Vancouver, Canada Take a Hike Foundation Full time

Are you a database enthusiast looking for an engaging, rewarding, and supportive work environment?

Take a Hike has a strong workplace culture that prioritizes kind and open communication. An enthusiasm to learn and grow as a fundraiser is important, but cultural fit is paramount. The way we speak to each other, to donors and to partners is the same across the board. We are an agile and flexible group of cause-driven, passionate, and dynamic individuals driven by supporting youth development, mental health, the land-based learning, and education. We embrace humour and work collaboratively to reach success.

Take a Hike cares about and supports its employees while also challenging them to grow and develop with the company. We trust and respect each other and have a shared commitment to personal, professional and community success.

Does being part of this type of culture excite you? This just might be the opportunity for you
