Toronto, Canada Public Policy Forum Full time

The Public Policy Forum is seeking a broad-minded, intellectually ambitious and entrepreneurial leader with a passion for public policy and a track record in one or more of government, academia, think tanks or related organizations. We are looking for a doer and thinker, someone enthusiastic about engaging with our many partners and ready to lead a team of Policy Leads and Associates and part-time Fellows in designing processes to tackle policy challenges. This is a critical role in our organization, one that faces inward and outward.
- PPF prides itself on being the think tank about tomorrow, an applied policy shop working with a cross-section of stakeholders to put forward fresh policy approaches on emerging issues. Our research is generally accompanied by convening interested parties coming from differing perspectives. The Vice-President of Policy is a key member of the leadership team and is responsible for planning and overseeing our policy agenda and research activities, as well as ensuring their impact and excellence.
- The position reports to the President & CEO and will work closely with members of the PPF team in delivering on the organization’s strategic and operational mandates. We operate off of four delivery platforms for our content: publications, convenings, PPF Media and our learning arm, PPF Academy.
- The Vice-President will represent PPF in policy discussions at conferences and in the media and will sometimes hold the pen on PPF reports or other vehicles that communicate our content. We are looking for someone with recognized public policy expertise who will seek to amplify that recognition on the PPF platform.
- **SCOPE AND OBJECTIVES OF THE POSITION**
- PPF conducts research and engagement activities within a portfolio of public policy issues of relevance to Canada and its people with an eye to being “the think tank about tomorrow.” Although this portfolio will evolve over time, our focus on a handful of primary areas of inquiry allows us to build knowledge, relationships and reputation. Some areas will be more active than others at a given time. Our portfolio of activities currently consists of:

Economic Growth, Competitiveness and Living Standards
- Climate Change & Energy Transition
- Technological and Social Progress
- Canada Amidst Geopolitical Change
- Democratic Trust & Good Governance
- A primary task of the Vice-President of Policy is to identify where PPF can be of assistance to policy-making in the face of changing circumstances and to design relevant research initiatives and event programming in support of a publicly interested agenda. All PPF initiatives draw on partnerships for intellectual and financial capital. Working closely with the partnership team, the Vice-President of Policy and the policy team interact with PPF’s diverse group of 200+ members, who reside on the frontiers of policymaking and policy impacts. The VP Policy also interacts regularly with PPF Media and PPF Academy.
- The major activities of the Vice-President of Policy are:

- **Research and Policy Analysis**
- In conjunction with the CEO, plan and execute PPF’s research and engagement activities, ensuring they are forward-looking, excellent and dynamic
- Provide oversight and guidance to the policy team members working on reports and programs and ensuring they are consistently of high relevance and quality
- Manage roster of PPF Fellows in organizing their contributions to PPF priorities, and lead the recruitment of future PPF Fellows
- Through readings and ongoing conversations with contacts in government and elsewhere, ensure the ongoing monitoring of policy trends in PPF’s priority areas of concentration, and bring to the attention of the PPF team any emerging issues
- Work closely with the PPF Academy to design curriculum opportunities flowing from the policy team’s research agenda and build economies of scale by leveraging resources and shared agendas
- Collaborate with PPF Media and other PPF departments to heighten the impact of PPF’s policy work
- Work with other members of the management team in securing research partnerships of various types
- Work closely with the Vice-President Corporate & CFO and the Director of Operations and Planning on project budgets and project management

**Outreach and Project Development**
- Collaborate with external partners to develop PPF’s projects and initiatives
- Build broad networks reaching into the various communities with a public policy interest
- Work with other members of the PPF team in liaising with foundations, private and public sector organizations, and other external partners in attracting funding for PPF initiatives
- Serve as a public face of PPF in the media, external events, and within the policy community
- Prepare and deliver presentations and briefings to policy conferences, membership meetings, and external parties

**Management and Team Building**
- Assign project work to policy team members, ensuring the team’s w
