The most interesting of the opportunities we've seen recently:
Attention journalists! Local weekly the
Grid is hiring for a
deputy editor—a rare opportunity in a sector where full-time jobs are increasingly scarce. They're looking for a risk taker, and someone who is in love with the city. And while book publishing is often in the same boat, hope is not lost: the Literary Press Group of Canada (an association of nearly 60 publishers) is looking for an
executive director, to advocate for the industry, engage with readers, and manage the services provided to its members. Finally, Green Teacher magazine has a one year paid internship opportunity for an
editorial and marketing assistant; if things go well it could lead to permanent employment.
On the communications and web side of things, the non-profit organization that puts on the JUNO Awards is looking for a
digital media coordinator to manage all their websites and social media platforms. The job requires considerable technical skills, ranging from CSS to video editing.
For those with an interest in nature LEAF (Local Appreciation and Enhancement of Forests), a non-profit that protects urban trees, needs a new
project manager to cover a one year maternity leave. Job duties are split between program development, human resources management, and strategic planning. And for those who like to wander the city streets, Walk T.O. is hiring
walking tour guides for the fall season, to lead elementary and high school students in educational walks.
If traveling by bike is more your speed, Transportation Options, a non-profit that tackles sustainable mobility, is hiring a
marketing coordinator for their cycling programs. The position involves some development as well: they're hoping the successful candidate will help them generate new revenue streams.
Finally, two positions to tell you about at major incubation hub MaRS. MaRS Innovation, which focuses specifically on commercialization, is looking for a
manager to engage with researchers and handle some specific technology transfer activities. And the MaRS Discovery District is looking for a
senior manager, digital, to oversee all online communications.
