We understand qualifications on a job posting can be daunting. If you're passionate about the role and believe you can make a meaningful impact, we want to hear from you, even if you don't meet every listed qualification. We're always looking for great talent to join our team on planet MaRS.

**About Momentum**:
MaRS' Momentum program supports the executives of high-growth companies on their way to reaching $100 million in revenue or $1 billion valuation. We deliver support through three modalities: advice from proven entrepreneurs, scale-stage peer communities, and access to market data and skills training.

**About the role**:

- Provide strategic and operational input on program elements to ensure the program maintains high value for ventures

**Qualifications**:
