JOURNALIST RELATIONS MANAGER — VOLUNTEER, FULL-TIME

Organization: Right to Live Canada

Department: Global Narrative Integrity Team

Location: Remote (United States, Canada or Europe)

Time Commitment: Full-time volunteer commitment, 35 hours per week. Duration negotiable, four month minimum.

This is a remote volunteer opportunity with Right to Live Canada, a virtual-office based Canadian non-profit start-up.

------ THE MISSION

Right to Live Canada exists to realize the right to live as a practical, supported, executable choice.

We were founded in response to systemic poverty-driven euthanasia amongst Canadians with disabilities: cases where Canadians choose MAiD because they cannot access the essentials required to continue living. This is a specific form of economic euthanasia: euthanasia where a preferable living future existed, but was not achieved.

That crisis remains our founding application point. It is not the boundary of our work.

Right to Live Canada is building Continuity: the service, financial, technological, and institutional architecture required to keep life connected to preferable living futures. We work from the recognition that biological escape velocity may become achievable for a significant portion of people alive today, and that the right to live must now be pursued with the seriousness, urgency, and scale appropriate to that possibility.

Our four core areas are:

• Continuity Service — developing a service to identify, propose, finance and execute preferable living futures in the event of potential death.
• Continuity Insurance — developing a finance model for Continuity Service in the event of potential death scenarios.
• Social Brokerage — developing a system to productize and sell the anonymized outcome of a life supported to the global market as an impact product in exchange for the capital to accomplish it, in order to fund those who cannot afford Continuity Service or Insurance.
• Corporate Farming — developing a global-scale system to take concepts, form a structure around them starting with a team, incubate them internally and nurture their growth towards incorporation, and then emit them as formed non-profits dedicated to their founding concept such as a technology, project, infrastructure or issue.

Right to Live Canada is a founder-centric, early-stage non-profit pursuing rapid national and global expansion. We use the advantages of the non-profit form—volunteer-class labor, sponsorship sales, grants, subsidized infrastructure, open development, impact monetization, and institutional farming—to uphold and extend the right to live for humans and, ultimately, other conscious beings.

------ ROLE DESCRIPTION

This is a full-time, volunteer, and remote role for the Journalist Relations Manager within the Global Narrative Integrity Team at Right to Live Canada.

The Journalist Relations Manager leads the organization's Editorial Outreach Department and is responsible for developing and maintaining professional relationships with journalists, editors, producers, publishers, and media organizations around the world. The position serves as the organization's primary point of contact for editorial engagement, ensuring that communication with the media remains respectful, evidence-based, transparent, and collaborative.

Working closely with the Managing Editor, Media Intelligence Lead, and Senior Research Manager, the Journalist Relations Manager transforms verified research into concise, professionally written briefing notes, media packages, and background materials that provide journalists with additional context, supporting evidence, and primary source documentation.

The successful candidate will oversee Editorial Outreach Coordinators responsible for maintaining media contact databases, coordinating outreach campaigns, tracking correspondence, and managing long-term relationships with journalists across print, television, digital media, podcasts, and trade publications.

Rather than advocating editorial positions, this department focuses on supporting journalists through constructive engagement and accurate information.

• Respond professionally to requests for information from journalists and institutional stakeholders.
• Develop standardized communication templates, outreach procedures, and relationship management practices.
• Monitor outreach effectiveness and provide recommendations for improving media engagement strategies.
• Mentor volunteers responsible for journalist outreach and professional communications.

This is a senior leadership position requiring exceptional communication skills, diplomacy, and relationship management. The Journalist Relations Manager serves as the organization's ambassador to the media, ensuring that every interaction strengthens credibility, builds trust, and reinforces the organization's reputation as a reliable source of accurate, evidence-based information. The expected commitment is 35+ hours per week, with additional flexibility during major media events or periods of increased organizational outreach.
