Job Description
THE AQUATARIUM
Job Opportunity
App Content Creator
Part-Time, Contract | Reports to Executive Director | Brockville, Ontario
Compensation commensurate with experience | Position contingent on confirmed funding
YOU ARE GOING TO MAKE PEOPLE OBSESSED WITH AN APP.
Not a game app. Not a streaming app. A visitor app for a science attraction full of live otters, river ecosystems, incredible animal habitats, and decades of Great Lakes conservation science.
Your job is to make that app the thing visitors open before they get through the front door, and the thing they are still watching on the couch three days later.
The Aquatarium is a registered Canadian charity and licensed zoo at the gateway to the Thousand Islands UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve. We welcome over 60,000 visitors a year and we are building an app experience that extends the science, deepens the story, and makes people want to come back. We need someone who can fill that app with content so good it feels impossible that it came from a place in Brockville.
That is where you come in.
WHAT YOU WILL ACTUALLY DO
You will create, manage, and publish content directly inside our visitor app. You own the content layer end to end, from concept to live. You will move through our exhibits with a camera and a head full of ideas, and you will make things that make people stop and watch, tap, play, and learn.
That includes:
Short-form educational videos and reels tied to specific exhibits, the kind visitors watch once and then send to someone
In-app games and interactive experiences that extend what visitors see in front of them into something they can play
Photo and video content that captures the real energy of the space, the animals, the science, the weird and wonderful
AI-generated and AI-assisted content, you know the tools and you use them unapologetically to make more, faster, and weirder
Scavenger hunts, trading card reveals, photo frame moments, and gamified experiences that reward curiosity
Content calendars, publish schedules, and in-app content management so everything is live, fresh, and organized
Pitching new content ideas constantly, executing the good ones, and learning fast from the ones that miss
WHO YOU ARE
You already make things. You do not need to be asked twice. You see an interesting animal or a great piece of science and you immediately think about how to make it land on a screen in a way that hooks someone in the first two seconds.
You are:
Genuinely fluent in AI content tools, not dabbling, actually using them in your workflow right now
A natural at short-form video: concept, script, shoot, edit, and that instinct for what makes someone watch to the end
Experienced with app content management or digital content publishing of some kind
Able to make science feel electric to someone who walked in thinking they do not care about science
