Working at BookNet

Our mission

BookNet Canada is a not-for-profit agency dedicated to coordinating technological change for Canada’s book industry. We develop technology, standards, and education that make it easier for our stakeholders to promote and sell books, reach new audiences, and stay abreast of ever-changing new technology.

Our customers are spread throughout the industry and come in all shapes and sizes, from independent booksellers to multi-national publishing houses. We’re a small, dedicated team of developers, project managers, and publishing pros making up, as The Globe and Mail puts it, “the book industry’s supply chain nerve centre.”

We have a serious commitment to work/life balance. For contract and full-time employees, we offer medical and dental benefits, summer hours, flexible work times, RSP matching, and employer-sponsored volunteerism. We are a remote workplace and have employees across Canada.

BookNet Canada recognizes that to build the best products and services for the Canadian book industry, we have to work with the best. We recognize our work is improved by working with a diverse group of people with expansive skills and experience under their belts. We do not discriminate based on race, religion, indigeneity, colour, national origin, gender (including pregnancy, childbirth, or related medical conditions), sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, age, abilities, or other legally protected identities.
