• Champion enterprise risk management and ensure adherence to legal, funding, and policy requirements.
• Align information technology strategy with data needs, operational efficiency, and digital innovation goals.

• Stakeholder & Relationship Management: Build strong partnerships with the Ministry of Health, funders, sector leaders, and collaborators.
• Represent OHTN on external committees, forums, and working groups.
• Serve as a delegate to the Board of Directors and its committees as needed.

• People, Culture & Leadership: Inspire a high-performing, inclusive, and equity-driven team culture.
• Lead and mentor a team of directors across Finance, HR, Communications, and IT.
• Advance organizational priorities in diversity, equity, inclusion, anti-racism, and Truth & Reconciliation.
• Promote a values-based work environment centered on trust, impact, and excellence.

What You Bring

• 10+ years of progressive leadership experience, including 5+ in senior/executive roles.
• A post-secondary degree in health, social sciences, public/business administration, or related field.
• A strategic, systems-level thinker with strong planning, analytical, and decision-making skills.
