**About Us**

The Weston Family Foundation is a family-led charitable foundation that focuses on creative solutions in the areas of healthy aging and healthy ecosystems with the objective of delivering measurable impacts to the well-being of Canadians.

**Program Manager, **Microbiome***

12 Month Contract Position (August 2023 - August 2024)

**About the Foundation**

At the Weston Family Foundation (formerly The W. Garfield Weston Foundation), more than 60 years of philanthropy has taught us that there’s a relationship between healthy landscapes and healthy people. That’s why we champion world-class health research and innovation with the same passion that we support initiatives to protect and restore biodiversity on our unique landscapes. We take a collaborative approach to philanthropy, working alongside forward-thinking partners to advance Canada and create lasting impacts. We aspire to do more than provide funding, as we enable others to find transformational ways to improve the well-being of Canadians.

**The Role**

The Program Manager, Microbiome is responsible for helping to support and execute the strategy of the Foundation’s Microbiome Committee (a committee comprised of a subset of Directors of the Board). He/she/they works to help manage the Committee’s program portfolio in support of the Foundation’s aim to improve the health and wellbeing of Canadians by funding organizations that catalyze and scale science-based approaches.

The Program Manager will work closely with other Foundation team members and report to the Senior Program Director, Microbiome. It is expected that the Program Manager will use the best practices and approaches set forth by the Foundation’s leadership team to position the Microbiome Committee in strong internal and external standing. The Program Manager preferably holds an advanced degree and expertise in a relevant field, such as microbiology, brain health, diet and nutrition, or clinical research. He/she/they brings experience in project and/or grant management. Working very closely with the Senior Program Director and other members of the Microbiome Committee, the Program Manager uses his/her/their understanding and acumen of health research and implementation to bring sound judgement, help uncover new opportunities and recommend ideas in support of the Microbiome Committee’s priorities and vision.
