About the job:

This contract position commences January 5, 2026 . The successful candidate will receive two weeks of paid, full-time training before fully transitioning into the role on January 19th .

The accounting coordinator position is primarily work-from-home , but the accounting coordinator is the sole team member responsible for banking, and as such must make weekly visits to Vancouver locations such as Room ’s office in Mount Pleasant, a P.O. box in South Granville, and Vancity and Canada Post locations (to send and collect cheques). These tasks are required for Room to be able to operate, so this is non-negotiable.

The office has desks and a kitchenette for optional office work . The accounting manager must attend regular online meetings , including bi-monthly staff meetings, monthly board meetings, and quarterly editorial meetings.

Compensation:

- $24.16/hr, 40 hours a month (10 hours/week)
- Highly flexible remote work policy

Deadline (extended): December 20, 2025

Who We Are Looking For:

Our ideal candidate will be passionate about Room ’s mandate, which is to serve writers, editors, and artists of marginalized genders, including cis and trans women, trans men, Two-Spirit, and nonbinary people, with a special focus on the voices of 2SLGBTQ+, BIPOC, and disabled writers, editors, and artists. A strong commitment to anti-oppressive practices in publishing is a requirement. The ideal candidate will have a strong understanding of the Canadian literary scene, familiarity with Canadian arts nonprofits, and previous work experience in finance.

Applicants must be self-starters comfortable with self-directed work and taking initiative. We are seeking someone who has experience in creating and maintaining a budget and managing large data sets. Knowledge of the Canadian literary community is expected, and familiarity with CanLit journal publishing is an asset.

Room emphasizes robust training, resources, and circular mentorship. We encourage applicants not to self-reject for not meeting all qualifications, and to consider their transferable skills when applying. The accounting coordinator works closely with the managing editor, the treasurer, and the rest of the board, and the outgoing publisher will remain on the Growing Room Collective and provide transitional support.
