ABOUT THE ROLE

Sony Pictures Imageworks is looking for a Studio Communications Specialist to help us build something new — a single, trusted home for studio communications that makes it easier for everyone across our Vancouver, Los Angeles, and Montreal sites to find what they need, trust what they read, and feel connected to the work and to each other.

This isn't a traditional communications role. We're not building a comms department or adding more noise to anyone's inbox. We're building a well-organized hub on Confluence, and you will help bring it to life. You'll write the content, shape how it's organized, and help content owners across the studio keep it fresh and useful.

You'll work shoulder-to-shoulder with people right across the studio. Department Heads, show and production team members, technology and pipeline folks, and our support offices, from an artist and engineer to the President's office. If you're early in your communications career, you write well, you love organizing information so people can find it, and the idea of doing it at a studio that makes the films people love sounds like a genuinely great time, keep reading.

WHAT YOU'LL BE DOING

• Build the hub — Be part of the project team that stands up our studio communications space on Confluence from the ground up: page structure, templates, navigation, and the standards that keep it consistent and easy to find your way around.
• Help write the studio's content — Draft and edit clear, warm, human content: studio updates, a short bi-weekly Studio Brief, hub pages,. You'll write the way people actually talk here: fun, friendly, credible, never corporate or over-produced.
• Support content owners — Different leaders own different areas: studio updates, technology, office and facilities, events, and shows. You'll help them get their content up and keep it current, writing alongside them and holding a consistent voice. They own it; you make it easy.
• Run the calendar — Own the content calendar and the rhythm (what goes out, when) and sequence it around the studio's real life: holidays, festivals, big show moments, and quiet periods across all three sites.
• Listen and adapt — Run light, regular pulse checks, watch the data/signals and talk to users, especially early on: what people are reading, what they're subscribing to, what they're struggling to find, and propose adjustments based on what you hear.
• Keep it alive — A hub is only trusted if it's current. You'll be the steady hand that keeps it fresh, accurate, and worth coming back to.
• Build for everyone — Keep all three sites in mind, including our Montreal team and the realities of working across languages and timezones, so nobody feels like an afterthought.
• Hand it forward — Help the studio build the muscle to run this on its own over time. The goal isn't to make us dependent on the role — it's to leave behind something strong, simple, and self-sustaining.

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

• A genuinely good writer — You can take a messy update and make it clear, warm, and human. You instinctively avoid corporate-speak and jargon, and you can find a voice and stay in it.
• An organizer at heart — You love structuring information so people can find it. You've built or meaningfully contributed to an intranet, wiki, or internal site and project of a similar scope/size before and you get a quiet thrill from making something tidy and navigable.
• Early-career, high-capability — Likely 2–4 years in internal communications, content, or a closely related role in a discipline like HR. We care far more about how well you write, organize, the projects you’ve been part of and how you work with people than about a long résumé. We’d love to see writing samples if you have them.
• Great with people across the board — You're as comfortable talking with a senior artist as with the President's office. You earn trust with production and creative people and busy leaders alike, and you can keep people gently on track without being a nag. You meet people where they are.
• Calm, organized, and self-driving — You're excellent at time management, sequencing, and juggling several threads at once. You can take ambiguity and bring order to it.
• Curious and a quick learner — You ask good questions, pick things up fast, and actually want to understand how a studio like this works.
• Excited by this world — You think working at a place that makes this kind of work is genuinely cool, and that energy shows up in how you write and what you build.
• Nice to have: hands-on Confluence experience; familiarity with creative, production, or studio environments; a good eye for simple, visual page layout.

HOW THE ROLE WORKS

• A fixed-term contract of approximately 12 months, with the possibility of extension or transition to a permanent role over time.
• Based in Vancouver or Montreal, and worked primarily remotely, with periodic time on-site at our Vancouver or Montreal studios.
• You'll report to the studio's Communications Advisor through the build phase, working closely together day-to-day, before the role settles into an internal reporting line over time.

The anticipated base salary for this position is $32.60 - $43.30/hr CAD. Benefits are per company policy: which include healthcare, tuition reimbursement, RRSP's, Sick and Vacation leave, standard increases as applicable. The actual base salary offered will depend on a variety of factors, including without limitation, the qualifications of the individual applicant for the position, years of relevant experience, level of education attained, certifications or other professional licenses held, and if applicable, the location of the position.

We value unique perspectives, and want diverse, unique talent to work with us. We encourage candidates from all identities to apply.
