Come Work With Us
We are hiring: Digital Media Creator (DMC)
The DMC will be charged with developing two digital projects at the PEI Museum and Heritage Foundation:
1) Writing, recording and producing videos for the Island Digital Voices project
2) Writing, recording and producing a fourth season of the Foundation’s official podcast: the hidden island.
In addition to these two main projects, the DMC may be asked to occasionally assist in the creation and development of digital content for the Foundation’s website and social media channels. Such content might take many forms: social media posts, articles, blogs, images, audio/video footage, and more. These duties, however, will be secondary to the two main projects, and will only be undertaken if they do not interfere with those projects.
Deliverables completed by March 31, 2024 will consist of at least three (3) completed videos for the Island Digital Voice project and at least four (4) completed episodes of the hidden island podcast. The date for the completion of deliverables can be changed if that changed is agreed to by both the employer and the DMC.
The employee will begin work as soon as possible and finish their term on March 31 2024, working a total of 20 weeks, 37.5 hours per week (with a possibility for extension upon funding). The rate of pay will be $21.00 per hour.

About the PEI Museum and Heritage Foundation
The PEI Museum and Heritage Foundation is an integral part of the Prince Edward Island community. We operate seven provincial museums and heritage sites across Prince Edward Island, providing Islanders and visitors alike with an opportunity to discover our province's heritage and culture.
The Foundation is responsible for the provincial collection of more than 100,000 artifacts. Our staff provides professional conservation and collection services to outside groups, individuals, and organizations. The Foundation publishes its official journal of PEI heritage and culture twice a year: The Island Magazine. The Foundation also has an official podcast, the hidden island, which shares stories about the hidden heritage in our province and discusses why that heritage is still relevant today.
Our mission is to preserve the heritage of Prince Edward Island for present and future generations.
The PEI Museum and Heritage Foundation is stronger and most effective when we reflect the diversity of the Island population we serve. We are dedicated to building and promoting a diverse, equitable and inclusive workforce, representative of our Island community.
