TIFF is a unique and dynamic organization. We do not conform to the corporate norm.
Here’s how:
- “Smart Casual” dress code: where jeans are a go and personality is a must! We encourage all our staff to be themselves and to express their own style.
- Open concept work environment: we encourage open dialogue and collaboration in a space filled with lots of natural light.
- TIFF operates 365 days a year and we build flexible work schedules for our staff to accommodate the evening/weekend programming and events taking place in the building.
- Social is TIFF’s middle name! We find any excuse to get together and have a good time. Our active Social Committee plans many events throughout the year — from pizza parties to themed holiday parties, sporting events and more!
