**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**:
Reporting to the **Manager, Impact Research and Performance**, the **Research Officer** is responsible for gathering insights and delivering solutions for the GMF. This role involves conducting GMF performance research, managing and leading performance reporting for the GMF Annual Report, liaising with program staff across GMF, and supporting the development of GMF programming through engagement practices. The Research Officer plays a key role in advancing GMF’s strategic objectives related to sustainable infrastructure and community development. This is an important role in one of Canada’s leading impact finance organizations.

This role may be right for you if you align with the following:

- You are driven to improve municipal sustainability by ensuring that GMF-funded projects and capacity building activities are designed and implemented to ensure maximum environmental outcomes.
- You are constantly seeking personal, professional, and organizational improvement.
- You are a self-learner who is inspired to keep building your own expertise as the need and opportunity arise.
- You thrive in a team environment working collaboratively to achieve results.
- You can balance professionalism with passion and humour.
- You are willing to take smart risks and fail and learn from the process.

The work at FCM includes FCM becoming an even more member-driven organization that balances the realization of its goals with a people-centered approach. The incumbent embodies FCM’s commitment to being a healthy, diverse, inclusive, and anti-racist organization. As an Impact, Research & Performance Research Officer works in a manner that embraces these values, the corporate culture and the passion for FCM’s mandate.
