Summary

Bell AI Fabric is building Canada's largest sovereign AI infrastructure platform. As Director, Strategy, you will work at the centre of its most important strategic, commercial, and operational priorities, helping shape decisions that will influence the future of AI infrastructure in Canada and ensuring those decisions translate into action and results.

This is a highly visible internal consulting and execution role with unusual breadth and access. Working directly with senior executives, Bell AI Fabric Board members, governments, customers, investors, and strategic partners, you will tackle complex questions with no obvious answer, bring clarity to competing perspectives, and help move the organization from discussion to decision to delivery.

Your work will span corporate strategy, partnerships, government engagement, commercial negotiations, major customer opportunities, and organizational execution. You will build the plans and governance required to deliver, step into critical moments where additional leadership or problem-solving is needed and see recommendations through to real-world outcomes.

This is a unique opportunity for a strategy or consulting professional who wants to help build something consequential, learn quickly across a wide range of issues, and have visible impact. You do not need to arrive knowing every part of the business; success will come from curiosity, sound judgment, strong execution, and a willingness to invest the effort required to figure things out.

Key Responsibilities

• Act as a trusted strategy partner and extension of the executive team, bringing independent judgment, anticipating what is required, and providing hands-on leadership on Bell AI Fabric’s highest-priority opportunities and issues.

• Translate strategy into executable workplans with clear outcomes, interdependencies, milestones, owners, decision points, and escalation paths.
• Drive large, complex, cross-functional projects from initial framing through decision, implementation, and closure; govern progress, remove obstacles, and maintain momentum until the work is complete.
• Identify and fix gaps in processes, decision rights, governance, and operating cadence to improve execution, accountability, transparency, and organizational effectiveness.

Preferred Qualifications

• Management consulting experience or equivalent training in structured problem-solving, analysis, executive communication, and high-quality delivery.
• Strong research and synthesis capability, intellectual curiosity, and a demonstrated interest in learning and becoming credible on new topics.
• Experience supporting partnerships, complex commercial negotiations, or major infrastructure and technology initiatives.
• Comfort operating with ambiguity and making clear recommendations when information is incomplete.
• Consistently high standards for quality, accuracy, pace, ownership, accountability, and follow-through.
• A practical, low-ego working style and willingness to step into priorities where additional leadership, capacity, or problem-solving is required.
• Ambition to learn and grow, resilience under pressure, discretion, and a strong bias toward action and completed outcomes.
