Volunteer with RenoMe.

Volunteer Program Manager

Moving to a new country often means rebuilding professional connections and finding new ways to demonstrate years of experience. Economic pressure and an unfamiliar job market can leave capable professionals feeling overlooked and questioning their value.

RenoMe begins with the belief that those capabilities still matter. Through practical learning and professional connection, we help newcomers, internationally trained professionals, and people in career transition strengthen their professional presence, recognize their strengths, and move forward with confidence.

We are seeking experienced Volunteer Program Managers.

Experience and qualifications

• Demonstrated professional experience leading programs or projects through planning, delivery, and evaluation, with clear examples of responsibilities and results.
• PMO / PMP: Project Management Office (PMO) experience is an asset. PMP certification or active progress toward certification is strongly preferred.
• Strong planning, stakeholder management, team coordination, and management reporting skills, supported by sound professional judgement.
• Professional communication in English and the ability to collaborate across cultural backgrounds. An additional spoken language is an asset.

Professional experience gained in Canada or internationally is welcome.

Program focus

Apply for the program that best matches your experience:

• RenoMe Voice: Professional communication, public speaking, storytelling, facilitation, or learning and development.
• RenoMe to Lead: Leadership development, team management, coaching, organizational development, or cross-cultural collaboration.
• RenoMe for Future: Digital skills, practical AI literacy, workplace technology, career development, or adapting to changes in work.

Responsibilities

• Support executive decisions. Provide concise weekly updates on progress, upcoming milestones, unresolved issues, and decisions required, with recommendations for corrective action.
• Evaluate and improve. Review participation, feedback, and learning outcomes; document improvements and maintain clear records for continuity and handover.
