CARE Canada’s Strategic Plan, From Caring Comes Courage, sets out CARE Canada’s commitment to bring all our resources, talent, and expertise together to unlock women’s leadership for a gender-just future. It recognizes that to lead change and realize a better life for herself and her community, every woman needs to be safe, healthy and have a dignified livelihood. It also fundamentally realizes that ‘business as usual’ is no longer good enough: this Plan challenges us to reimagine how we achieve our mission, inspire Canadian investment in that mission, and transform our organization to be future-ready.

These AI capabilities may be incorporated progressively as business needs, data readiness, governance requirements, and technical feasibility are confirmed.

This role will help develop scalable digital enablement tools that can be adapted across multiple projects and business areas, supporting budgeting, forecasting, reporting, program management, data access, and operational decision-making. The role requires strong SQL Server experience, preferably Azure SQL, Power Apps/Power Platform skills, and modern development capabilities using tools such as Visual Studio, VS Code, and contemporary web frameworks.
