Arcanus Aerial Systems Inc. is a Canadian defence technology company headquartered at Bay Adelaide Centre in downtown Toronto. We design, manufacture and integrate unmanned systems for Canada, NATO and allied governments, across UAS, counter-UAS and integrated defence solutions in the air, land and sea domains. We are a small, fast-growing team with an expanding manufacturing footprint and a growing group of private investors.
The Role
We are hiring a Marketing & Investor Relations Specialist to build Arcanus’s voice with government buyers, the defence community and our investors. This is a hands-on, build-from-scratch role on a small team: you will set up our social channels and content engine in the first 90 days, then support investor communications as the company grows.
First 90-Days
- Launch a consistent Arcanus presence on LinkedIn, Instagram and X, with a weekly content calendar
- Refresh the website, corporate deck and one-page fact sheet into one coherent brand
- Set up investor update templates, a contact database and an approval workflow for every external release
- Plan our presence at upcoming defence trade shows such as CANSEC
