ABOUT RED CLOUD STUDIO
Red Cloud Studio (operating as Ray Gosselin Architect Limited / RGAL) is a Regina-based, Indigenous-owned and operated architectural and design consulting firm celebrating 13 years in business. We operate from the Atim ka-mihkosit (Red Dog) Urban Reserve in Treaty 4 Territory and serve Indigenous nations, Federal, Provincial, and private clients across institutional, commercial, educational, community, and memorial design. Our work has been recognized nationally — including a 2023 Heritage Saskatchewan Award — and internationally, with representation at the 2018 Venice Biennale and design expertise brought to London, England in 2025.
We are a community-focused, relationship-driven, interdisciplinary studio. How we show up in the world — digitally, visually, and strategically — matters deeply to us. This role helps us show up well.
THE OPPORTUNITY
The Research & Communications Coordinator will help position Red Cloud Studio publicly, strengthen our industry visibility, and support our strategic communications — using digital tools, platforms, and data to keep the studio visible, connected, and relevant. This is a tech-immersive role for a student who is curious, digitally fluent, and motivated by meaningful work.
This is not a traditional marketing job. It is strategic communications and research work in support of an Indigenous-led design practice doing work that matters.
