The knowledge and networking gained through participation in the program would help to ensure the long-term success of the Canadian ZEV market by supporting on-the-ground business innovation being performed by Canadian firms, especially SMEs.

**The Role, Cont**:
As Program Director, you will develop the Program definition and approach in consultation with internal and external partners, and build and lead multi-disciplinary, collaborative research teams, to operationalize a program that will directly support the research and technology needs of the Canadian automotive industry and the broader innovation needs of Canada’s economy.

Under your leadership, the Program will bring together government, academic and business researchers. This will consist of a core team of dedicated research, technical, and program management staff drawn from a variety of the NRC's research centres and the NRC’s Industrial Research Assistance Program (NRC-IRAP). This program will build upon the expertise of over 50 NRC staff and NRC facilities across Canada.
