**Why GMF is the place for you**

At GMF, we empower our people to create change where it has the most impact - municipalities. GMF is a $1.6 billion permanent endowment from the Government of Canada, managed at arm's length, making it nimble and available for higher-risk, higher-impact initiatives. A further $530M investment into GMF to support the National Adaptation Strategy was announced in November 2022. Our team is committed to helping local governments switch to sustainable practices faster. GMF is the cornerstone program of the Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM).

Our unique mix of funding, resources, and training gives municipalities the tools they need to build resiliency — and create better lives for Canadians. Through GMF, municipalities have reduced carbon emissions; built better transportation assets; constructed efficient and resilient buildings; diverted waste from landfill; made previously unusable land available for development; and improved soil and water quality.

**You in this role**:
The Advisor, Capacity Development, develops and delivers programming to support capacity building objectives in the priority GMF areas, specifically in broad reach programming, facilitating learning, designing new or innovative learning materials or approaches, and refining GMF’s knowledge management systems. The Advisor uses innovative methods to develop, transfer, broker and mobilize program knowledge nationally with the affordable housing sector. The Advisor also assists with the integration and streamlining of knowledge management, exchange and mobilization across other units within GMF.

The work at FCM includes FCM becoming an even more member-driven organization that balances the realization of its goals with a people-centered approach. The incumbent embodies FCM’s commitment to being a healthy, diverse, inclusive, and anti-racist organization. As a member of the team, the Advisor, Capacity Development works in a manner that embraces these values, the corporate culture and the passion for FCM’s mandate.

**What you’ll be doing**:

- Support the design and development of awareness raising and inspiring programming related to GMF’s Sustainable Affordable Housing initiative.
- Lead the development and delivery of innovative or first of kind knowledge tools, resources and activities that support affordable housing providers in planning for and building and retrofitting energy efficient housing that emits lower greenhouse gas emissions.
- Identifying and developing partnerships for training and activity delivery for GMF’s Sustainable Affordable Housing initiative.
- Develop knowledge mobilization and dissemination systems and strategies to optimize GMF’s impact and reach in the Canadian affordable housing sector.
- Lead the development and refining of knowledge management systems for the Capacity Development team, liaising and collaborating with other GMF units.
- Promote and support internal organizational collaboration on knowledge development, brokering and sharing activities.
- Review and analyse trends from GMF supported initiatives for the purpose of producing new capacity development products and services based on best practice and lessons learned.
- Empower capacity development staff delivering capacity development activities and services for affordable housing providers, municipal staff, elected officials.
- Design and deliver new or first-of-kind capacity building products and services (such as trainings, workshops, advisory services, guidebooks, etc.).
