Are you a tree hugger trapped inside a business suit? Are you the visionary who 'gets' how green business is great business? Are you looking for a way to reconcile your skills and your values? Got a bit of energy and feel like leading a revolution?
Green Enterprise Toronto <http://www.greenenterprise.net> is looking for a new Executive Director to become a key player in the greening of North America's fourth largest urban market. If you love big challenges and got business creds to boot, this is the job for you!
GET believes that Toronto can become a sustainable city by supporting its local, green businesses. Through market research, consumer awareness campaigns and building the capacity of locally-owned businesses, GET is the necessary catalyst to make this vision a reality.
We've spent the last four years building up our network of 300+ green businesses and it's time to take advantage of it! As the new leader of this network, you would become the voice of green business in Ontario. With the right amount of passion, vision, and drive, this job opportunity can become a part of ground-breaking change in the business sector.
We need to be clear. This position won't be a cakewalk. There are no gianormous pay cheques - you will have to raise your own salary. Small businesses can be a bit like herding cats. And the steering committee is full of wily entrepreneurs with too many ideas. For the right person, this is an amazing opportunity.
If we haven't scared you yet, tell us all about yourself.
