  • Demonstrated experience in developing and implementing risk management strategies.
  • Strong track record of creating and executing policies and procedures related to finance and administration.
  • Exceptional organizational and analytical skills, with a focus on problem-solving and sound decision-making.
  • Outstanding communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to build strong relationships and work effectively with a variety of stakeholders.
  • Experience managing in a unionized work environment, including familiarity with collective agreements and labor relations.
  • Highly adaptable, with the ability to balance and prioritize multiple tasks in a dynamic environment.
  • Skilled in process design and improvement to enhance organizational efficiency.
  • Integrity, credibility, and cultural sensitivity, coupled with a personable and approachable demeanor.
