The Canadian Wool Council / Campaign for Wool Canada is looking for a thoughtful, organized, and proactive person to join us this summer through the Canada Summer Jobs program.

This remote position will support the development of our next Strategic Plan for Canada’s wool sector. It’s a great opportunity for someone interested in research, sustainability, agriculture, textiles, public policy, or sector development—and who wants to contribute to meaningful national work.

You’ll help with literature reviews, research summaries, stakeholder outreach, interviews, surveys, and keeping project materials organized as we shape the next chapter of our organization’s work.

We’re looking for someone with strong writing and analytical skills, great attention to detail, and the ability to work independently while staying connected in a remote team environment. Experience in research, communications, or project coordination is an asset, as is familiarity with tools like Google Workspace, Zoom, HubSpot, or Miro.

The role is open to candidates anywhere in Canada, with a mid-June start date and an 8-week contract (280 hours total).

Applicants must meet Canada Summer Jobs eligibility requirements, including being between 18 and 30 years old and legally entitled to work in Canada.
