Job description

Help Power the World's Biggest Social Justice Movements

Role: Movement Strategy Lead

Location: Canada, remote

Type: 12 month full-time contract

Chuffed.org is a global crowdfunding platform powering the world's biggest social justice movements. We've helped raise over $170M across 35,000 campaigns in 23 countries — and we're just getting started.

In the last year we've grown 4x and become the go-to platform for activists and organizations in two of the biggest social justice movements of our times; Palestine and climate justice.

We're now hiring a Movement Strategy Lead to help us win our next major movement - and the one after that.

About The Role

You'll be the bridge between Chuffed and the activists, campaigners and organizers leading the most pressing social justice fights in the world.

Your goal? Embed us deeply in our next focus movement - so we're not just supporting campaigns, we're powering entire ecosystems of change.

Here's what you'll do:

• Identify and connect with prominent organizers, influencers and grassroots leaders in our next focus movement (e.g., trans rights, First Nations, animal liberation, immigrant/refugee justice)
• Build long-term, trust-based relationships with campaigners learning about their big challenges, collaborating on solutions and ultimately, helping them to launch powerful fundraising campaigns on Chuffed
• Lean on these newly built relationships to secure warm intros within new networks and communities, helping us connect with, and support, even more organizers within the movement
• Spot rapid-response opportunities when moments break (e.g., protests, arrests, raids, disasters, government actions) and quickly help campaigners get fundraising campaigns live - sometimes within hours
• Refine and amplify Chuffed's values-led messaging helping to shape and spread the message that Chuffed is the only crowdfunding platform built exclusively for social justice movements, encouraging more aligned campaigners to join Chuffed
• Be the voice of our focus movements internally. You'll have a front-row seat to what the biggest social justice campaigns actually need to win. You'll take those insights straight to our product team, helping to shape the tools and features that power these movements globally
• Support campaigners post-launch, connecting them with the Chuffed Amplify team who can help get their campaigns in front of our powerful community of Chuffed donors
  
  

In every movement, the large, topical campaigns are the ones that fuel the growth of smaller ones. Those major campaigns don't just land by luck - they come through deep relationships built in advance. That's what this role is all about; being so embedded in the movement that we're ready when the big moments break.

Requirements

What We're Looking For

We care more about your mindset than your resume. If you recognize yourself in the traits below, we want to hear from you:

• You've got solid experience in fast-moving teams. Whether from tech, startups, or consulting, you know how to turn big ideas into practical action and drive real outcomes
• You're entrepreneurial. You've built something before (even a scrappy side project), or have had incredible impact inside an organization
• You've got high initiative. You test ideas, act fast, and figure things out as you go
• You build trust quickly. Campaigners will know that you are in their corner and genuinely want them to succeed. You know how to build rapport and authentic connection
• You're gritty and low-ego. You don't get stuck on your own ideas; you learn, iterate and keep moving
• You're data-savvy. You look at what's working, what's not, and adjust based on evidence.
• You're comfortable with ambiguity. Things will shift quickly as you learn more; you'll thrive on that.
• You're resourceful. You don't wait for perfect conditions; you get stuff done
  
  

Benefits

What You'll Get

• $110K CAD (12-month contract). You'll be joining Chuffed at a pivotal moment of growth. If Chuffed continues to scale at pace in North America, there is potential to stay on and play an ongoing role in shaping Chuffed's presence in the region
• Do work that matters. Wake up each day knowing that you're using your skills and talent to advance social justice across the world.
• Learn from world-changing organizers. You'll collaborate with some of the most inspiring activists and organizers on the planet; from renowned human rights attorney Steven Donziger, to the activists behind major climate protest movements like Just Stop Oil and Last Generation. You'll get a behind the scenes look at how world changing campaigns are built - and play a direct role in helping them succeed
• Be part of a team that cares. No egos, no politics - just passionate, driven people working together to support world-changing movements
• Work from anywhere in Canada. We're a global, fully remote team whose focus is on outcomes. We're open to you working how you work best
• Grow fast. We're in a high-growth phase, and you'll be trusted with big ideas, real ownership, and the chance to shape the direction of the platform
• Join a values-aligned workplace. We're building a diverse, inclusive team, and we strongly encourage people from all backgrounds and lived experiences to apply.
