Working collaboratively with various ecosystem participants, including the Operations Director, the portfolio manager will identify, engage, and map key stakeholders, conduct needs assessments, and drive knowledge mobilization activities. Building robust relationships with project teams, particularly with Knowledge Mobilization Leads and the corresponding Data Portfolio Manager, will be key to successfully achieving project objectives.

Key responsibilities:

  • Engage with multiple project teams and serve as a liaison to ensure effective knowledge mobilization planning, map needs and gaps, and establish portfolio level themes.
  • Facilitate the mobilization and communication of knowledge stemming from national projects, ensuring it reaches relevant ecosystem participants.
  • Cultivate strong relationships with project teams, focused on working closely with Knowledge Mobilization Leads and the corresponding Data Portfolio Manager.
  • Provide consultation and guidance to the project team, leveraging expertise to enhance knowledge mobilization efforts.
  • Coordinate and facilitate communication between the portfolio partners and other key ecosystem partners, ensuring a smooth flow of information and knowledge exchange.
  • Identify opportunities where alignment exists between national projects with the strategic portfolio level goals.
  • Support the Operations Director to develop action plans, track progress, and report on achievements.
  • Supervising student writers/content creators who will be recruited to record workshop discussions, synthesize knowledge and create reports and other knowledge mobilization products.

To be considered for this role, candidates must have:

  • An undergraduate degree level of education or equivalent
  • At least 5 years of experience in the field of Knowledge Mobilization within a university, hospital, NGO, government agency/department or equivalent
  • Proven Experience in Knowledge Mobilization and Project Management

  • Demonstrated ability to anticipate and identify problems; analyze, recommend and execute solutions
