Media Intelligence Lead (Remote, Volunteer, Full Time)
MEDIA INTELLIGENCE LEAD — 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 Media Intelligence Lead within the Global Narrative Integrity Team at Right to Live Canada.
The Media Intelligence Lead is responsible for directing the organization's global monitoring and narrative intelligence capability. This position oversees the collection, organization, and analysis of international news coverage, opinion pieces, parliamentary discussions, podcasts, social media trends, academic publications, and emerging digital narratives relating to Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD) and associated public policy issues.

This role serves as the organization's early-warning system, enabling the Global Narrative Integrity Team to respond proactively to emerging issues while maintaining an evidence-based, non-adversarial approach to public engagement.
As the department expands, the Media Intelligence Lead will recruit and mentor regional analysts covering North America, Europe, the United Kingdom, Latin America, Asia-Pacific, and multilingual media environments.

- Maintain monitoring dashboards, alert systems, and intelligence databases in collaboration with Digital Operations.
- Mentor new analysts and develop standardized intelligence collection procedures as the department grows.
- Continuously improve monitoring methodologies through the evaluation of new technologies, search strategies, and analytical techniques.
This is a high-responsibility leadership role requiring exceptional analytical judgment, situational awareness, and organizational leadership. The Media Intelligence Lead is responsible for ensuring the organization maintains a comprehensive understanding of the evolving global information environment while enabling timely, evidence-based decision-making across every department. The expected commitment is 35+ hours per week, with flexibility during periods of heightened media activity or major international developments.
