Kitchener, Ontario, Canada MEDA (Mennonite Economic Development Associates) Full time
MEDA is an international economic development organization that creates business solutions to poverty.

Working in agri-food market systems, focusing primarily on women and youth in rural communities in the Global South for decent job creation.

To achieve this, MEDA is shifting its focus beyond project-specific efforts to establish lasting alliances that bring about systemic change.

Agri-food Market Systems : MEDA directs its efforts toward specific agri-food market systems in the Global South.

The approach involves addressing social norms, power dynamics, and systemic inequalities by collaborating with stakeholders to develop culturally appropriate strategies, aiming to expand choices and opportunities within these systems.


North-South Equilibrium:

MEDA is committed to decolonization which will lead to localization, intentionally transferring power from the Global North to the Global South through the design and delivery of initiatives and evolving into a relevant role as an iNGO that allows for the growth of organizations in the global south, increased coordination and reduced fragmentation in the approach of how it works.

This involves pursuing transformational and sustainable solutions through collaborative projects.

The Vice President People & Culture (VP P&C) is a pivotal member of MEDA's executive leadership team, responsible for shaping the vision, strategy, and execution of organizational effectiveness through talent and culture management programs.

This role collaborates with the leadership team and key stakeholders to cultivate an empowered, values-driven workplace culture, and actively plan for future talent needs.

The job holder will offer strategic counsel to guide the organization through the complexities of culture and effective talent utilization and retention.

Reporting to the President and CEO, the VP P&C leads MEDA's programs and strategies related to employees and culture supporting the creation of a high-performance culture aligned with MEDA's strategic goals.

Expertise in change management and innovation is essential for success in this role. This role will champion change management and innovation, ensuring MEDA remains agile in a dynamic external landscape.

This pivotal role offers a unique opportunity to drive transformational change across MEDA's global operations from implementing their newly rolled-out regional structure to fostering a culture of accountability, fairness, and proactive engagement.

This role will lead the cultural shift that propels us forward and position MEDA as an employer of choice globally.

It is an opportunity to make a global difference for strategic doers who excel in fast-paced environments and have proven track records in operational oversight and global team management while being the external face of MEDA, championing the organization's commitment to impactful change and efficiency on a global scale.
