Job Description

Tasks
Senior Marketing Communications Specialist, Vans:
This is a mat leave contract for 18 months.
What it means to be a star
Without the stars that represent a team, a brand alone is incomplete.
Mercedes-Benz Canada represents not only the world's oldest automotive brand, but one that is at the cutting-edge of sustainability, design, technology, fashion and popular culture.
The iconic three-pointed star is always looking for the best and brightest to support its growth as a true luxury brand.
We are seeking individuals who want to be in the driver's seat of this transformation, working alongside talented colleagues who represent the Mercedes-Benz values and who are ready to add their talent to the brand's ever-evolving story.
How your role will add to the story:
This role is all about bringing the Vans brand to life through tactical execution and customer loyalty communications. You will support campaign rollouts, strengthen dealer engagement, and ensure communications are aligned with brand standards across NAFTA. While the role is focused on tactical delivery, it offers exposure to strategic initiatives and the opportunity to grow into broader responsibilities over time.
A day in life:

• Execute tactical marketing communications aligned with the NAFTA Creative Campaign Strategy, Loyalty, and CRM.
• Coordinate with agencies on day-to-day campaign deliverables, manage timelines, and track KPIs.
• Provide reporting and actionable recommendations on campaign effectiveness and deployment.
• Support the development and implementation of brand guidelines and communication standards across the Vans division and dealer network.
• Administer the Tier III Dealer Marketing & Co-Op Program, including fulfilling dealer requests, coordinating with agencies, and producing regular reporting.
• Analyze dealer program utilization, recommend improvements, and support revisions that drive stronger dealer participation.
• Partner with field personnel and stakeholders to optimize dealer initiatives and ensure alignment with sales and customer service priorities.

Mercedes-Benz Canada is committed to fostering an inclusive, equitable, and accessible environment where all employees and customers feel valued, respected, and supported. While we thank every applicant for their interest in joining our iconic brand, we will only contact applicants selected for an interview.
Testimonials from several Mercedes-Benz Canada stars, from an intern to an executive:
"Mercedes-Benz is more than a car brand; it's a futuristic, technological brand continuing to research and evolve its strategy as a digital and luxurious company, all while championing sustainable initiatives."

You are granted the opportunity to drive innovation in several sectors, as this company allows you to take your career wherever you like with our very robust framework of opportunities, whether it's rotations, international assignments, education programs and more."
"As an intern, I feel a great sense of responsibility and accountability at Mercedes-Benz. The high level of responsibility and contribution found in our internship programs is unlike my experience anywhere else."
"Most people, if not everyone, seek a great balance of life at work and outside of it. At Mercedes-Benz, not only does your work life grant you exciting opportunities, but you are also afforded great understanding of your time outside of work - including the right to disconnect."
"Working for Mercedes-Benz, it's certainly the brand and the pillars - but at the end of the day, once you're in, it's about the people, the experience, diverse cultures and backgrounds, everyone's experience driving in one direction."
