Textbooks for Change (T4C) is a B Corp and start-up that provides affordable and accessible educational materials to students both locally and abroad.

We repurpose used textbooks to create social impact and improve the educational landscape for students around the world. We do this by:

• Donating thousands of post-secondary textbooks to African universities annually
• Selling affordable used textbooks to North American students and using proceeds to help fund student-led impact initiatives
• Diverting thousands of textbooks from landfills by recycling them efficiently

We’re a fast-growing social enterprise in need of a dynamic, entrepreneurial, and hardworking individual to support us with Business Development and Marketing.

Your Role

1. Collaborate with the Business Development and Marketing teams to support our growth and further our social impact
2. Research new opportunities and develop pipelines for growth and expansion (US community partners, student groups, and promotional partners)
3. Prospect and manage partnerships via lead qualification, cold e-mails, and CRM tools
4. Develop marketing content, campaigns, and initiatives that connect post-secondary students with our social impact, purpose, and brand to optimize our presence across campuses
5. Represent Textbooks for Change at events and other engagements

You Have

• Two or more years of post-secondary education
• Leadership experience at the post-secondary level (club, sports team, sorority, etc.)
• Experience in the social impact space (non-profit/volunteer work, fundraising, etc.)
• Balance: You know how to manage your time and prioritize what needs to be done
• Confidence: You believe in yourself and the team around you
• A life: You have passions outside of work and contribute to your community

You Are

• Passionate for social change: Making a dent in the universe is important to you
• Entrepreneurial: You know what it means to grind, and you will get the job done no matter what comes in the way
• Fun: You are easy to get along with and have a positive attitude
• A fast learner: You are hungry to take on new projects to expand your knowledge; You execute, make a mistake, learn, and iterate to always be improving
• A great communicator: You know how to keep everyone in the loop and get your message across clearly and concisely
• Respectful: You are a leader, but you know when to follow
• Focused and flexible: Sometimes you’ll work from the office, sometimes from home, and sometimes on the fly; no matter where it is, the job gets done
• A leader: You have experience leading a team through stressful situations, achieving amazing results in the end
• Fast paced: You thrive in stressful situations and are able to juggle multiple projects

What This Job Is Not

• Easy: This job will be the most challenging role you’ve ever had. Working at a start-up is hard. Building a start-up while making a major social impact is harder. This job will test you and in the end, you will have one damn good story to tell
• Consistent: We expect you to find solutions, learn from mistakes, implement processes, and move on to the next project
• Structured: Your day-to-day will change constantly adapting to the company’s needs

We Need You To Do

• Think big: Execute in the moment, but always think ten steps ahead
• Innovate: Push both our social and business impact forward

To Be Eligible, Students Must

• Be between 15 and 30 years of age at the start of the employment
