About Opportunity International Canada

Opportunity International Canada is part of a global movement working to end poverty by providing financial solutions, training, and opportunities that help people build sustainable livelihoods. Our vision is a world where every person has the opportunity to live free from poverty, with dignity and purpose.

Our work is motivated by Jesus' call to love and serve the poor. We serve people of all backgrounds, faiths, and communities and are guided by our values of commitment, humility, respect, integrity, stewardship, and transformation.

Faith & Mission Aligned

Our mission is at the centre of who we are, and this role plays an important part in helping others understand and connect with that mission.

We are seeking a leader who is genuinely drawn to the purpose of Opportunity International Canada and who can authentically represent our Christian motivation, values, and commitment to serving people living in poverty.

The right candidate will understand the importance of faith-based alignment in this role and will be comfortable helping OIC tell its story in a way that is both mission-grounded and engaging.
