[Hiring] Remote Phone Fundraiser @Public Outreach Consultancy Inc

Role Description

Work remotely. Build real connections. Fundraise for causes that matter.

We're hiring Remote Phone Fundraisers to represent nonprofit organizations working on important environmental, humanitarian, and social justice causes. This isn't cold calling, and it isn't commission-based sales. You'll speak with people across Canada who have already interacted with our nonprofit partners in some way – whether they've signed a petition, donated, subscribed to updates, or otherwise shown an interest in the cause. Your job is to turn that existing interest into a meaningful conversation and, ultimately, a long-term monthly donation.

What You'll Do

• Speak with supporters across Canada about important social, environmental, and humanitarian issues
• Tell stories and explain why a cause matters
• Build trust and connection using your voice
• Ask supporters to become long-term monthly donors
• Respond thoughtfully to questions, concerns, and rejection
• Work toward clear fundraising goals
• Participate in regular coaching, workshops, feedback, and skill development
• Learn from experienced fundraisers and continuously improve your communication skills

This is a performance role. Fundraising isn't always easy. You'll hear “no” much more often than “yes.” The people who thrive here are resilient, confident communicators who can stay warm and enthusiastic even after a difficult conversation. You'll be supported with training, coaching, and feedback – but you'll also be expected to work toward your goals and continually improve.

We use ethical, respectful fundraising practices. We're not looking for aggressive salespeople or high-pressure tactics. We're looking for people who can genuinely connect with others and make a compelling case for something they believe in.

Qualifications

• You don't need previous fundraising experience.
• You might come from communications, advocacy, theatre, performing arts, education, hospitality, customer service, public speaking, sales, community work, or another people-focused role.
• Are a confident and engaging communicator
• Can tell a story and make someone care about it
• Enjoy talking and connecting with different kinds of people
• Can persuade someone without being pushy
• Are genuinely interested in social, environmental, or humanitarian causes
• Are comfortable hearing “no” and moving on to the next conversation
• Are motivated by goals and enjoy improving your performance
• Take coaching well and are willing to keep learning
• Are comfortable working independently in a remote environment
• Have enough technical confidence to troubleshoot basic issues when working from home
• Bilingual English/French communication is an asset

Requirements

• A desktop or laptop running Windows 11 or newer
• Reliable high-speed internet capable of at least 50 Mbps download / 30 Mbps upload
• A wired headset with microphone for clear calls
• A private, quiet workspace where you can take calls without interruptions
• Basic technical confidence and the ability to troubleshoot simple issues independently

Compensation & Growth

• This is a guaranteed hourly wage – not commission.
• $19–$24/hour
• Starting rate: $19/hour
• Regular opportunities to increase your hourly rate based on hours worked, performance, and consistency
• Performance-based bonuses and incentives
• Paid training
• Paid time off
• Benefits after 6 months of full-time employment
• Clear opportunities to progress from Fundraiser
• Strong performers can earn more as they build experience and consistently meet their goals.

Schedule

• Minimum 32 hours per week
• Four 8-hour shifts minimum
• Monday–Friday
• Shifts scheduled between 11 AM and 9 PM
• No weekend work to start
