The Municipality of the County of Cumberland is hiring a tourism ambassador to help promote the region during the busy summer months, based at the Amherst Visitor Information Centre on a part-time basis.
Applications are open until June 8, 2026, for the seasonal role, which runs from mid-June through August 31. The successful candidate will earn $17.75 per hour for a 35-hour workweek.
The tourism ambassador will spend one part day each week welcoming visitors at the Amherst centre, a key piece of Tourism Nova Scotia’s new pop-up pilot program launched after the province shifted the Amherst centre to seasonal hours earlier this year. Beyond the welcome desk, the role involves creating social media content, snapping photos and short videos at local attractions, and helping to spread the word about the municipality’s tourism website, ExploreCumberland.ca.
The county is home to several major draws, including the Joggins Fossil Cliffs UNESCO World Heritage Site and Cape d’Or Coastal Park, part of the Cliffs of Fundy UNESCO Global Geopark. Tourism in Nova Scotia brought in $3.7 billion in revenue in 2025, and programs like this aim to keep visitors informed as more trip planning moves online.
Interested applicants can direct their resumes to Human Resources Generalist Kellie Seaman at [email protected] before the deadline.
