About Us
Trans Film Mentorship (TFM) is a nonprofit organization that envisions an industry where equity-deserving professionals can access, sustain, and grow meaningful careers. To realize this, the TFM creates career pathways in the Canadian film and television sector for trans and non-binary professionals through paid work-integrated training, tailored career mentorship, and industry community-building. TFM works in partnership with major productions (Netflix, CBC,Shaftesbury, & Crave, ) and industry unions (IATSE 873, IATSE 667, NABET, DGC) to build inclusive workplaces and advance sector-wide trans representation through our programs.
Over the past five years, TFM has established a strong reputation for delivering high-impact programming that aims to support participant entry, retention, and growth within the industry. Now, TFM is ready to grow, scale our programs, and ensure the sustainability of our organization as our dedicated Co-Founders transition into Board of Director roles
About the Position
We are seeking a Managing Director to take on the direction and leadership of TFM in collaboration with the Board of Directors. As our first senior operational hire, you will provide team leadership and oversight to ensure programs are high-quality and responsive. Reporting to the Board of Directors, you will manage grants, finances, human resources, governance, and operational systems for a growing nonprofit with a budget of $200K+ annually.
This position requires flexibility and a willingness to work across all levels of the organization. The successful candidate will know when to set direction, when to oversee, when to delegate and when to work alongside the team to get things done. The role combines shaping strategy while executing the day-to-day.
While this is currently a fee-for-service position, it is TFM's intention that the Managing Director role formalizes into a full time, permanent role as organizational infrastructure and capacity increase. This is an exciting opportunity for a passionate leader who can help us grow and grow alongside us.
