholders, funders, and collaborators

    Required skills and qualifications

    Education

    • Bachelor’s degree in Marketing, Communications, Public Relations, Brand Strategy, Business, or a related field, or equivalent professional experience
    • Advanced education or professional development in strategic marketing, narrative development, or mission-driven work is a plus

    Technical Background / Experience

    • 10+ years of experience in marketing, communications, or brand strategy.
    • Experience with mission-driven or complex systems work
    • Later-career professionals seeking flexible, meaningful contribution
    • Strong judgment around narrative, tone, and trust
