The most interesting of the opportunities we've seen this week:
Local food service organization The Stop, which runs everything from a farmers' market to nutrition classes for kids, is staffing up for the summer season. Among the positions they are looking to fill: three
community garden assistants to take on maintenance, garden tours, and community event organizing; a
cooking and growing assistant to develop activities for children in summer camp programs and assist with other programs as needed; and a
food bank animator to support the weekly Tuesday market, as well as the drop-in and food bank programs. All of those posts are 12 week contract positions, and start at the beginning of June.
In the cultural sector, a couple of key organizations are looking for help. The Theatre Centre—which recently completed a major overhaul of an historic Queen West building that will now serve as its new home and a local arts hub—is looking for a
general manager to oversee this new phase of their growth. Candidates should have at least three years of experience in non-profit arts management. And Harbourfront Centre needs an
online content specialist to research, write, and edit materials for all their online sites and platforms.
Digital retail startup Slyce,
which we featured last week, is growing, and therefore also hiring. Currently they are seeking an
iOS developer, a
systems engineer with at least five years of experience working in a Linux environment, and a
database engineer, also with at least five years of Linux experience. All positions are full-time, and come with employee stock option plans.
Also in digital hires, Forward Vision Games, which develops games that help build financial literacy, is looking for a
developer to work on their cloud-based simulation games.
