…you may be interested in applying for a Fundraising Co-Manager position at Inter Pares, a social justice organization based in Canada. Inter Pares works with more than 70 social justice organizations across 15 countries, including Canada, to build peace, advance justice and globalize equality.
Inter Pares is a non-hierarchical organization where full-time staff co-manage the institution through consensus-based decision-making. Though everyone plays a different role, we share equal responsibilities, equal participation in decision making and an equal base salary. The successful candidate will be part of the co-management team and will be expected to share responsibility for Inter Pares’ financial, administrative, and political well-being and direction. All co-managers participate in management committees, administration, raising funds, donor relations, board relations, external representation and public engagement.
The Fundraising Co-Manager will build and strengthen relationships with new and existing Inter Pares donors, with emphasis on major donors. They will be required to collaborate with fundraising and program managers to research, develop, implement and assess strategies for various fundraising streams (major gifts, direct mail, foundations, digital). They will engage program managers and the Board of Directors to support fundraising efforts and build donor relationships. They will be required to monitor internal and external fundraising trends and adapt strategies as needed. This position is full-time, based in Ottawa.
Inter Pares’ 2025 co-management salary starts at $82,074. The position also comes with a generous benefits package that includes extended health and dental coverage, life insurance, retirement planning benefits, and a staff wellbeing fund. All new staff begin with four weeks of vacation that is prorated in the first year. Vacation days also increase with seniority in length of time at Inter Pares.
The position is based in our office in Ottawa, which is centrally located close to downtown and is readily accessible by public transit and bike lanes. (Note that the building is not currently fully wheelchair-accessible, but the upper floor is accessible via an elevator lift.) Inter Pares has a hybrid work model. For newly hired staff, in-office presence is required for 30 days during the first 60 business days (three months) of onboarding. In-office presence is required for all staff at least five days per month (excepting summers), which must include all in-person program and staff meetings (these occur on the first and third Wednesday of each month).
The ideal start date is September 22, 2025 (to be negotiated with the selected candidate)
Candidates must have legal permission to work in Canada. Interested persons should submit their CV and a cover letter in English elaborating why they are interested in working at Inter Pares and the skills and experience they would contribute.

Candidates must be available for interviews between August 11 to 29, 2025. As Inter Pares uses consensus-based decision-making, the shortlisted candidate will then have an additional 5-8 small-group conversations with the rest of the co-management team, ideally between September 1 to 9, before a final hiring decision. These are two-way conversations, so that the candidate can also ask questions and learn more before deciding to join, if invited.
The primary interview will be in English and French. The interview will also include a writing test in both English and French. We are happy to provide an accessible interview and employment environment and accommodation if required. Inter Pares assumes reasonable interview-related expenses; as compensation for time spent engaging with our interview process, all candidates who reach the interview stage will also be paid commensurate with current co-management salary, prorated by the hour.
Inter Pares is committed to working within an anti-racism, anti-oppression, and anti-colonial framework, and recognizes that systemic privilege and oppression have strongly shaped staffing patterns in international cooperation. We strongly encourage applications from women, racialized people, Indigenous people, migrants, people with marginalized sexual or gender identities, and people living with disabilities. We invite candidates to share how they personally identify in their application if they wish to do so.
