The experience we need

We don’t believe in adding 10 requirements just to fill a job posting. We keep the list short and only mention what will be necessary for you to perform in this role. If you don’t fit these criterias but decide to apply anyway, make sure you let us know why in the questionnaire you’ll receive later on.

• Accounting clerk or bookkeeping training
• Ability to adapt to a constantly changing environment
• Not afraid to roll-up your sleeves and do the work, even when it falls outside of your job description
• Ability to multitask and change focus rapidly
• Capacity and ambition to learn a lot, very fast. You’re not afraid to tackle a project, even if you’ve never done anything of the sort before.

• Experience in office management

More on the salary

We decided to share the salary associated with this job posting publicly because pay transparency is at the core of Unito and has a tremendous impact on workplace equity.

Two things to note before we get to the numbers:

• We have fully transparent and data-backed salaries. Which means pay is an open and fair discussion at Unito. Read more on exactly what that means here.
• If your salary expectations are higher than the range indicated below, it’s probably because you’re more senior than what we initially targeted. We’re always willing to hire someone more senior if they’re the right fit, and we will always pay our staff fairly. So you should still apply if this role and company are what you’re looking for.

The range:

• Our ideal seniority level: Entry level (level 1 to 1.5 in our leveling system)
• The corresponding salary range: CA$50,000 to CA$70,000

• Work with the team: You'll be working on a real project that Unito needs to get done, not a standardized test. You also get to collaborate with your potential team.
• Get paid: We are not going to waste your time. You get paid for the work you put in, even if we don't end up hiring you.
