Toronto, Canada Northcrest Developments Full time

**THE ORGANIZATION**

Northcrest Developments (“Northcrest”) is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Public Sector Pension Investment Board (“PSP”), which owns the 370-acre Downsview Airport Lands. Northcrest is responsible for leading the redevelopment of this extraordinary site, which will be transformed into a series of thriving complete, mixed-use communities over the coming decades.

With a 30-year horizon before development is complete, Northcrest recognizes the opportunity to pursue public-facing activities on the lands to create an early sense of place. Using arts & culture, sports & recreation, innovation pilots, and other placemaking initiatives, there is an opportunity for the Downsview Airport Lands to immediately become a hub for community, commercial and cultural activity, with programming taking place across the 2.1km runway and inside large-scale hangars. This is a once in a generation opportunity to become a part of an extraordinary city-building and destination-making project.

**THE POSITION**

Reporting to the Executive Director, Site Activation & Programming, the Programming Manager will curate and produce experiences, events, installations and activations on the site, as well as provide client-servicing to third parties who choose to host their independently produced activities on the Downsview Airport Lands. With the unique opportunity to help build a vibrant public destination from the ground up, the Programming Manager will curate and implement high-quality and well-executed programs that reflect local priorities as well as activities with city-wide appeal.

The Programming Manager will ensure the success of these programs by collaborating with other internal departments to drive attendance and secure external partnerships. In addition, this role will work collaboratively with the rest of the Northcrest team to support the overall master plan development, to assist in implementing organizational strategy, integrate responsible development, and participate in community outreach and engagement.
