Cobec is where someone can bring their whole self to work and be themselves, never having to compromise their authenticity just to fit in. Lastly, we believe in the work we do, the goals and missions of our customers and the interpersonal relationships we have with clients, stakeholders and our people.

Our ideal candidate will bring a passion for writing, for learning and growing within our organization, and bring energy to the team to further Cobec’s growth. Are you the first to raise your hand when a crowd is asked for a volunteer? This job is for you. We’re looking for someone to be a highly functioning member of the team while exhibiting personal autonomy to take initiative without being asked. Do you naturally become the lead or coordinator on your teams? This job is for you.
