**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 municipal sector. The Advisor also assists with the integration and streamlining of knowledge management, exchange and mobilization across other units within GMF.

The Advisor reports to the Manager, Capacity Development - Climate-ready plans and Processes. They will be responsible for designing and delivering the following aspects of the capacity development program.

**What you’ll be doing**:

- Support the design and development of awareness raising and inspiring programming related to GMF Adaptation programs, specifically Climate-ready plans and Processes.
- Lead the development and delivery of knowledge tools, resources and activities that support municipalities in planning for and building municipal resilience.
- Develop knowledge mobilization and dissemination systems and strategies to optimize GMF’s impact and reach in the Canadian municipal 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.
- Identifying and development partnership for training and activity delivery in GMF’s Adaptation funding areas.
- 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 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.).
- Collaborate with colleagues across the GMF team and in other FCM programs to ensure a coordinated and complimentary approach to FCM engagement with external partners and our membership.

**Your skills make us better**:
You bring:
**Education**:

- Masters’ Degree (or combined life accomplishments) in environmental studies, planning, or related field with strong background in organizational learning, adult education, or equivalent.

**Experience**:

- Five to eight (5 - 8) years’ experience in a relevant role (e.g., urban planning, organizational learning, information/knowledge management, training/capacity building, working in an evidence and results-based environment) that requires facilitating information and knowledge exchange within or between organizations, conducting research and developing training materials.

**Knowledge & Competencies**:

- Experience using knowledge sharing tools and platforms (e.g., Learning Management System, Client Relationship Management Database e.g. CRM365, data visualization software e.g. Power BI).
