Description
MANAGER –SYSTEMS CHANGE
WHO WE ARE
Founded in 1986, Prosper Canada is a national charity dedicated to expanding economic opportunity for Canadians living in poverty through program and policy innovation.
As Canada's leading national champion of financial empowerment, we work with government, business, and community partners to develop and promote financial policies, programs and resources that transform lives and foster the prosperity of all Canadians.
Prosper Canada does not deliver services directly to people living on low incomes. Instead, we work with public, private and community sector partners to ensure quality financial empowerment (FE) supports (including effective policy and regulation) are available to all people living on a low income in Canada.
At Prosper Canada, we value being collaborative, human-centered, and forward-thinking. We recognize, accept, and celebrate our differences. We see power in diversity, equity, and inclusion, and believe we can help everyone thrive by being our boldest true selves. Diversity is at the core of what we do and who we support to build financial health. Our financial empowerment efforts focus on equity-seeking groups including those living on low incomes, Indigenous Peoples, members of racialized communities, and people living with disabilities.
We strive to create a culture where all feel valued, respected, and a true sense of belonging. We are looking to bring diverse perspectives that represent the lived experience, needs and challenges of equity-seeking groups.
Join us in supporting and empowering everyone in Canada to prosper.
THE OPPORTUNITY
Prosper Canada is seeking a dynamic and motivated manager to advance our system change policy and advocacy efforts. In this exciting role, you will help inform policymakers of the financial challenges of people with low incomes in Canada and coordinate our efforts to identify and promote policy and regulatory solutions to these challenges, including expanding access to quality community financial help services through government programs and investments.
Our policy efforts are primarily focused on the federal government, but we also work directly with the Government of Ontario and support our regional partners in their provincial/territorial policy and advocacy efforts.
You will report directly to our Director, System Change but also work with our CEO, VP – Strategy and Impact, Research and Evaluation team, Marketing and Communications team, and key stakeholders from our network.
We value collaboration and partnership in everything we do, and the following principles guide our policy and advocacy work:
Some of our expected priorities over the short term include:
