The most interesting of the opportunities we've seen this week:
We're still in the middle of autumn, but retail operations are starting to plan for the holiday shopping season. Two environmentally-friendly shopping venues that are hiring seasonal retail help: Evergreen, which is looking for assistance
in their Green Market from November 15 to the end of December, and Grassroots, which needs cashiers
for both their Riverdale and Annex locations.
A few other environmental positions are currently open. The Environmental Commissioner of Ontario, an independent office that monitors the provincial government's compliance with environmental legislation, is hiring a
project coordinator. In addition to the usual project management skills they are hoping to find someone who is familiar with environmental policy and government procurement practices. The Metcalf Foundation is seeking a
new director of their environment program—a senior position for someone with at least eight years of relevant experience. And the Toronto chapter of the Canada Green Building Council is hiring a
program and communications manager, to plan their events and oversea all marketing.
For those with an interest in the cultural sector, the Ontario Arts Council is filling two jobs right now. One is for a
communications assistant to help with media monitoring, outreach, and departmental operations; the other is for a
granting support assistant to provide administrative support. Both positions are billingual. Also, Lord Cultural Resources, which provides planning services to heritage and arts institutions, is hiring a
graphic designer for a one year contract, with the possibility of becoming a permanent employee thereafter.
Finally, there are a couple of opportunities right now at CNIB. They are seeking a new
manager, grants and foundations, for someone to tackle outreach and donor relations. They are also looking for a
digital marketing specialist, to oversee a variety of sites and platforms.
