Marketing & Communications Program Lead

Vision: Our vision is a care economy that strengthens our communities by respecting and supporting workers, families and people who need care.
*Mission: * We build online tools to bring good jobs to care workers, so care workers can provide the best possible care for those who need it.
Carina provides a safe, easy-to-use, care matching service for families and individuals who are in need of home care and nearby child care and connects care professionals with good jobs and more stable income, close to home. In partnership with labor unions, government agencies, and community partners, we bring good jobs for care providers, so they can focus on their passion – caring for others
Unlike for-profit matching services, Carina is a technology not-for-profit committed to prioritizing people first and strengthening communities. We believe communities are stronger when people, regardless of income, can easily and safely access quality care nearby and care providers receive good wages, benefits and access to steady work.
The team at Carina reflects the diversity of the communities we serve. We draw upon our experience in technology, labor organizing, care services, human-centered design, marketing and business strategy to build our service. Compassion, kindness, and a tenacious focus on solving our users’ problems are the driving forces of our work.
Our small-ish (14 total) team is proud of our hyper-functional work culture, flat organization, Agile-based product development process, sustainable pace of work, and our laser-like focus on our mission. You’re gonna like us.
