Careers

Brand Strategy

Digital Platforms & Analytics Specialist

Hamilton, ON

See Job Description

Hamilton Health Sciences Foundation is looking for a Digital Platforms and Analytics Specialist to support the digital systems that power our fundraising. Reporting into the Creative Director of the Brand Strategy department, you’ll help create and maintain donation and campaign pages, support community and DIY fundraisers, and ensure our digital platforms are accurate, intuitive, and donor focused. You’ll also play a key role in making sense of performance data. From building dashboards to tracking campaigns across web, email, social, and paid channels, you’ll help turn numbers into clear insights that guide decisions and improve results.

You’ll manage tracking standards like UTMs and QR codes so we always understand where traffic and donations are coming from. This role is a mix of hands-on digital work and analytics. One day you might be launching a campaign page or supporting a community fundraiser, the next you could be reviewing performance trends or refining how campaigns are measured. If you’re someone who enjoys combining technical skill with thoughtful design and data-driven thinking, and you want your work to make a real impact in healthcare, we’d love to hear from you.
