  • Schedule meetings, prepare agendas, take detailed notes, and track action items using shared project management tools.
  • Develop briefing materials, presentations, internal memos, and external communications (e.g., drafts for blog posts or website info).
  • Support Sustainability team with contracts and invoicing, as well as project management as needed.

Experience:

• Experience: 2–3+ years of experience in project management, corporate social impact, non‑profits, policy operations, or a highly related coordination role.
• Cross-Functional Communication: Excellent written and verbal communication skills. Proven ability to lead meetings, facilitate conversations with internal/external executives, and synthesize complex updates clearly.
• Regional Knowledge: Experience working at both a national and local level (e.g., managing local Canadian affiliates or chapters of a broader organization). French proficiency is a plus.
• Data & Budget Savvy: High proficiency in spreadsheets, data management, and basic financial analysis (e.g., tracking large budgets, invoicing, and reporting).
• Technical Toolkit: Expert in Google Workspace (Docs, Slides, Sheets, Calendar, Gmail). Proficiency with tools like Slack, Oracle, Jira, Mode, or similar project management systems is strongly preferred.

Benefits:

• Extended health and dental coverage options, along with life insurance and disability benefits
