Description:

We are seeking a talented individual to join our Transformation team at Marsh Risk. This role will be based in Toronto. This is a hybrid role that has a requirement of working at least three days a week in the office.

As the Canada Transformation Office Leader, you will help shape and deliver the region's most important strategic priorities. This is a highly visible leadership role that will work closely with Canada's senior executive team, focused on turning strategy into execution-driving outcomes, enabling change, and building momentum across the business.

This is an opportunity to lead the Transformation Office team in Canada, oversee delivery of high-impact initiatives, serve as a key connector between Canada leadership and broader enterprise transformation efforts and shape how Canada executes strategy-building the operating rhythm, governance, and storytelling that drives results.

We will count on you to:

You will be accountable for translating strategic priorities into measurable results, with responsibilities including:
  • Lead and develop the Canada Transformation Office team, setting clear direction, priorities, and a high-performance culture
  • Drive execution of high-profile, cross-functional initiatives from concept through delivery-ensuring scope, timelines, risks, and dependencies are actively managed
  • Partner with Canada business leaders to define transformation roadmaps and solve complex, ambiguous problems with practical, actionable plans
  • Align Canada initiatives with broader cross-regional strategy, ensuring consistency while tailoring approaches to local business needs
  • Create executive-ready narratives and materials (e.g., updates, business cases, progress reporting, and stakeholder communications) that clearly "tell the story" and accelerate decision-making
  • Represent the Transformation Office for Canada, acting as a trusted advisor and point of connection across stakeholders and teams


What you need to have:
  • 10+ years of experience in strategy, operations, finance, banking, project/program management, consulting, or a related role
  • 4+ years of people leadership experience, with a track record of building, coaching, and motivating teams
  • Demonstrated experience supporting or leading organizational change, transformation, or large-scale initiatives (does not need to be a dedicated transformation role)
  • Bachelor's degree required; MBA preferred
  • Strong executive presence with excellent written and verbal communication skills; comfortable presenting to and influencing senior leaders
  • A self-starter mindset with urgency, curiosity, and sound judgment-able to navigate ambiguity, connect dots quickly, and propose solutions
  • Proven ability to work across functions, manage competing priorities, and drive progress through stakeholders without direct authority


Why join our team:

  • We help you be your best through professional development opportunities, interesting work and supportive leaders.
  • We foster a vibrant and inclusive culture where you can work with talented colleagues to create new solutions and have impact for colleagues, clients and communities.
