ethicalDeal was born out of a mission of making GREEN mainstream. We use the group-buying model to introduce people to GREEN alternatives - making it easy and fun for people to discover their GREEN city!

After a successful launch in Vancouver, ethicalDeal is growing and needs some talented people to help make it happen.

In general, we’re looking for people who know and love their GREEN city. ethicalDeal is a fast-paced and fluid startup – so you should be able to think on your feet. You have to be hardworking, self-motivated, blah blah blah, all that stuff that everyone says.

Join us as we advance the GREEN movement on a city-by-city basis across North America!

ethicalDeal is Hiring a Victoria Community Manager (Full-Time Position)
We’re looking for a community manager to engage the Victoria community at events, sponsorships and through social media. Community Managers play an integral part in supporting activities designed to rally the ethicalDeal community both on and offline.

Do you love your GREEN city? Are you the go-to person when it comes to the GREEN scene? Are you the hub of your social world – a connector that knows everyone and everyone knows you? As a local Community Manager, you’ll be an ethicalDeal employee (working out of your home or anywhere with an internet connection!) at the helm of a vibrant, buzzing community of locals who love to discover their GREEN city through daily deals from local green companies. Community Managers are driven, self-motivated, charismatic and organized as they’re tasked with wrangling a slew of to-dos both on and offline.

Every week, you’ll plan, negotiate and execute cool, fun, and buzz-worthy events and campaigns. You’ll meet with ethicalShoppers, attend community events, see and be seen. You’ll do marketing outreach, identifying sponsorship opportunities with cool organizations and then make it happen! You’ll co-manage the local Twitter and Facebook account, as well as brainstorm and execute social media promotions that engage our community in our vision of making green mainstream. You’ll write our daily deal descriptions that seek to entertain the reader rather than bore.
