The Montreal International Film Festival (MTLIFF) is an international platform celebrating cinema, culture, and creativity. We support filmmakers who drive global change through impactful storytelling. Together, we are shaping a better world through the power of film.
The Role
We’re seeking a passionate and driven Co-Founder & Director of Operations to join the leadership team of a growing non-profit film organization entering its third year.
Our mission is to showcase socially impactful films with a global reach, connecting audiences, creators, and communities. In this role, you’ll work closely with the Founder and department leads to scale operations, strengthen partnerships, and refine workflows, helping shape the next chapter of the Montreal International Film Festival.

Develop and manage sales, partnerships, and sponsorship opportunities
Coordinate festival logistics and lead volunteer management initiatives
Help design and implement long-term growth strategies

Strong initiative, leadership, and problem-solving skills
Based in Québec (Montreal preferred)
Passion for film, community impact, and creative collaboration
Availability of 15 hours/week initially
This is a partnership role for a highly motivated individual who wants to take real ownership and help lead the next phase of the organization’s growth.
The first three months will serve as a trial period, structured on a commission basis based on progress.
During this period, compensation will evolve into revenue sharing, a stipend and board-level participation as the organization grows and expands.
This structure is ideal for someone who truly wants to be a co-founder, someone passionate about building something meaningful from the ground up, shaping its direction, and making it their own.
Shared decision-making power
Opportunity to co-lead and shape a growing non-profit
Future board membership or revenue-sharing potential as the organization develops
Access to film industry networks and partnerships
