Advocacy organization for Canadian small-business owners with 100,000+ members
CFIB is a membership-driven advocacy nonprofit representing independent business owners across Canada, operating a sales-heavy organization (48 of 59 open roles) paired with policy and research functions. The tech stack reflects a traditional enterprise setup (Azure, .NET, C#, Dayforce for HR), but hiring velocity is accelerating and projects signal a shift toward modernization—platform updates, AI-assisted automation, and technical-debt reduction appear alongside core lobbying and member research activities.
