What We Bring
The Canadian Centre for Nonprofit Digital Resilience works to create a digitally enabled nonprofit sector, where Canada’s nonprofits use data and tech to multiply their impact. We launched in 2021 and are still in the start-up phase. We bring a diverse group of cofounding organizations committed to supporting the success of the Executive Director (Centraide du Grand Montreal, CIO Strategy Council, Imagine Canada, Indigenous Peoples Resilience Fund, NTEN, SETSI, and Tamarack Institute). We have established relationships with 180 supporting organizations and 200 individual advisors ready to engage in CCNDR’s work. We also have funding commitments that will enable the Executive Director to build a core team and engage in forward planning.
This is an exciting moment to take the helm, and while you will have a lot of autonomy to drive your vision for CCNDR, you will have a strong community around you. In this role, you will have the opportunity to make a difference in the ability of Canada’s nonprofits to serve their communities. While you will work from home, we move quickly, and you will have regular contact with your colleagues.
Compensation will be calculated based on individual experience and expertise. The range for this position is $150,000 CAD to $170,000 CAD. A benefits package will be determined in consultation with the successful candidate.
