The Opportunity

If the opportunity to build something new and shape the future of Canada's public service media company sounds exciting, this is the perfect role for you.

We are looking for a visionary yet disciplined leader who thrives in ambiguity and loves driving complex, multi-moving-part initiatives. You have a head for strategy, excellent relationship-building skills, and are as comfortable building budget forecasts as you are presenting to executive leadership.

What You Will Do

As Senior Manager, you will design, scale, and sustain an enterprise-wide leadership development strategy aligned with CBC/Radio-Canada's 2025-2030 Enterprise Strategy. You will oversee a modern portfolio that includes flagship development programs, on-demand learning, coaching services, and leadership assessments.

Key Responsibilities:

• Strategic Roadmap & Modernization: Develop and execute a 3-5 year leadership roadmap focused on closing modern capability gaps (e.g., hybrid team management, digital/AI fluency, resilience, and inclusive leadership).
• Portfolio & Program Management: Lead the end-to-end design and delivery of dynamic leadership programs for emerging, mid-level, and senior executives. Define the strategic "Why" and measure the ROI/business impact of these initiatives.
• Integrated Talent Strategy: Partner with People & Culture (HR, Recruitment, Succession Planning) to build a robust, diverse leadership pipeline and ensure seamless post-program skill application.
• Fiscal & Operational Oversight: Manage the portfolio's annual budgeting, resource allocation, vendor contracts, and software/platform governance.
• Agile Project Delivery: Oversee project lifecycles from quarterly planning to data-driven post-mortems. Establish KPIs to monitor progress, optimize delivery models, and regularly report results to senior executives.
• Team Leadership: Hire, coach, and manage a high-performing team of internal professionals and external consultants.

What You Bring:

• Interpersonal & Communication Skills
• Bilingualism: Fluent in both English and French with the professional polish to influence and advise executive stakeholders
• Strategic Thinking: Ability to translate complex organizational challenges into innovative, actionable learning solutions.
• Change Leadership: Diplomacy and conflict-management skills to guide leaders through structural and cultural transformations.

Experience & Knowledge:

• Education: Bachelor's or Master's degree in Human Resources, Organizational Development, or a related field.
• Experience: 5+ years of experience leading large-scale Leadership Development portfolios, including team management, product governance, and vendor management.
• Domain Expertise: Deep knowledge of modern instructional design, coaching frameworks, assessment tools, and global L&D trends.
• Asset: Prior exposure to the media or cultural industries is a strong asset.

Candidates may be subject to skills and knowledge testing.

We thank all applicants for their interest, but only candidates selected for an interview will be contacted.
