Join our team
BWSS is a feminist ending violence organization with an entrepreneurial spirit on a mission to end gender-based violence. For over 40 years we’ve walked alongside cis and trans women, femmes, and transfeminine survivors providing advocacy, amplifying resilience and resistance, and we’re just getting started. We are committed to doing the work and putting survivors at the centre. A mission like ours needs a perspective like yours, that’s what makes us stronger.
BWSS is known for its inclusionary hiring practices. We offer the opportunity to work within an accomplished team making a difference every day on the frontline and beyond.
The following positions are currently available:
Manager, Retail Services and Programs (My Sister’s Closet)
Do you believe fashion can fuel change? That thrift can transform lives? That a store can be more than a store—an engine for justice, sustainability, community and ending gender-based violence?
If so, this might just be the best job in the world.
At BWSS (Battered Women’s Support Services), our eco-thrift boutique My Sister’s Closet is more than racks of clothing and artisan treasures. It’s a thriving social enterprise that generates critical funds to end gender-based violence, advances circular economies, is part of the fashion revolution movement and provides real support to survivors. It’s a space where volunteers build skills, artisans showcase their work, and every supporter, shopper, volunteer, donor, customer becomes part of a movement for gender equity and environmental justice. We’re looking for a Manager, Retail Services and Programs to bring vision, leadership, creativity and hustle to this work. You’ll lead a dynamic mix of staff and volunteers, expand our Women’s Artisan Program, keep our boutiques and online shop buzzing, and position My Sister’s Closet as a hub for intersectional feminist advocacy and community impact.
