Content and Publications Coordinator

Location:

Ottawa, ON - Hybrid work environment; 2 days a week in the office

Summary
Defence Construction Canada (DCC) is seeking a Content and Publications Coordinator to join our evolving Communications team. Reporting to the Team Leader, Corporate Communications, this role supports strategic communications planning and leads the coordination and production of corporate editorial content, including newsletters, corporate reports, memos and bulletins.

This is a hands‑on role at the heart of our content production. You will lead delivery of DCC’s weekly newsletter—reviewing submissions and working with a writer‑editor to refine content. You’ll bring a strong editorial eye, ensuring tone, clarity and consistency across everything we publish.

You will also support production of major corporate publications, including the Annual Report and Corporate Plan. This includes coordinating inputs, keeping timelines on track, supporting proofreading and approvals, and working with external designers to bring final products together. As part of this work, you will build and manage a library of digital assets—planning photography needs, guiding photo shoots where required, and curating images that strengthen how we tell our story.

We’re looking for someone who takes ownership of their work, keeps projects moving, and isn’t afraid to follow up to ensure deadlines are met. You’re comfortable juggling multiple deliverables, have a sharp eye for detail, and bring sound judgment—whether refining a sentence, selecting an image, or helping stakeholders stay on track. You work well independently and collaborate effectively to get results.
