AI Sales &amp; Engagement Coordinator 

Digital Sales, Engagement &amp; Learning (DSEL) 
Tamarack Institute 


In the spirit of respect, reciprocity, and truth we honour and acknowledge that our work occurs 

across Turtle Island (North America) has been home since time immemorial to the ancestors of 

First Nations, MeÌtis, and Inuit Peoples. We recognize that, in this territory, Indigenous rights 

holders have endured historical oppression and continue to endure inequities that have largely 

resulted from the widespread failure of non-Indigenous treaty people to hold up their 

responsibilities. 

We acknowledge those who came here as settlers — as migrants either in this generation or in 

generations past — and those of us who came here involuntarily, particularly those brought to 

these lands as a result of the Transatlantic Slave Trade and enslavement. We pay tribute to 

ancestors of African origin and descent and thank them for their contributions towards 

transforming systems in ways that promote everyone’s sense of belonging and safety. 

Tamarack is looking for a creative and motivated early-career professional to join our Digital 

Sales Engagement and Learning (DSEL) team as an AI Sales &amp; Engagement Coordinator for a 1-

year contract position. In this new role, you’ll help us expand into new markets, attract new 

audiences, and generate new revenue using emerging digital tools and AI. The successful 

candidate can be based anywhere in Canada and will work remotely from their home office. 


About Tamarack 

Tamarack catalyzes collective action with diverse leaders to solve major community challenges 

including ending poverty, building youth futures, building belonging, and addressing climate 

change. Our vision is to build a connected force for community change. Through our Networks 

for Change, we support changemakers focused on four outcomes. 


 • Communities Ending Poverty: A network and movement dedicated to ending poverty in 

Canada, made up of more than 400 municipalities and represented by 90 regional

opportunities. 

 • Community Climate Transitions: A movement of 35+ collaboratives across 10 provinces 

and one US state that are advancing local climate action and equity through multi-sector 

partnerships and approaches that centre residents and the community. 


Our Skills for Change initiative supports changemakers by transforming community-developed 

knowledge and success stories into practical tools and skill-building resources. These resources 

advance the five interconnected practices of community change. 


Since its founding, Tamarack has sought to center those with lived and living experience of 

poverty in its work. More recently, in the Tamarack 2030 Plan, we committed to interrupting the 

roles that racism, colonialization, and xenophobia play in communities in Canada. 


At Tamarack, our goal is an end to poverty in all of its forms. In 2020, we set a goal to contribute 

to two million people exiting conditions of poverty, and not just economic poverty but the 

poverty of our disconnection from each other and from other living things around us. Nearly 

twenty-five years of work with communities has shown us that rigorous local collaboration can 

move outcomes not just for some people – but for entire communities. It has shown us that 

rigorous local collaboration is a key component of any form of systems change. 


How we work: 

 • Community Connections: We strengthen connections and collaborations between 

diverse people, organizations and sectors to grow and align our capacity to make a 

difference. We convene spaces where people can develop the skills and networks 

needed for authentic collaboration, community engagement, and participatory 

approaches. 

 • Place Matters: We focus our efforts on places where people live, supporting local place-

based collaboration that is focused on addressing the root cause of community-defined 

components of poverty. 

 • Equity and Inclusion: We engage and elevate the voice of those most impacted by issues 

who have the greatest insight into possible solutions. 

 • Courage and Learning: We ask difficult questions about the systems and structures which 

hold people and communities back and engage in peer-to-peer learning to build our 

capacity. 

 • Systems Change: We organize the thousands of changemakers and the hundreds of 

place-based collaboratives with which we work to change the policies, narratives and 

other systems that hold poverty in place. 

 • Hope and Optimism: We focus on the possible and our collective potential for making 

positive change.
