The Position

If the prospect of building a new project and shaping the future of Canada's public media interests you, this position is for you.

We are looking for a visionary leader of great integrity who enjoys working with ambiguity and driving complex, multi-dimensional initiatives. You have a strategic mindset and strong interpersonal skills, and are equally comfortable making budget forecasts as presenting cases to senior management.

Your Responsibilities

In this role, you will design a leadership development strategy in line with CBC/Radio-Canada's institutional strategy 2025-2030, and ensure its adoption across the organization and its sustainability. You will be responsible for a modern portfolio including our flagship development programs, on-demand training, coaching services, and leadership assessments.

Key Responsibilities

• Strategic Roadmap and Modernization: Design and implement a three to five-year leadership roadmap to address gaps in today's required skills (hybrid team management, mastery of digital tools and AI, resilience, inclusive leadership).
• Portfolio and Program Management: Lead the end-to-end design and delivery of dynamic leadership programs for executives at all levels (hires, mid-level managers, and senior leaders). Define the strategic foundations of initiatives (the "why") and measure the ROI and impact of these initiatives on our operations.
• Integrated Talent Management Strategy: In collaboration with the People and Culture group (HR, recruitment, succession planning), build a strong pool of diverse leaders and ensure that the skills acquired during training are easily accessible.
• Monitoring Activities and Finances: Manage the annual budgeting process for the portfolio, resource allocation, vendor contracts, and software/platform governance.
• Agile Project Delivery: Oversee project lifecycles, from quarterly planning to data-driven reviews. Establish KPIs to track progress, optimize delivery models, and regularly present results to senior management.
• Team Leadership: Hire, coach, and lead a highly performing team comprising internal professionals and external consultants.

Desired Profile

• Drive and communication skills.
• Bilingualism: Proficiency in both French and English, and a professional attitude that allows you to influence and advise senior executives.
• Strategic Thinking: Ability to transform complex organizational challenges into concrete and innovative learning solutions.
• Change Leadership: Diplomacy and conflict management skills, to guide leaders through structural and cultural transformations.

Experience and Expertise

• Education: Bachelor's degree or master's degree in human resources, organizational development, or a related field.
• Experience: At least five years of experience in managing significant leadership development portfolios (team management, product governance, and vendor management).
• Domain Expertise: In-depth knowledge of modern pedagogical design, coaching frameworks, assessment tools, and global trends in learning and development.
• Strong Asset: Experience related to the media industry or the cultural sector.
