About this position

If you can read and write, you can learn to do and be anything. That’s the idea behind CODE (formerly the Canadian Organization for Development through Education).

We imagine a world where every child can read and write – a world where every young person can pursue their education and realize their full potential. For nearly 60 years, CODE has been working to build such a world. From humble beginnings in a church basement, we have grown to become one of Canada’s leading international development organizations uniquely focused on children’s literacy and education in low-income countries.

This is a new position on CODE’s Fund Development and Marketing team – one that will be critical to helping CODE achieve its three-year growth agenda. We are seeking a deeply motivated and highly skilled integrated marketing professional who will thrive on a fast-paced team that seeks to deliver maximum impact for CODE’s charitable mission.
