About The Disability Collective:

The Disability Collective (TDC) is the only fully disability-led multidisciplinary arts organization in Toronto. Dedicated to celebrating and showcasing work created solely by disabled artists, TDC strives to de-stigmatize disability and challenge perceptions of disability by providing disabled artists with paid opportunities to share their work in a variety of forms, along with actively advocating for and improving accessibility and inclusion in the Canadian arts community by providing disability consultation services. We are committed to strengthening the disability community's presence in the arts and creating a space where disabled artists can connect and grow their practices together.

Position Overview:

The Disability Collective is seeking a creative, strategic, and passionate Marketing & Communications Manager to lead the development and execution of marketing and communications initiatives that advance TDC's mission, strengthen our brand, and expand our reach and impact.

This role combines hands-on creative production with big-picture marketing strategy. The successful candidate will be equally comfortable developing a comprehensive marketing campaign, designing compelling promotional materials, editing video content, building relationships with media and community partners, and identifying new opportunities to grow TDC's audience and visibility.

As TDC continues to grow, we are looking for someone who can help evolve our marketing approach beyond day-to-day content creation and event promotion. This includes developing proactive marketing strategies, strengthening our public relations efforts, building relationships with influencers and public figures, exploring new promotional opportunities, and identifying creative ways to engage existing and new audiences.

The Marketing & Communications Manager will work closely with TDC's Artistic Director, Managing Director, and Development team to ensure that marketing initiatives align with organizational priorities, fundraising and development goals, and programming objectives.​

This is a dynamic role within a growing arts organization. Marketing demands will fluctuate throughout the year depending on programming, campaigns, and events, with particularly busy periods surrounding TDC's annual festivals and major programming initiatives. The successful candidate will be comfortable managing competing priorities, adapting to changing circumstances, and balancing immediate promotional needs with longer-term strategic work.

TDC's busiest programming and marketing period typically runs from July through November, coinciding with several of our major annual festivals, conferences, and programming initiatives. During this time, the role will require increased coordination, campaign management, and flexibility to accommodate overlapping projects and deadlines. Workloads fluctuate throughout the year, with comparatively quieter periods outside of major programming cycles. Candidates should be comfortable with this seasonal variation and able to manage competing priorities during busier periods.
