**Location**: Ottawa or Toronto, Ontario (hybrid)

**Closing date**: July 14, 2023

**Salary range**: $86,000 to $107,000 per year as of August 7, 2023

CADTH is Canada’s drug and health technology agency. We’re a not-for-profit organization headquartered in Ottawa, with a satellite office in Toronto. We’re funded by Canada’s federal, provincial, and territorial governments, with the exception of Quebec, to provide independent information and advice to the country’s publicly funded health care systems. Health administrators and policy experts rely on CADTH to inform their decisions about the funding and appropriate use of the drugs, devices, and services used to prevent, diagnose, and treat medical conditions.

Primary Focus
Reporting to the Director, Drug Data Services and Analytics, the Program Development Officer (Drug Portfolio) will be responsible for overseeing the development of, and defining the corresponding deliverables for, projects focused on pharmaceuticals. You will work closely with the CADTH project teams to ensure an ongoing focus on meeting federal, provincial, and territorial health care decision-maker needs. The Program Development Officer is also responsible for finding the balance that matches customer needs with the feasibility of the request.

This position is specifically being filled to enable CADTH to respond to emerging opportunities in health and health policy, including federal priorities such as the National Framework for Drugs for Rare Diseases.

On any given day, the Program Development Officer (Drug Portfolio) will:

- ensure that the CADTH product(s) in the drug portfolio support customer decision-making needs by:

- developing topics for CADTH Optimal Use and Therapeutic Reviews, Environmental Scans, and Horizon Scanning products using proactive scans and via dialogue with clinical experts
- consulting and dialoguing with representatives from publicly funded federal, provincial, and territorial drug benefit plans in Canada; clinical experts; and appropriate CADTH staff; developing project proposals including the specific deliverables for projects (e.g., reports, recommendations, and tools) to maximize impact
- monitoring projects throughout their life cycle to ensure the deliverables continue to meet customer needs
- working collaboratively with internal CADTH teams to promote the delivery, uptake, and impact of CADTH deliverables
- be fully informed of key stakeholders (e.g., clinical experts, advocates, and disease specialty groups) to participate in topic identification and development of projects
- act as the primary point of contact for inquiries related to the assigned priority areas in the drug portfolio
- work with the Manager to support the formulary working group committees by preparing background briefing materials, attending meetings, presenting materials, and performing other duties, as required
- represent CADTH nationally and/or internationally, upon request, at meetings, conferences, and other events; and provide presentations on relevant priority areas of research

Is this the right role for you?
The Program Development Officer (Drug Portfolio) will likely have:

- a graduate degree in a health-related discipline, with 4 years of relevant experience or, alternatively, a BSc in Pharmacy with 4 years of relevant experience.
- knowledge and understanding of drug therapy, pharmacoeconomic and drug evaluation principles, and how best to maximize the uptake and impact of evidence-based information in the health sector
- experience working with clinical registries or administrative health databases in a research setting or for program evaluations
- an understanding of the Canadian health care system and knowledge of the decision-making processes within the federal, provincial, and territorial jurisdictions
- a strong writing, presentation, negotiation, and facilitation skills, together with solid planning and analytical skills
- strong customer service orientation, with the ability to communicate and build collaborative and productive relationships with a variety of stakeholders
- experience managing multiple tasks, with the ability to manage and facilitate change
- conceptual thinking skills to promote systems thinking and identify trends and process improvements
- the ability to thrive and effectively identify potential solutions in situations characterized by uncertainty or ambiguity.

What will set you apart?
