Marketing Content Creator

Role overview

Ascendant is a Canada-based global provider of international business-to-business payment solutions, with operations in the United States. The marketing team is looking for a Marketing Content Creator to help shape how the brand, products, and campaigns are presented through compelling content and thoughtful storytelling.

This is a practical, early-career role for someone who enjoys building content hands-on. You will take product messaging, campaign concepts, and customer stories and turn them into engaging assets across social media, video, graphics, presentations, sales collateral, web content, and event materials.

You will partner closely with marketing, sales, and product teams to produce content that makes complex subjects easier to understand and helps position Ascendant as a modern, reliable leader in global payments.

The ideal candidate is creative, inquisitive, and proactive. Since the payments space can feel highly technical or dated, this role calls for someone excited to make it feel more approachable, relevant, and engaging. Success here requires initiative, momentum, sound judgment, curiosity, and the ability to work well in a fast-moving B2B setting.

This opportunity is best suited to an early-career marketer with strong storytelling instincts and a desire to gain broad exposure across many areas of B2B marketing.

The position is a one-year maternity leave contract with a chance of renewal. It is based in Toronto and requires working from the office four days per week.

Compensation: CAD 48,000 to CAD 50,000 per year.

• Work with internal experts to translate financial and technology topics into content that is clear, relevant, and easy for customers to engage with.
