Marketing Communications Specialist full-time
WHO WE ARE
Modo is about transforming communities by connecting people with places in a way that’s affordable, convenient, inclusive and sustainable. We are a pioneer in the carshare sector. In fact, we were the first to open shop in Vancouver and Victoria back in 1997. Modo has remained the only member-owned carshare co-operative – driven by people, not profit – and fueled by our desire to create more livable communities by reducing our collective dependency on car ownership. Our promise is to provide exceptional value and customer service, convenience, choice and an enjoyable carsharing experience. Modo’s employees take pride in being part of an inclusive, passionate, and growing team. Read more about Modo at www.modo.coop.
