You will be a member of a highly skilled, energetic and committed team of professionals to advise and carry out the plans of the AcSB.

- establish and nurture senior level contacts with various stakeholder groups and other international standard setters;
- work independently to identify issues, explore alternatives, propose solutions and prepare any necessary meeting materials;
- clearly articulate the results of your work to the Chair and volunteer members of the AcSB; and
- design and present webcasts, and develop other communiques.
- A dynamic and strategic thinker with sound judgment and integrity.
- Interpersonal skills that reflect your ability to perform with tact and diplomacy when dealing in group situations.
- In-depth knowledge of accounting standards.
- Experience with the private for-profit sector and/ or the not-for-profit sectors is desirable.
- A flair for research and preparing creative solutions to complex problems.
- The ability to plan and carry out projects according to plan.
- An effective writer and presenter.
- A team player.

Success depends on your ability to integrate strong technical knowledge with effective strategic thinking and communication skills, and to facilitate consensus and understanding among key stakeholders.

Fluency in English is required and French is desirable.
