The most interesting of the opportunities we've seen this week:
The Walrus Foundation--the non-profit educational organization that underwrites the magazine of the same name--is looking for a
development coordinator to work with their fundraising team. Duties range from donor relations to grant writing, and there's an emphasis on communication skills. In a similar vein, the Toronto Public Library Foundation, which raises funds to support the city's library system, is looking for a
marketing and communications manager. It's a mid-level position: they're hoping to find someone with at least 3-5 years of experience.
Also looking for communications help is
Earth Day Canada, the environmental charity that runs that event, along with other awareness-raising efforts. And if front-line environmental work is of greater interest, the non-partisan group Toronto Environmental Alliance is seeking
campaigners to knock on doors; both part-time and full-time hours are available.
Two social service organizations are also looking for some front-line help. The National Reading Campaign is on the hunt for a
community manager to develop and implement online outreach efforts. And Operation Springboard, a charity devoted to skills development, is looking for a
financial literacy officer to work out of their Scarborough office.
For those with business or finance skills and an interest in medical science, there are two opportunities especially worth noting this week. One is at the Ontario Genomics Institute, which is looking for a
director of finance who has at least five years of relevant experience as well as accounting certification. The other is University Health Network, which is searching for a
business development officer to work specifically on promoting medical devices that come out of the network's research efforts.
Finally, two tech opportunities to tell you about. One is at the Centre for Social Innovation: they are looking for a
technology lead to manage both the organization's intranet and their public websites. The other is design studio Nascent, which is on the lookout for a
PHP developer for a short contract position.
