Social Media Content Coordinator

Ottawa Rapid FC is a founding member of the Northern Super League — Canada's first professional women's soccer league — alongside clubs in Halifax, Montréal, Toronto, Calgary, Vancouver, and Winnipeg (joining in 2027). We're part of something historic, and in year two we're just getting started. At Ottawa Rapid FC, we believe purpose and performance go hand in hand. We push for excellence, chase continuous improvement, and hold ourselves to a high standard — all while staying rooted in the values and community that make this club what it is. If that sounds like your kind of place, we'd love to hear from you. Social media is where most people will experience Ottawa Rapid FC before they ever set foot in TD Place. It's a fact.
