Organization
United Way Centraide (UWC) is Canada’s leading network of local community builders empowering people to make lasting social change in their communities. With a presence across Canada, serving over 5000 communities, our network of local United Ways and Centraides tackle the most important social issue of poverty and social exclusion. Our vision is that everyone in every community has the opportunity to reach their full potential.
United Way Centraide Canada (UWCC) is the national office that provides leadership and services to UWC members across the country. Together, the staff, volunteers, and supporters of local United Ways, Centraides and UWCC form the UWC Movement.
As a Canadian Movement with a strong heritage, we value trust and integrity, volunteerism, innovation, partnership, non-partisan leadership, and diversity. It is based on these values that we improve lives and build communities.
Opportunity Profile
This role is an exciting opportunity to provide leadership and support in the evolution and implementation of UWCC’s member development agenda designed to support resilient and high performing organizations. Member development and its associated projects are part of UWCC’s network modernization strategy designed to position the UWC network for long-term growth and impact.
An essential component of this strategy is supporting organizational development through knowledge creation and mobilization. While UWCs are responsible for implementation and management of their organizational practices, UWCC’s knowledge resources and learning programs as well as its professional and regional networks are critical to their success.
As Senior Manager of Knowledge Exchange and Learning, you will be leading and supporting UWCC’s programs and projects intended to develop UWCs organizational capacity, in alignment and support of UWC’s network-level strategic objectives – including the evolution and implementation of UWCC’s Membership Standards.
Through research, member engagement and working cross functionally, you will help identify, prioritize, develop and deliver knowledge resources and learning opportunities that promote strong local organizations that are responsive to emerging areas of practice. United Way Worldwide (UWW), UWCC’s international counterpart implementing a similar strategy, is one of your key partners. While UWCC’s functional teams will develop and deliver their own capacity building measures, you will provide them with planning and implementation coaching support to help incorporate leading practices and delivering on their objectives, and to ensure coherence.
You’ll be a central UWCC point of contact for UWCs to help them navigate available resources and how they may adapt or use them. Excellent collaboration and communication with a variety of stakeholders will be a critical part of your success.
